The Battle of Order and Chaos Escalates
The Chaos Overlord Zelos, once most trusted of those serving the Tribunal, has betrayed the order and forsaken his oath. He and other traitors have pressed their influence in Norrath and are disrupting the delicate balance so desperately sought by the Oathbound.

Forsworn, the first expansion for Legends of Norrath, includes 235 new cards and over 40 new loot cards providing dozens of new strategies to unleash upon your opponents. This competitive and strategic addition to LoN brings new depth of game play, features, spells, units, legends, races, and loot to the game. New features marked by this set include:

The Forsworn:
Former champions of the Order of the Seventh Hammer, these loathsome individuals have forsaken their oaths. Marked by the torn remnants of the masks they once wore, these traitors have taken on the cause of growing the influence of Chaos in Norrath. The Necromancer Zelos is among the most fearsome of these Chaos Overlords.

2-on-2 Multiplayer:
Team up with a friend and take on other teams in this new multi-player format.

Multiplayer Raid Encounters:
Raid encounters are special cooperative scenarios where multiple players can attempt to take down powerful AI decks. By completing all the single player content, players can also earn the right to take the role of these powerful foes while teams of LoN players execute raids against them.

New Single-Player Scenarios:
Ten new single-player scenarios continue the story of your Oathbound hero as she reveals more of the plans of the nefarious forces that oppose the Seventh Hammer and the Tribunal. This feature provides hours of entertainment while also introducing new gameplay features and deck building strategies.

New Avatar Races:
