When EA Mythic‘s Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning hits the market, it’s pretty much a given that gamers will be looking for the best place to start farming for loot. Those who’ve played MMORPGs will probably assume that this is the area with the most monsters. If this holds true, then Mount Bloodhorn might be a good place to start.
Mount Bloodhorn has always been a harsh place where only the strong survive. The area was discovered by an Imperial expedition lead by Erich Krieghoffer who was on a mission to establish a trade route to the far south of the Empire.
A mercenary group lead by Captain Dietrich Lichtermann, was hired to protect the caravan. Unfortunately, escalating tensions between Dietrich and Erich lead to a desertion of the mercenary group.
Without the expedition maps, Lichtermann and his ragtag band soon became lost. Knowing that they would not survive without food and shelter the good captain immediately went about to secure the necessary supplies.
Things were going well for the group as they found a cave for shelter and an underground stream for their water. The group’s martial prowess was put to good use as well, as they hunted for animals to sustain themselves.
Unfortunately, a big horde of Orcs and Goblins discovered the area and quickly settled in. The greenskin tribes moved their Squig pens to Mount Bloodhorn and started to deplete the area of trees to create their siege engines.
Soon, Lichtermann and his people were hard pressed to defend the very caves they called home. At this point the trade routes to the south were already established by a second expedition sent out by Erich Kreighoffer’s father. Lichtermann saw an opportunity and has ordered his men to raid the caravans which pass through this route to replenish their dwindling supplies.
Like most areas contested by many factions, Mount Bloodhorn offers both great risk and rewards to those who would travel there. So the moment you’re ready adventurer, strap on that backpack and head on to Mount Bloodhorn. Take your first step to being immortalized in the songs of bards and history books of wizened mages.
