Age of Conan: Hyborian Stories Part 1

Hyborian Stories, official Funcom Beta Journal : read it here: the new screenies and read the little text.

 

His Majesty King Conan

The Royal Palace

Tarantia, Aquilonia

Crische Darcertor

The Thirsty Dog Inn

Tortage, Barachan Isles

My King,

Our quest has failed. All the men are dead.

There was a storm. There were cries, screams, and death rattles. Men drowned before they even hit the water. Waves as big as mountains crashed into our galley. Then it all went dark – I succumbed to the ocean, and I fell into the black, bottomless abyss.

I thought all was lost, but Crom must have wanted me to suffer more. Or maybe it was Mitra giving me another chance? All I know is that I woke up with sand in my eyes.

We must have foundered somewhere among the Barachan Isles. There are treacherous waters here, but most of the ships and their crew that meet their doom here do so at the sword-point of the local pirates – not by the rage of storms. Nevertheless, I waited on the beach until nightfall before I made my way through the jungle towards civilization......

    Very nice. Looks like things are coming along nicely.

    Out of every 100 men, 10 should not be there,
    80 are nothing but targets, 9 are the real fighters.
    Ah, but one, ONE of them is a warrior,
    and he will bring the others home.

    And is this the first picture of the inside of an inn? http://www.gamestar.de/imgserver/bdb...5FE983ABBD.jpg


    That would be the Thirsty Dog Inn on Tortage Island. You'll see a lot of that place during your first hours of playing the game!



    As for the placement of this article -- GameStar.de is one of the biggest gaming sites in Germany, a very important market for us, so it made sense to cooperate with them. We're also rolling out stuff with other sites -- both in Europe and the US.

    i like the lighting in the tavern, I think thats a dog or cat by the fire place lol
