The Onslaught update introduces a new game area based on Robert E. Howards’s Black Colossus (1933), one of the original short stories featuring Conan the Barbarian. You will be facing a new threat, as the ancient wizard Thugra Khotan has awoken after thousands of years and is seeking to fulfill his ambition of world domination. Waves of ferocious armies will charge at you on the steps of the great Ivory Dome of Kutchemes. The dome itself is said to contain unimaginable riches, but also a slumbering dread god.
