The sound of the sea, softly lapping at the shore... an accordion... bottles clanging together and rough, deep voices singing. In the background a breeze blowing through the rigging and sails of the ship.

"Yo ho ho! And a pirate's life for me!"

This is Ravenfell on the western coast of Taborea where pirates set up camp on the beach under picturesque palm-trees with the occasional old ruin as backdrop.

To give you a first impression of what's coming soon to Runes of Magic, we have prepared this little teaser video.

High-Level explorers will have the opportunity to make their way to Ravenfell - for a little dip into the water or a rough brawl with one of the pirates - soon after our release on Thursday, 19 March 2009, Runes of Magic's big day!
