The folks from Funcom's Age of Conan have been kind enough to provide us with this interesting and entertaining non-exclusive Tortage Island Travel Guide.

When you first start your journey through the lands of Hyboria in Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, you start off as a slave onboard a Stygian galley. The ship is somewhere in the treacherous waters of the Barachan seas, off the coast of Zingara. This is where you create your character’s visual appearance and make the decisions that will help shape your destiny in the years to come. But then, suddenly, the ship sinks.

You wake up on the beaches of Tortage Island. They call it the jewel of the Barachan Isles, but this is certainly a jewel with so many sharp edges that you can hurt yourself easily on it if you are not careful. It sure helps to know your surroundings better, and this guide was created so you know where to go – and what to stay far, far away from!

 

Check out the whole feature here.

Cheers,

The king and the pawn go back to the same box at the end of the day.

My understanding is that North American's  get War Mammoth & Europeans get War Rhino.

I must say to Funcom.They have the guts to make a M Rated game with an interesting combat system and on top of that  they are far from the WoW template.The game looks awesome from the various videos I have seen so far....can`t wait to play this game.

In what way does gameplay not match the graphics?  I assume you are a beta tester?
