//Warhammer - Land of the Dead

//Beyond the Sands...

In the land of scorching heat and swirling sands, the undead pharaohs await in their trap laden tombs for unsuspecting victims.

I logged on last night and got a taste of the new LoTD zone that was added on Monday. Destruction had access to the zone at the time so I lucked out. First Impression was it looked dazzling. I really like how much effort they put into the design of the place and it's a huge contrast to the other existing zones. I started out trying to cross the river in the middle but ended up drowning because the river was filled with poison. Note to self, avoid the purple river. My Guild started doing the PQ in front of the Largest Pyramid, I ferget what it's called but it looked like "necropolis of STFU" but it's actually SETFU or something. Friggen HUGE skeleton of the undead Pharaoh came out to stomp on us. Apparently the only way to defeat it is if you pull it and fight it on the "glyphs" stones on the floor. Tricky, huh? It didn't help that some Order bursted out of the temple to attack us but we rolled them since there was a huge Zerg of Destruction in LotD, must have been between 500-1000 people in the zone.



So after doing that and being stuck in the Pyramid door for about 15 min, we were inside the Pyramid lair instance. The lairs are filled with booby traps, ala Indiana Jones so you have to figure out how to disable them. There was a hallway filled with swinging sharp axes that you have to run thru and if you get it, it's an insta-death.
All the sudden we got booted from the instance. I don't know why but some people rage-quited the WB due to it.



Anyhoo, so the premise of getting access to the lairs are that you need to have specific glyphs that you earn from doing certain PQ's. You can check your tome of Knowledge for that. There are 2 annoying PQ's that are mobile, so you need to track them down. You can earn 'scarab' currency from drops to trade in for amazing gear. I already got myself a Blue named Chalice and an Egyptian Trophy.



When the opposite faction unlocks the LoTD, you have to get back to your WC asap cuz if you die and release, you will be sent back to your capital city. So you'll need to get back to the WC asap to defend against the invaders.

and..that is my first look at the LotD. More later!
