One of the most enjoyable aspects of role-playing games is the chance you get to define your character in a variety of ways. While everyone starts out more or less the same, hours of combat and adventure will shape who you are and determine what you can do. In the end you will have a character that simply feels like he or she is yours.Check it out!
The infamous dwelling of the Black Ring is buried deep beneath an ominous mountain that looms behind Kheshatta, city of magicians. This coven of the darkest sorcerers in all Stygia is led by the all-powerful Thoth-Amon, earth's mightiest practitioner of black magic. Within its torch lit halls foul sorcerers perform hellish conjuration's, vile experiments, and consort with fiends from the abyss.
From what layer of Tartarus this monstrous angel of war was dragged is lost now, for the thing has slaughtered those responsible for conjuring it. Not only did it slay their mortal forms but it dragged out their eternal souls and ravenously ate them, feasting on them while tearing their victims bodies apart and grinding them to bloody pulp.

Every week we give you an update on Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures by posting our special Friday Update on the community website. Here are some of the Friday updates we've published recently:
Take a look at this month's screenshots. We've added four screenshots from the high level dungeon Black Ring Citadel. Stepping into this darkness holds greater dangers than just placing your feet in the wrong places. If you're not careful your feet will most likely be torn off by animated golem statues!
This month we're featuring a video showing you the Black Ring Citadel. Tackling the dangers of this dungeon is a difficult challenge, one that should be faced in a raid group of twenty-four of your fellow adventurers. And it should only be attempted by those who have seen many, many seasons! And even then your chances may be slim.
This month we bring you wallpaper themed according to this newsletters' primary focus: the Black Ring Citadel. The wallpaper comes in four different sizes.
