Public Quest Boss: Vampire Lord Neborhest

EA Mythic has just released information on one of their public quest boss fights. This one is located in the Marshes of Madness. It is a public quest for the Order players, and you get to fight a vampire.

Order players will find the Vampire Lord Neborhest's tower amidst Mourkain ruins in the Marshes of Madness. Inside they will face many enemies including the long-dead, infamous Orc Warlord, Dork Redeye, risen again as an undead construct, and, of course, the Vampire Lord himself.

Lord Neborhest slammed shut the tome inked with blood and bound in bone. A cloud of dust rose around him. He contorted his wrinkled features into a grin full of ironic revelation and uttered, "With the ending of one civilization comes the beginning of another."

With that, the Vampire Lord carefully placed an Orc skull at the center of a large glyph transcribed on the stone floor of his tower. This was the final element necessary in the necromantic conjuring. After a deliberate wave of his aged hand, a mass of bones and ethereal energy began to swirl. Satisfied, he continued. "And with the turn of every apocalypse this world suffers, I live on, forever learning, forever growing my power. This age shall be no different!"

The necromantic bulk roared to life taking form as a massive undead construct. It was Dork Redeye, the long passed Orc Warlord, infamous for the destruction of the ancient Mourkain Empire. The resurrected beast snarled, awaiting his master's bidding.

Neborhest is of the Necrarchs, a nosferatu bloodline bent on growing their power through the incessant gathering of knowledge of the dark arts. The resting place of the Mourkain Empire, the Marshes of Madness as they have come to be known, has been his place of study for centuries now. And in this time the Vampire Lord has uncovered, and mastered, a wealth of the necromantic secrets of the long past civilization.

In all this time Neborhest's marshes were largely undisturbed. That was until the recent arrival of Thorgrim's Oathbearers. The elite Dwarf regiment braved the twisted marshes on an expedition vital to the arduous campaign to retake Eight Peaks.

The reclusive vampire peered out his narrow window. Through the tainted fog he saw the Dwarfs marching toward his tower. The ancient vampire cackled, amused by the mountain dwellers' fervor. "Such resolve, such determination. It is clear they know not the power they come to face. The era of the Dwarf shall soon pass. Their intrusion into my marsh hastens this inevitability."

Unmoved by the assailants' approach, Nebhorhest retired to his coffin, addressing his new pet in passing. "Rouse me if any live past the tower's defenses."

The undead Orc Warlord, Redeye, roared in anticipation.

WAR has scurry vampires.

'least there's no word of scurry manbearpigs yet...

The manbearpigs migrated to the north pole and are now the number one cause of global warming. So we don't have to worry about them.

However vampires will intimidate you by turning into tiny bats and flap around in your hair.

that doesn't look like no vampire! looks like skull on a monday morning (better be careful what you post on mondays :p).

zomg, this just in from the WAR website!

A new Public Quest has been announced for the Order in the realm of High Pass.

The Order of the Griffon, whose courageous soldiers are racing against time to save the Empire from a dire fate, march to High Pass. It has become all too clear to Emperor Karl Franz that the terrible global warming sweeping through his lands and the recent invasion of the northern warhost are all part of a larger plan. After the architects of the insidious plot are unmasked and the full scope of the enemy's scheme is revealed, it is clear that desperate measures must be taken to stop it. Now the Emperor's finest soldiers and Wizards find themselves far from home and trying to survive in the most hostile environment imaginable. They must find the strength to persevere, for the fate of the Old World may be in their hands.

"Fellow *snort* *rawr*, now is the time that *snort* *snort* *rawr* conquer! Our plan is *snort*, and the Emporer's *rawr* *snort* *rawr* stop us. Soon they *rawr* fall *snort* *rawr* our unbelievable might!"

The assembled manbearpigs below rawred, snorted, and cheered at their leader's proclomation. Their plan to engineer global warming was working, and their stranglehold on oil in the frozen wasteland was all but complete. Edward Snortrawr McRawr IV had used a cunning mix of pollutants to destroy the ozone: he held mass releasings of spraypaint, made all the manbearpigs drive to the convenient store around the corner for cigarettes and fast food, and left all the lights on in his palace... even at night.

There was only one who could stand against him... Al Gore.

As the Empire's only hope, you must fight alongside Al Gore in a coordinated 3-prong approach: Some must create grass-roots groups to distribute fliers and use his internets in order to spread the word as to the causes of global warming. Higher level players must use their clout to influence celebrities and get right-wing nay-sayers to believe in science. The third, and perhaps most important front, will be dismembering manbearpigs and beating them with their own limbs. It is the only way to truly kill them. Then you must pee on them.

I dunno I am just not afraid of a guy named Dork... be he an undead orc warlord or not.

Dork means penis. You aren't afraid of a 7 foot tall undead green heavily armored and armed penis? You sir, are the bravest man I've ever met.

Only 7 feet tall? He'll be too embarrassed to show himself when I come around.

LOL

No not rly, just stab it a few times, once enough blood goes out(or if it sees Chi) it will go flacid.

On a semi-but-not-really related note: Do vampires hate silver bullets or is that only werewolves?

Sarande:

That's scarier than the Vampire Lord. D:

I'm pretty sure that silver is only bad for werewolves.

Silver is not very nice to something like 75% of the supernatural community, like werewolves, vampires (silver stakes are better than wooden ones), and so on. Whereas cold iron is the stuff to use on fairies...

I prefer to use lewd behavior...it seems to work well.
