Frogster previously announced at E3 that it will begin implementing content packages from the upcoming "Chapter II — The Elven Prophecy" expansion in August to give players a taste of what's in store when the full chapter launches in September. Well, Frogster has released new information on the Weeping Coast, a zone which is scheduled to open in August when the level cap raises to 52.

According to a press release, the Weeping Coast will add around 200 new quests to the game. Players will come into contact with fish-like creatures of a species known as "Tiktaalik," as well as trolls and the Naga. Check out the short video that has been added to the official site for a taste of what the swamp area looks like.

More information can be found in the press release after the jump.

Berlin, 25.06.2009: Frogster begins the implementation of the new content for the coming second chapter ‘The Elven Prophecy’ with a new zone for Runes of Magic. The Berlin based publisher is now publishing information about the region to be known as the ‘Weeping Coast’ which corresponds with the upper level limit being raised to 52 and invites adventurers to go exploring.

The swamp landscape with its branching channels lies in the northern part of the up until now known game world of Taborea. While fish-like creatures of a species known as ‘Tiktaalik’ make the marshes themselves unsafe, the temples found on the higher ground are populated by wild clans of trolls. Furthermore this is the first region where players will come across the Naga for the very first time. This saurian people are entwined in ancient secrets which players will slowly unravel as the second chapter progresses.

A village built in a pueblo-style lies at the heart of the zone and serves as a central contact point with merchants and quest givers. Around 200 new tasks in the 'Weeping Coast’ will help adventurers to climb to level 52.

The opening up of the ‘Weeping Coast’ and with it, the start of the multi-stage launch of ‘The Elven Prophecy’ is scheduled for August this year. The climax of the official release will then happen one month later in September.
