The new areas are part of the game’s first free content expansion, which the company will releases as chapters - these chapters contain new quests, items, storylines and encounters.

The territory lies to the west and is surrounded by a vast rainforest which serves as the home of the Elves, who have created a settlement in the tree tops. The Naga have also established themselves in several small supply outposts from where they plan and execute their attacks on the Elves.

Other highlights of the region include Aotulia Volcano in the far northwest of the continent and the Elven Island, which is located far to the east off the coast of Taborea. That island serves as a place for education of the young Elves.

Runes of Magic elven classes detailed

With the upcoming release of the second chapter of Runes of Magic, The Elven Prophecy, the Elves will be playable race in the MMO world of Taborea. Today Frogster announced two new Elf classes, the Warden and Druid, which will be playable when the new content goes live.

Both classes are defined by their close connection with nature, which has a direct influence on the Elves’ special abilities. Wardens have the ability to call upon the power of nature spirits and can connect with woodland plants which strengthen them with the power of the forest. This enables the class to utilize a companion of plant origin which supports the Warden.

The Druid’s abilities are similar to those of a Mage, but they are not restricted to just destructive magical powers. A particularly unique strength they have is the ability to harness Nature’s Power. The Druid collects power in his body during combat and this then brings about special effects which cause many abilities to be strengthened. Furthermore, Druids have versatile healing, support and combat a magic as well as the ability to manipulate various elements.

Both Elf classes have numerous skills which define them. For example, the Warden can cast thorny vines around opponents, which deliver physical damage each second. The Druid in a group situation can raise the speed of attack for group members for a given period of time.
