Frogster Announces Official 'Chapter V' Launch Date; Provides Details on New
Zones and Instances in 'Runes of Magic'
With Fires of Shadowforge, the fifth chapter of the successful MMORPG Runes of
Magic, set to release on June 12, a new race will be introduced to the world of
Taborea. The Shadowforge Dwarves, with their homeland in the Kingdom of Taffrock,
will begin their adventure in the new starting area, the Yrvandis Hollows. Here
players will find the beginner instance, the Outskirts of Taffrock, particularly
challenging.
The new starting area "Yrvandis Hollows"
Taffrock, the subterranean kingdom of the Dwarves, was created long before the
Great Banishment and the historic battle between the demons and the peoples of
Taborea. However, through a failed experiment, the Dwarves fell in to a
prolonged slumber and slipped away into oblivion. Yet, when the royal scouts
discovered them, they were awakened to new life, and the grandeur of their once
forgotten kingdom unfolded once again. The magnitude of their architecture pays
tribute to their ingenuity and craftsmanship, and allows Dwarves to explore five
main zones: the central Administration District, the Crafting District in the
east, the Arena Quarter in the north, the Trade Quarter in the west, and the
Mining District in the south.
In the Outskirts of Taffrock, players find the entrance to the new beginner
instance, where they face off against the final boss, Dark Gargoylem. He and his
horde of aggressive spirits have entrenched themselves in the lower levels of
the old Dwarven halls, and will be the first challenge that players of the new
Dwarven race will pit themselves against.
