Boggus: Death From Afar

New Avatar: Boggus

Boggus earns his keep as a member of the gang by thrashing through the Rulian Marsh and tearing down any remaining structures from bygone eras, then selling the salvaged bits to the ruffians and privateers who prey upon anyone foolish enough to chart a course through the dark, forbidding territory. But he's always kept the best discoveries for the gang, and now that the Rulian Warlord has assembled the troops to exert his will upon Newerth, Boggus straps on the cannons, hefts the heavy weaponry, and lights his soggy linstock for some real, dirty fun. Owning Ultimate Rulian Warlord Flint gives Boggus an upgraded weapon and effects!

New Avatar: New Year's Eve Reborn Ra

Amun-Ra has left a wide path of destruction behind him, and as the New Year approaches he is ready to ignite some changes in his life! He's made a resolution to bury his rage and grudges -- ashes to ashes, dust to dust and all that -- and celebrate the stroke of midnight with a pyroclasmic rebirth! He also signed up for a gym membership, so we give the whole thing about five days before he's back to the old Ra.

Savior Legionnaire: In The Name Of The Legion

New A.R.M.S Avatar: Savior Legionnaire

* The Savior Advanced Robotic Mobile Suits (or A.R.M.S.) were discovered in a sealed military bunker buried nearly a mile below the City of Iron, unearthed by the dwarves scraping every shred of ore from the endless tunnels and caverns. They seem to have been created by a previous civilization in a time of great conflict, designed to carry elite warriors into battle and protect them from harm while allowing them to carry weapons far beyond the capability of mere humans. * The Legionnaire was first in line to test the found technology, becoming Savior Legionnaire, and his thruster-aided charges and massive whirling blade have shown the Legion that while they have been searching for the weapon they need to defeat the Hellbourne, it is the warrior who wields it that will make the difference.

Killawatt: The Warlord's Gunsmith

New Avatar: Killawatt

Killawatt could have gone down in Rulian history for harnessing the crackling, viscous electricity of the marsh eels and using it to bring light and power to the dark corners of the swamp, but instead he used it to fry his enemies while protecting himself with charged shields. Classic Rulian. However, the shield could not protect him from the marsh eel swimming in his custom-made power vat, and when he prodded it once too often the creature responded by biting Killawatt's arm off. Again, this is common in the marsh. This did not thwart the industrious rodent, who built himself a mechanical appendage to serve as a constant conduit for his swamp shocks. Killawat now serves as the gunsmith for the Rulian Warlord, making sure his weapons are always functional and (mostly) clean. Owning Ultimate Rulian Warlord Flint gives Killawatt an upgraded weapon and effects!

Snow Queen Shiva : Your War Cry Will Freeze

New Holiday Edition Avatar: Snow Queen Shiva

In the deepest, darkest winters when even the sunlight is frozen before it can reach the icy treetops, the inhabitants of the Frost Fields keep their hopes burning by praying to Shiva, the benevolent goddess who floats across the icebound landscape, seemingly untouched by the frigid air and offering her most precious gift: freezing her people where they lay, allowing them to sleep until the towering mountains of snow melt and the streams run free once again. It is indeed a hardy, obstinate group of people who would rather freeze to death than relocate, and they embody the spirit of their goddess Shiva.

Calamity: Dragonfire & Ruin

New Hellbourne Hero: Calamity

* When the boy king falls from grace his tainted soul will be judged by The Three, and he shall be lost forever behind the calamitous Sunder, the great horror who traps all condemned souls within the endless Hells with his vast wings. And so begins the Third Corruption.

* Sister Arete of the Sacred Order believed Sol had set her upon a path to be King Jeraziah's Queen and provide him with an heir. She knew the King was struggling to counter the brutality of the Hellbourne's dark magic, so she hid herself in the catacombs below the Cathedral of Arasunia and devoted her studies to the black arts until she was expert, able to consult Jeraziah on the daemonic forces that were turning his armies into corpses and dust.

