Warhammer Lore Update: White Lions

17 Apr 2009 at 16:26:29 by Bill Vaughan

Mythic has posted a feature on the White Lions, a playable career in the hit MMO, Warhammer Online.

Fans can read up on the background of these fearsome characters, skilled High Elf warriors, originating from the land of Chrace:

"The pelt they adorn is taken from a white lion that they defeated on their own, thus proving their strength and skill in combat. In Warhammer, White Lions usually serve as bodyguards for the Phoenix King, but some of them choose a different path by trying to tame lion cubs, eventually fostering them into mighty War Lions."

White Lions can call a War Lion, a creature as large as a horse, into battle with them. When wielding a signature Great Axe and paired with a summoned lion, the White Lion is a sight to behold on the battlefield. The feature includes many quotes from players who chose this career and some concept art (seen below).

Warhammer Online's Patch 1.2.1, which introduced the long awaited Keep Upgrade system, changes to RvR and an improvement to combat responsiveness, also went live yesterday.
