  5. New Hero: Apex
  6.  
  7. Apex is the physical embodiment of the True Evil, the original corruption that caused such dread among the gods that Sol ripped all mention of it from the original Codex Solaris. Before time had a name, the realms were undivided. The mortal world, the hells, and the heavens were as one, and all things were free to move among the realms. God, man, beast – these words meant nothing. All were equal. This, of course, could not last.
  8.  
  9. When the original sins began to fester and grow the gods wanted nothing to do with the mortal realm, while man and beast still craved the physical. The damned sought their own domain, the All Hells, where they could perfect their cruel ways. And in the depths of those hells, a daemon imp of no consequence sought a means to achieve greater power, and that power whispered to him from the deepest, coldest pit of the underworld.
  10.  
  11. The imp descended below the scorching heat of the known hells into the frozen darkness. Beyond the levels of nightmare. Beneath what even the daemons would not whisper about, where no heat dared exist, for heat means life. And there was no life here.
  12.  
  13. When he found the true source of evil, it appeared as the worst types of evil always do: Harmless. The innocuous shards glowed a deep red, and when they pierced the heart of the imp the True Evil began a transformation, an evolution, that would take millennia of agony to complete.
  14.  
  15. Above, the gods, men, and beasts had their wars and eras. All the while, they denied the instinct that warned them of the growing evil. They invented stories to keep themselves safe from danger. Myths. These could not touch the True Evil that continued to grow.
  16.  
  17. When the True Evil finally stirred and began its ascent to reap the harvest of the other realms, the daemons in the deepest pits of All Hells fled before it. This caused The First Corruption, when the Hellbourne sought to establish a new home bought in blood on the surface of Newerth. But the mortals fought tooth and nail to keep their realm, and with the help of the gods the daemons were banished back to All Hells, where the True Evil waited.
  18.  
  19. Man and beast continued their ebb and flow of war. Peace was sometimes present and always fragile. But below...The War of All Hells raged. Single battles lasted for years.
  20. And steadily, relentlessly, the True Evil rose.
  21.  
  22. The Hellbourne again needed to escape their realm. To do so they required a key, a powerful soul ripe for the taking. And in Maliken Grimm, they found it. The True Evil drove the lesser daemons before it, into the mortal realm for a second time: The Second Corruption.
  23.  
  24. The Legion of man and beast believes it has pushed the Hellbourne to the brink of destruction as they follow the retreating daemons back to The Scar. But the Hellbourne are not retreating – they are coalescing.
  25.  
  26. Gathering.
  27.  
  28. For Apex, the True Evil, has finally reached the surface of Newerth.
  29.  
  30. And The Third Corruption has begun.

  110. + Champions of Newerth (CoN) is an entirely new ranking system aimed to improve HoN's competitive experience in both Normal and Casual Forests of Caldavar.
  111. - Each player will participate in 6 placement matches to determine their initial Rank for Champions of Newerth.
  112. - There will be 6 distinct Ranks: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, Legendary, and Immortal. Select Ranks will be broken down into tiers to further distinguish a player's skills.
  113. - As a player continues to compete, they will move forwards or backwards in ranking based on wins and losses. Keep in mind, all Champions of Newerth games will be played using Counter Pick*
  114. * Games with all Legendary or Immortal players will also include Bans to go along with Counter Pick.
  115. + Seasons and Rewards
  116. - Champions of Newerth will be broken up into seasons ranging from 1 to 3 months long.
  117. - At the end of each season players will be rewarded based on the highest Rank that they achieved that season.
  118. - Rewards will increase with each Rank and will consist of anything from Plinko Tickets to Trophy Avatars.
  119. - Lastly, new seasons will not require placement matches for returning players. They will be placed based off of the previous season's performance.

  129. * Players can make appeals and check the status of your current appeals.
  130. * Players can also easily get in touch with Senior Game Masters by creating new support cases.