* When Sister Arete finally musters the courage to forsake her vows of the Sacred Order and present herself to the King, Jeraziah accuses her of being a daemon herself, trying to tempt him into the sin that would cast his soul down to be judged by The Three Judges of All Hells: Minos, Abaddon, and Aeacus, and forever imprisoned by the dragon guardian Sunder.

* Sister Arete is expulsed from the Sacred Order and exiled from Arasunia, but her months spent with the dark arts have twisted her mind and spirit into believing she will stand beside Jeraziah whether he likes it or not, and she has a plan to do so. She bursts back into the Cathedral and gorges on poison on the altar, killing herself and sending her soul to be weighed by The Three Judges, who condemn her to an eternity of wearing a crown of corpses and being burned alive by Hellfire.

* This is what Sister Arete wants.

* She is sent to face Sunder, who hoards the souls within the Vault of All Hells, and she uses her powers to make the fearsome guardian her pet. Now she has become Calamity, breaking open the doors of hell and unleashing an endless stream of tortured souls upon Newerth. But she cares not about this - she will kill every one of Jeraziah's soldiers until only he is left standing, and then she will stand beside him, ruling the Third Corruption together.

Minos: Thirst For Vengeance

Puppet Master Alt Avatar: Minos

In ancient Greece, King Minos ordered his architect Daedalus to construct the Labyrinth to hide the Minotaur, a half-man, half-bull monstrosity resulting from his wife being cursed by Poseidon and spending some quality time with a bull. When Minos tried to find and kill Daedalus - the only man who knew the truth about the Minotaur - he was tricked, boiled to death, and sent to the underworld. Because of his thirst for revenge on all those who wronged him and his uncanny ability to exert his will over others, he manipulated his way into becoming one of Three Judges of All Hells, where he has ruled for centuries. Until now.

Sagittarius: Fury Of The Hunter

New Limited Edition Avatar: Sagittarius

The Centaurs have always been a gentle species upon Newerth, wanting nothing more than to care for the beasts of the forest, enjoy peaceful music and tutor their young in the divine art of archery. Their mythological hero, Sagittarius, has always been the model of benevolence to strive for, he who made the selfless offer to replace the suffering Prometheus and in return was raised to the heavens to rest among the stars. But now the Centaurs send a different prayer to Sagittarius, one of fear and desperation and pleas to save them from extermination at the hands of the Hellbourne, and Sagittarius has answered this call by tearing himself out of the celestial sky and bringing his enchanted bow, loyal wolves, and fierce eagle with him to defend his race.

Roulette Tarot: Always Bet On Roulette

New Avatar: Roulette Tarot

Roulette is a lady by day and a card shark by night; a southern belle with a venomous bite. She relies on chance to dictate her next move, and never worries about the future, knowing that she can only play the hand she was dealt. She is well­versed in probability and lucky strikes, but for all her big wins at the tables, she can never seem to find the right man; love evades her like a 53rd card. Chance can be cruel, but it can also pay off in spades.

Possessed Riftwalker: The Power of The Dark Art

New Avatar: Possessed Riftwalker

Delving further into the forbidden arts that allowed her to access the Rift, the Riftwalker became obsessed with the consumption and manipulation of power. The transcendence of Newerth's mortal plane thrilled her: the ability to control existence and abandon the faux dichotomy of life and death inherent in the system. As she let the Rift overtake her, her physical appearance changed as well, disguising the innocence that composed her pale face with the viscous, writhing carapace of something much more horrid, cosmetically and existentially.

Rune Weaver : The Power of Runes!

New Avatar: Garan the Rune Weaver

* Runeweaver Behemoth's initial concept was conjured by none other than MrKrane (NA/EU), the lucky winner of the Dream Avatar Contest. * The Rune Weavers are the lesser known cousins of the Behemoths; named for their ability to weave together the ancient powers of Newerth with their own powerful magic to create Runes capable of great healing or destruction. This shrouded race of ingenious shamans reveal that the Behemoth bloodline is much more diverse than previously thought, wielding not only great physical strength, but incredible magical prowess as well.
* The Rune Weavers have an innate connection with the earth. Whilst not as physically strong as their cousins, they more than make up for this with their control over their craft. Throughout time they became ever more powerful; by finding a way to create fissures and then close them again within moments, they summoned shock waves that would flatten mountains, mimicking the feats of strength shown by the Behemoths. They would also restore the land they had damaged in the process of defending it. The Rune Weavers are a peaceful race, aiding the good and defending the weak, like their cousins the Behemoths. * When the Hellbourne began ravaging Newerth, the Rune Weavers knew they had to delve deeper into their magic. They needed something powerful enough to aid them and their less magically adept kin to defeat the daemon plague. So they poured metal, magic, blood and sweat into what would become their greatest creation: The Portal Key. An item so perfectly woven, it could manipulate the very fabric of the universe, opening portals to teleport the user instantly into battle. The item was particularly effective when used by their mountainous cousins, who fell upon the enemy, crushing them into the ground and sending those nearby flying. They guard their creation fiercely, allowing only the strongest Legion heroes to use them, although regrettably they have lost some to the Hellbourne as their brothers fell in battle.
* The lost Portal Keys are slowly being taken back, but not without cost.

Savage Mace Chronos: In The Name Of Zeus

New Item Avatar: Savage Mace Chronos

Bia is the personification of force and raw energy. As a constant companion of Zeus, she supported him in the war against the Titans, during which she saw the true power of savagery in the face of the enemy. Over the centuries she has become somewhat more subdued, softened by the devotion of her worshipers and lack of - interest in the endless wars of mankind, and this pitiful state was quickly exposed when she was summoned by Zeus to join the war upon Newerth. The raw brutality of the war between the Legion and Hellbourne was a harsh wake-up call to the once-fierce warrior, and she is determined to take whatever action and acquire any item necessary to revert to her savage state and show these amateurs how to fight a real war.

Designed with scrap materials by a gaggle of goblins, the Straw Men serve not only to keep animals away from the Beast Horde's crop fields, but also as robotic executioners for unlucky wanderers. They patrol the perimeter of farmland areas night and day, never ceasing, fueled by the corpses of people and animals they slaughter. The gigantic furnaces on their back quickly dispose of corpses, leaving no trace of the intruders to identify, and bellowing out large plumes of smoke over taller crops as a warning: enter at your own peril.

Scorpio Slither: Deadly Venom

New Limited Edition Slither Avatar: Scorpio

The eighth sign of the zodiac, Scorpio, is the most deceptive and deadly of the group. The slow­burn of her enemies' life force gives her great pleasure, more so than any quick death could ever give. Few stories are ever told about her, since most of the people who encounter her perish before they can return home. Her personality is as lethal as her venom, leaving her few friends, even in the ranks of the Zodiac. The golden rule, if you see a glint of moonlight on her armor at night, is simply this: do not stick around.

URSA Grizzington: Protector Of The Innocent

New URSA Corps Benzington Avatar: Grizzington

The URSA Corps warrior known as Grizzington began as an animal rights activist who devoted her life to protecting the innocent creatures of Caldavar from the carnage of the war between the Legion and Hellbourne. The conflict has torn through fragile ecosystems, destroyed migration patterns, and left countless carcasses in its wake, pushing many species to the brink of extinction. Convinced the humans of the Legion care for the animals only as far as their pelts can bring wealth and glory, while the Beasts are too preoccupied with survival to care for their less-powerful brothers and sisters, she turned to the sisterhood of the URSA Corps and worked with Kodia to design a suit of armor for herself and her beloved creatures. The first prototype of rider and mount was christened Grizzington, and she rides forth to hunt and kill any who threaten the innocent of Caldavar.
