The Harvest Festival has arrived in Newerth!

The Forest of Caldavar and the Mid Wars battle have seen a darkness fall on th
land...
Rumor has it Kongor was slain, only to rise again as a shambling horror!
Even the sight-granting wards have been stuck with a change
Keeper of the Forest has noticed a new growth in his Roots
Kuldra's Sheepstick now comes with a bite
Music and sounds of the world have been altered
And more!

- New Electrician Avatar: Royal Armor Osiris
* Just as the cycles of nature ebb and flow, Osiris has risen to the peak of his
power and wealth due to the monarchies of Newerth flooding him with gold in an
attempt to ensure life after death through his assimilation rituals. Rather than
hoard this gold, Osiris has adorned himself with its luster to show everyone-ri
ch and poor alike-what is possible when you submit yourself for rebirth through
him.
- New Armadon Avatar: Scarlord
* Even gazing upon the monster known as Scarlord is enough to send chills down o
ne's spine. Emerging from the Scar clutching a gigantic mace larger than most me
n, he storms to the forefront of the Hellbourne troops with only his wicked horn
s protruding from the ominous clouds that roll into his new stomping grounds. Wi
th each violent step, the daemon king sets fire to the environment, taking the s
ouls of the damned with him as he travels, and, in his search for new blood to s
pill, not a blade of grass will be left unscathed.
- New Master of Arms Limited Edition Zodiac Avatar: Libra
* Libra seeks balance and harmony in all things, and it has become evident that
the daemons coursing out of various Hells have tipped the scales of power too fa
r toward the damned. Libra has joined the wars between the righteous and the cur
sed in order to restore harmony, though she is prepared to use harsh negotiation
tactics should her attempts at diplomacy fall short.
- New Gladiator Item Avatar: Riftshards Gladiator
* The warrior known as Riftshards Gladiator began as a combatant so inept he was
relegated by the munera overlords to the task of venturing into closing Rifts t
o harvest the valuable Riftshards left behind. This was nothing short of a death
sentence, but the gladiator found himself growing stronger as he was exposed to
the unholy, razor-sharp remnants. He was soon strong enough to lift and wield t
he preferred gladius and whip, then it felt like nothing to add a Punchdagger to
his sword, which quickly changed to a Broadsword as his body was augmented by t
he invasive Riftshards. When he was fully corrupted by the shards, his body was
forever changed and no mortal warrior could stand before his Riftshard arsenal.

Item Upgrades
* When the player gets Punchdagger, a Punchdagger model is added to the avatar's
sword
* When the player gets Broadsword, the avatar's sword model becomes the Broadswo
rd
* When the player gets Riftshards, shards will begin to sprout from the armor an
d the sword becomes a blade made of glowing Riftshards
* As the player upgrades Riftshards, even more shards will sprout from his body
and armor until he is totally corrupted!
Ability Upgrades
* Pitfall now features Riftshard spikes harvested by Riftshards Gladiator
* Showdown now features a Hellbourne Rift bristling with Riftshards
* Call to Arms now summons the Riftcreatures and Battlecart used by Riftshards G
ladiator to harvest his Riftshards, and the ground erupts with razor-sharp Rifts
hards.
- New URSA Corps Gunblade Avatar: Gunclaw
* Gunclaw tried to do it the legal way. She was deputized in Adkarna and tasked
with keeping the peace in the the overcrowded refugee camps on the fringe of the
city, full of humans and beasts fleeing the front lines of the battle between t
he Legion and Hellbourne. She failed. Crippling hunger and rampant crime infecte
d the camps, and when the simmering rage burst into a full-blown riot the law wo
man knew there was no malice in the violence, only fear. She opened the massive
warehouses and gave the people what they wanted - food to feed their starving ch
ildren and blankets to fight the freezing nights - and almost had the turmoil co
ntained when the Royal Guard arrived. Where she saw fear and desperation, they s
aw threats and revolt. The mounted warriors slaughtered everyone involved with t
he riot while Gunclaw screamed for them to stand down. When the killing was done
, she swore to never again serve a cause more interested in power and control th
an peace and tolerance. And now she knows, in order to make peace, she must firs
t make war.
- New POGs Avatar: Predator
* The POGs avatars are here! These high definition skins will be released one-pe
r-patch and will be available via the store, Plinko, or both, depending upon the
region.