  139. New Debut Edition Apex Avatar: Zenith
  140. - Zenith is an unstoppable holy warrior created within the catacombs below the Church of Arasunia, where Sol's most devout worshipers still follow the old invocations, which some would call heresy. These forbidden prayers allowed them to place the blessed jewel from Sol's first altar -- touched by the god himself, they say -- within a suit of armor and bring it to life. It is life without a soul, they will admit, but when Sol's archangel takes the battlefield alongside the reborn Jeraziah and sends countless daemons back to All Hells, the clergy falls reverently silent.
  141.  
  142. New Apex Avatar: Nadir
  143. - The reanimated corpse called Nadir was once a heavy slave laborer for the Electrician, clearing tons of soil and rock to unearth the precious relics and ancient technology that held so much potential. When Nadir accidentally triggered an explosion of weaponized, irradiated plasma during a dig and scattered the contents of his torso across The Great Waste, the Electrician saw an opportunity. The glowing plasma seemed to have a life of its own, and with a bit of hasty wiring and a dash of corruption (fine, more than a dash) he created a relentless monster dead-set on vengeance upon the world that had enslaved and murdered him. Now Nadir seeks to bring about the lowest point in human existence by causing as much despair and suffering as possible. If only the Electrician could control his creation...

  147.  
  148. New Christmas Holiday Chronos Avatar: Christmas Chronos
  149. - Some say giving is better than receiving, and Christmas Chronos agrees – as long as we're talking about holiday smackdowns and not gifts. Opening her lovely presents is the best part of the holiday season, which is why she constantly rewinds so she can re-wrap, re-open, and re-irritate everyone else gathered within the Christmas Chronofield.
  150.  
  151. New Christmas Holiday Demented Shaman Avatar: Winter Shaman
  152. - Many consider the harsh and bitter winters of Newerth to be a vex, even a threat, yet the deep cold is also healing, cleansing, and protective. The Winter Shaman carries this cold with her, using her mystical powers to purify Newerth of blight, pests, and sometimes, when the dire need arises, those who live by the blistering heat of corruption.
  153.  
  154. New Christmas Holiday Soulstealer Avatar: Xmas Spirit Hades
  155. - Hades spent centuries searching his vast Underworld for this "Christmas Spirit" he'd heard so much about, and his frustration grew with every passing moment the wraith eluded him. How could the very God of the Underworld not locate this entity, even with the help of Cerberus? Had it escaped his eternal realm? Did his haughty brothers lay claim to it? Unacceptable. To set things right, Hades has garnished himself in a god's amount of holly jolliness and begun his tireless search of Newerth's mortal realm to find and capture the Christmas Spirit and return it to the Underworld, where it belongs.
  156.  
  157. New Christmas Holiday Flint Beastwood Avatar: Flint Who Stole Xmas
  158. - It's not enough for Flint to spoil the festive season by looting all the presents and treats on Christmas morning – he also wants to steal the holiday cheer from the hearts of everyone in Newerth, just to make sure no one gets anything for free. So he's suited up in the hide of a reindeer and adorned his infamous guns to create Christmas spirits as fast as he can reload. However, there is one holiday maxim Flint agrees with: It is much better to give than to receive, but only when the gift is a hollowpoint at 2,500 feet per second.
  159.  
  160. New Christmas Holiday Wards
  161. - Christmas Monster
  162. * Santa may see you when you're sleeping, but this giant-eyed Christmas Monster sees EVERYTHING!
  163. - Snowman
  164. * Brrr, it's freezing out there! Let the Snowman ward stay out in the cold to spread the Christmas cheer (and ganks).
  165.  
  166. New Christmas Holiday Courier
  167. - Flying Reindeer
  168. * This dashing reindeer courier guarantees to deliver your holiday goodies on time!
  169.  
  170. New Christmas Holiday Taunt
  171. - Bad Present
  172. * It's exactly what your adversaries deserve this year: a big box of mockery!
  173.  
  174.  
  175. = Heavy Armor Set =
  176.  
  177. As the Third Corruption boils to the surface of Newerth, it is becoming lethally obvious that the current state of weapons and armor – even the highly advanced Ascension kits – are not sufficient. The Legion must fortify itself with armor strong enough to withstand this new breed of chaotic and crushing daemonic shock troops, and to do so the Engineers and Blacksmiths will have to rely on ancient methods and skills nearly forgotten in this modern age. The result will be armor nearly too thick to bear, but it will let the front ranks stand firm against the relentless impacts of the Hellbourne heavies lumbering out of The Scar.
  178.  
  179. New Heavy Armor Dampeer Avatar: Kannibal
  180. - The daemon named Kannibal spent his mortal life as a connoisseur of human flesh, sampling every race, religion, and age across Newerth before a Death's Cradle shaman managed to utter a curse before Kannibal ate his tongue. The curse resulted in violent food poisoning and death, and when Kannibal found himself among the damned and daemons he discovered a taste for them as well. He protected himself from their weapons, teeth and claws with massive slabs of armor and, while burdensome, these allowed him to enjoy his meals in relative safety as the dishes thrashed and fought. With the Third Corruption Kannibal was once again unleashed upon mankind, and he found a new, cruel pleasure in transforming from daemon to human and back again based on his chosen delicacy to ensure he retained the hideous name he had earned.
  181.  
  182. New Heavy Armor Rampage Avatar: Gory Vanguard
  183. - To counter the bloody Daemon Dragoons storming from the Scar, the Engineers and Blacksmiths of the Legion have forged the elite Gory Vanguard, heavily armed and armored cataphracts mounted upon the sturdiest – and surliest – warthogs that could be somewhat tamed from the Savannahs. When these mounted troops clash, the impact can be felt across the entire battlefield, which is soon decorated with the scattered gore and body parts of any Dragoon unlucky enough to be snared by a Vanguard hammer and chain.
  184.  
  185. New Heavy Armor Set Effect
  186. - If you own all of the avatars in the Heavy Armor Set, each avatar will gain an armored eagle effect on its back. The eagle's color and effects will vary based on the avatar
  187. - Avatars in the Heavy Armor Set:
  188. * Blood Fiend - Heavy Armor Blood Hunter
  189. * Daemon Dragoon - Heavy Armor Emerald Warden
  190. * Dreadmace - Heavy Armor Armadon
  191. * Gory Vanguard - Heavy Armor Rampage
  192. * Kannibal - Heavy Armor Dampeer

