From the mountain passes of Chrace, we now turn to the plains of Ellyrion in EA Mythic‘s Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning.

The mountain passes of Chrace aren’t the only strategic areas in the kingdom of Ulthuan; the plains of Ellyrion are also of vital importance to High Elf and Dark Elf alike. In Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, EA Mythic tells us why this is so.

As is the case with Chrace, Ellyrion is home to menhir stones that anchor the Vortex, a prime magical target of the Druchii forces. Fortunately for the Asur, the elite forces known as the Ellyrian Reavers stand ready to halt the Dark Elf advance. These mounted warriors serve as messengers, scouts and deadly ambushers against all who would dare invade Ulthuan.

The greatest impediment to the Druchii invasion, however, may not even be the Reavers, however formidable the riders may be. Ironically, it is the ongoing political intrigue between the Dark Elf forces that may ultimately prove to be the Druchii’s undoing.

And yet, even as the in-fighting between the noble houses of Lord Ulthorin and Lady Arkaneth continues, the greenskins arrive to ravage the land of Ellyrion. Will they succeed? Watch this space for more updates regarding the war in EA Mythic’s Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning.
