Beware of Dragons in Broodcall™!

Sony Online Entertainment LLC (SOE) announced today that the eleventh PoxNora™ expansion, Broodcall™, is scheduled for release on August 26, 2009. Broodcall adds 72 new runes, including eight all-new dragon runes.

"Broodcall introduces eight new, faction specific dragons for players to add to their battle groups. And seriously, who doesn't love dragons," said Dan Kopycienski, director of development for SOE Tucson. "As the popularity of PoxNora continues to grow with more players jumping on board every day, it's exciting that we are able to provide new and returning players with fresh and engaging content."

In Broodcall, the peoples of Valdac have fallen victim to a dreadful plague that is killing the land and changing the inhabitants into monstrosities. If that weren't enough, the arrival of the dragons imperils all the lands and threatens to plunge the entire world into a never-ending abyss of fire and ash.
