Dungeons And Dragons Online: First Look: Release Notes Twilight Forge Module

Samera has posted the first look at the release notes for this weeks Module 2 release:

New Content
Long ago, the Restless Isles were a chain of peaks linked by a labyrinth of tunnels and caverns. This natural fortress was transformed into a war foundry by the ancient lords of Dal Quor in their battle against the giants of Xen'drik. Known as the 'Twilight Forge,' this armory created warforged and other weapons for the cataclysmic war that ultimately ended in defeat for the quori and ruin for the giants.

Thousands of years have passed since then, and the land has been inundated with water from the Thunder Sea. Only the tops of the peaks remain above sea level, but quori-reinforced tunnels continue to link the islands in this mysterious chain. Although the quori have been gone for 40,000 years, their strange architecture survives. So do the wildmen - a race of warped humanoids known nowhere else in Eberron, and presumed to have evolved from servants that the quori left behind.

Visit Baudry Cartamon's Shipping Warehouse, Ghola Fan's Compound, The Shrieking Mines, and The Twilight Forge. Only a powerful party will survive the challenges of the Restless Isles!

New Systems

Stormreach now has mail!

The Couriers of House Orien, masters of transport and delivery, have begun a new effort to make inroads into the wealth held by Xen'drik and Stormreach. To that end, they have placed enchanted delivery devices throughout the city to allow citizens, for a small fee, to transport items quickly over short distances. Send letters! Send items! Send currency! Mailboxes can now be found in all city wards.

This is only a teaser of everything they are introducing in Module 2. Head over and read the full post on the official forums.
