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.

MechaKing: Elimination In Process


New Avatar: MechaKing

MechaKing is a melee combat machine created by Kodia of the URSA Corps in an attempt to expand their ranks beyond the elite nucleus of the crew, but she has experienced mixed results with this automated soldier due to the lack of heart and soul within the machine. MechaKing is prone to unpredictable behavior and a ruthlessness the URSA Corps does not support, but they cannot argue with the dead enemies he leaves behind.

Skullcrusher: Time To Crush


Gold Edition War Beast Avatar: Skullcrusher

When War Beast brought his frenzied pets from the depths of the Underworld, he included a litter of savage hellhounds he’d been experimenting with. He chose the most vicious of these and used a blend of impromptu surgery and fel magic to turn them into two-­legged soldiers bred to swarm Legion trenches and fortifications, then transform into their true four-­legged form to ensure there were no survivors.

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.

Straw Man Lodestone: Fueled By Nightmares


New Lodestone Avatar: Straw Man

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.
