Return of Reckoning ~ Custom Capes Pt. 2

Back in February I had just posted some of the custom capes designed for special events/purposes in Warhammer Online: Return of Reckoning. These capes were made with care and dedication by my friend archexecutor, who likewise did all of the custom concept art on this blog. While we still do not have the tools to retexture armor, we are making small steps – and small discoveries – that hopefully will allow us to do so in the future. Below are more custom capes.

Warhammer Online Dwarf/Greenskin Cities

After nearly two and a half years of work, I am proud to have finished building two missing cities for Warhammer Online, and being part of bringing a dream to life. I am thankful to everyone who helped me work in Karaz-a-Karak and Karak Eight Peaks. Happy 13th Birthday Warhammer Online.

Dwarfen Holds

Glorious Karaz Ankor, how grand and vast you once were, and how your glory has faded under the grinding assault of your hated foes. The dwarfen realm of Karaz Ankor stretched along the World’s Edge Mountains initially; however, due to intense pressure and losses incurred at the hands of the greenskins and skaven, the dwarfs migrated further west seeking a new start. Many of the ancient holds that were founded by the first ancestors have fallen after thousands of years of prosperity. Alas, as the winds gradually wear down the mountains, so too is time wearing down the dwarfen realm. Below is the map etched into the heart of the High King, a map of holds fallen and lost, and those that still fight on. Yet, this map is not even complete, for there are other holds both fallen and standing that exist beyond the edges of this map.

Dwarfen Holds ~ Karaz-a-Karak

“The Everpeak will never fall so long as a single dwarf draws breath within its ancient halls. Woe unto any foe who dares challenge this hold, for it is said that in its hour of need the Ancestor Gods will return to protect the hold that was most dear to their heart. Not only shall Karaz Ankor never fall so long as Karaz-a-Karak stands, but it shall rise again.”

~ Thorgund Ulleksson, Thane of the Ulleksson Clan of Karaz-a-Karak

Karaz-a-Karak may not be the oldest dwarfen hold founded by the Ancestor Gods, but it was elevated to the status of first among equals on the eve of their departure. It bears the greatest link to the Ancestor Gods, the Throne of Power, from which the High King not only rules, but also recites his litany of grudges from the Dammaz Kron. It is atop this throne that Thorgrim Grudgebearer has declared the Age of Reckoning, a time for Karaz Ankor to march forth and avenge the grudges of the past.
