Elder Barrow Gate
Introducing the Elder Barrow Gate. Once known as just the 'Elder Gate' when it was a thriving merchant destination between the lowlands and the mountains. It was a hotly contested location during the War, with so many Warlings lost that the barrows were constructed. It is said that spirits from that time still haunt the land, and the undead roam the night.
Alrighty friends! I started reading Lord of the Rings again, so enjoy a location inspired by the Barrow Downs ;) but really, I've been having a blast working on some super cool new areas and mechanics as well as continuing to work on the City Siege to come :D I know it'll be a busy next few weeks but I'm hoping to get out a few updates before the holidays! Also, the arena is broken right now, I'm fixing it up as we speak and will have it up in just a couple days hopefully :)
***MAC BUILD IS USUALLY A DAY LATE, MESSAGE ME IF IT'S LATER THAN THAT***

Also! I know I say this every time
But really, TRULY, seriously! if you DO enjoy Warcube in the slightest, go leave a positive review for it on the store page, it would really mean a ton to me :) I read every single one! And they make SUCH a huge difference to how much visibility Warcube get's on Steam :D
