Until 11 December 2026 the live league content is 0.5.5 Forbidden Rites, alongside Runes of Aldur. Conquerors of Wraeclast is the 1.0 league, not the one you create a character in today.

Start-time conflict on Forbidden Rites

The Forbidden Rites FAQ says 1 PM Pacific Daylight Time. The wiki records 19:00 UTC. 1 PM PDT is 20:00 UTC, so the wiki line is an hour earlier. I show both on the Forbidden Rites page. The end is the 1.0 launch, and both sources agree on that part.
