Read this and check the art ...  Imo they have a really interesting lore. :)

I am already looking forward to travel to Rimfrost.

Nice MO does have really good lore.  Hope they implant it well in the world and don't just leave it hanging like shadowbane did.

Wish they would update the races though.

Yeah. Lore is important to add depth to the game. Lets hope they are able to add enough lore at release. Because it seams to be awesome.
