Münster, January 27th, 2009

PHOENIX Interactive GmbH is proud to announce the second expansion for the ground-breaking 4th Edition of Warlord: Saga of the Storm Customizable Card Game, licensed from Alderac Entertainment Group.

Warlord: Crimson Coast will consist of three Adventure Path Sets (numbered #10-#12) each containing two complete tournament legal decks. Each deck is made of 10 rare, 18 uncommon and 27 common cards. The MRSP for each remains at $31.99 / 24,95 EUR. Crimson Coast will be available in both Europe and North America on April 30th, 2009.

After being thrown into the new lands of Thessyria, the armies of the Accordlands find the land ruled by a mysterious otherworldly race, The Chosen. All resistance in the once proud desert empire has been squashed by the new tyrants. All resistance? Scouts return with reports, that not everything might be as the new rulers wish. Nothrog raiders emerge from the mangrove swamps of Eban-Tarsis and in the port city of Takkaz drunken sailors tell wild stories of ghost ships drifting in the winds and strange lights under the surface. Could the rumors be true of an Elven Empire leagues under the sea?

The second expansion for the increasingly successful 4th Edition of the “game you already know how to play” centers around the skirmishes along the long seashore of Thessyria. It explores the Water aspect of the new elemental magic system and features the first heroes that players could win for their faction in the world-wide Winter Campaign event series.

Before it was Nothrog and Dwarves, now it’s Elves.

Congratulations to both PJ Torres and Roberto Gaiba who won their respective Winter Campaign events with the same Warlord that (surprisingly to some) didn’t win any event up to this point: Morghen the Unliving.

In the remaining three Winter Campaign Events, now Deverenians, Free Kingdoms, Mercenaries and The Chosen have yet to win a hero.

The firestone brazier barely lit the shabby tent, nor could it keep the cold at bay beyond preventing the water from freezing on the chests, table and earthenware. Alaric slouched on his camp stool looking at the symbol of their deity, Kor, hanging on an otherwise empty valet stand just within arm’s reach. Kohn had given it to him, asking him to wear it constantly, to drive his dark thoughts away.

Alaric wasn’t prepared for that, yet. Those images, full of fire and pain, his body flayed open and healed again, the hypnotic eyes of Ter-Soth’s torturers, through all the headaches there was something almost comforting, familiar in them. He didn’t have to think, just to resist. Now, Kohn wanted him to take his father’s place. To lead what was left of his people into a bleak future, to step into ironcloth boots large enough to be Hellbringer’s. It was so much easier to stand valiantly before the enemy and die. In vain, Alaric thought moodily.

Just as a new wave of painful images, full of fiery shadows dancing along molten rock and searing lances began to roll through his head, his scarred hand snaked towards the symbol and grasped it in a steady grip. The dangerous throbbing subsided and instead an image of his father appeared, chiding his brothers when he still was a toddler. „No heir of mine will ever shirk in his duty, he needs be as steadfast as we are as a people. You are sons of Hember and you do your duty even if it means that you perish!“ King Xod thundered. Alaric’s eyes cleared, grew hard and determined. Yes, the Dwarves would have a new king and a future.

Congratulations to Paul Dulaney who took Sigurðdur to the top of a field featuring 14 players at the 4th Winter Campaign stop in Oklahoma City, OK.

With this both the Nothrog and the Dwarf factions have won two heroes each now. Can the other factions win a tournament still?

The 2008/2009 Warlord Winter Campaign continues this coming weekend with events in Medford, Oregon and Padova, Italy.

Congratulation to Chris Vaccaro (USA), who won the Warlord Online World Cup Champion title in a close final against David Skogstad (CAN).

Chris Vaccaro played an unerrata’d Loki while David Skogstad piloted Morghen the Unliving.

Chris Vaccaro wins 25.000 gp (and of course the title), while David Skogstad wins 15.000 gp.
