“Yes, I am Sorscha, last of the true Medusans. It was I that arranged your first death, and so too shall I orchestrate your second and final one. This time, face to face.”

His hands - one a brutal, metal claw - were held before him, clenched tight around a twisted brass rod, its head crowned with a slowly revolving cluster of eyes, each one dripping tears of blood into the mystical sigils inscribed in the stone at the monster’s feet.

From the crowd, a silver robed elf slowly strode, his head held low in deference as he offered up a chalice, almost bubbling over with crimson liquid. The monster stooped to allow it to be poured into his mouth, greedily slurping it down. With a roar, he reared up to his full height again, screaming to the heavens and sweeping his arms wide.

Münster, Germany February 15th

PHOENIX Interactive (PI) is excited to announce that the continuous development of the Warlord Universe will be in the hands of Christine Schneider, finalist in Paizo.com’s RPG Superstar competition.

„I have been following the competition from the start and Christine was a stand-out by round 2 already“, claims Arne Reuter, president of PI. „Apart from the obvious fact that she also is from Germany I liked the brilliant over-the-top yet playable ideas and her consistent writing“.

The Warlord CCG bears close ties with the world’s most successful roleplaying game, Dungeons & Dragons® , published by Wizards of the Coast. Its own fantastic background has successfully seen print in the Warlords of the Accordlands RPG books.

„Christine is the perfect author to write the next chapter about the dark, gritty, and war-torn Accordlands.“ adds Reuter „I am convinced she’ll add the right twist to keep our great fanbase on their toes and interest new players in our 7-year-running d20 card game. She is our link to the D&D® fanbase to bring Warlord home as the game you already know how to play.“

The 4th Edition of the Warlord: Saga of the Storm Customizable Card Game will be published on July 31st. The Voting for Paizo Publishing’s RPG Superstar competition will be concluded by February 19th, 2008.
