Concept piece for an upcoming new MMO from LoonyGameStudios.
"... it seemed that the gleam in Elkin's eyes were not ones of prosperity but those of doom. The defenses of the last standing kingdom of the Expatriates had been breached and the Heralds of the Defense were all mercilessly slain by the bestial tenacity of their oppressors. The armies were in chaos and it seemed that the great story of the exiles would end at the gates of Aegis when out of the mists of the surrounding mountains a small band of heavily armored half giants approached the kingdom.

Each of them bearing in either hand a shield of such awe and craftsmanship that it seemed more suiting to call them fortified walls. Etched with celestial gems these giants quickly filled the breaches in the walls and with their knowledge of Gem Wieldry and the magic they sprung from them they helped turn the tide of battle and eventually the tide of war..." - From the History of the Exiles: "The Gleam of Tenacity" ( Copyright of Daniel Haddad )
