Illyriad has been updated with a new content expansion called The Broken Lands. The patch brings a new zone, new quest hubs, new terrain styles, resources, factions and NPCs into the game.
Land expansion - A new, dangerous continent -- The Broken Lands -- has been added to the southern half of the world map. Players can make their way there in several ways. The distance across the ocean makes trans-continental trade more difficult, and this will increase trade times. We hope that this will increase the value of certain materials that might be more common in either landmass. Because it is early, the southern land is not nearly as populated, but over the course of weeks or months its population will rise.New factions - New factions are slowly being added to The Broken Lands. These factions might be friendly or aggressive to players and can even effect how much a player pays for goods.New Faction Hubs - Hubs are locations that players will trade through; think of them as shopping malls. A player can safely store goods in a hub and can assign a trader to sell goods through that faction.
