What's New in 4.7?

A new saga begins in the world of Balor! With the forces of the wild becoming more increasingly dominated by the Shadow aligned Wulven faction, a desperate attempt is made to tilt the scales of nature back in favor of humanity. Mystics from Templar and Twilight persuasions collaborate on an intense ritual to infuse the souls of departed humans into the ferocious bodies of Balor's many jungle cats. Warnings from the Keeper of the Mystic Flames ignored, the ritual is successful - creating the first Feline Humanoid champions of Humanity on Balor! However, the energy releases cracked open the ancient egg-caverns of the Sandwings - a terrible tribe of dragons thought to be long-extinct.

Will you defend humanity against its many foes, and fend off this scaly menace? Or will you take flight with the Sandwing Broodmother and punish Humanity for dabbling with powers they have no right to command?