  199. New Myrmidon Avatar: Mephisto
  200. - Mephisto is perhaps one of the most insidious daemons and servants of Lucifer, for he does not bother to target those who are still pure of spirit--he chooses to harvest his souls after they have already been corrupted, and upon the battlefield of Newerth it is only a matter of time before every soul has some eternal blemish upon which Mephisto will latch.
  201.  
  202. New Nomad Avatar: Bloodstorm
  203. - Once a devout servant and elite warrior of the Church of Arasunia, the missionary now known as Bloodstorm was sent into The Great Waste to convert the pagan nomadic tribes to the word of the one true god -- or else. His unspeakable crimes against those people sent him to All Hells when he was finally killed by Sand Wraiths (it seems even Sol cannot protect those who commit sins in His name), and while imprisoned in those depths he was pulled into pieces, one grain of flesh at a time, for what seemed an eternity. Now that Apex has brought about the Third Corruption and swept every damned creature within All Hells to the surface, Bloodstorm is once again free to convert the lost souls of Newerth. He has a new religion, however, called Suffering, and his victims all kneel to it when the particles of his damned flesh and blood fill their eyes and lungs.
  204.  
  205. New Monkey King Avatar: Six Eared Macaque
  206. - The wily Six Eared Macaque – also known as the false Sun Wukong – has made a living posing as the legendary Monkey King and committing shameful acts of theft and assault. Not even Ophelia can tell the difference between the two, for the Six Eared Macaque's strength and abilities are equal to the Monkey King's, and when these two spiritual primates face each other the battle always results in a draw (and massive collateral damage). During one of these epic and confusing brawls, Ophelia realized that only the true Monkey King would have her golden mark seared into his forehead. The Queen of the Beast Horde uttered a spell to make the seal burn, and when the real Monkey King winced in pain, she commanded her warriors to attack the impostor. The Six Eared Macaque escaped – barely – and his panicked flight continues across Newerth, leaving havoc in its wake.
  207.  
  208. New Zephyr Avatar: Firestorm
  209. - Nature is in a continuous state of ebb and flow, but one constant is the presence of the Sentinels, warriors of Gaia powered by the earth and tasked with protecting the defenseless ecosystems of Newerth. They were once overwhelmed by the advancement and ambition of mankind, but as the planet seeks a new equilibrium in the chaos of war, the Sentinels emerge once again to stand between Nature and destruction.
  210. The Searing Owls who roost within the simmering volcano Krula are notoriously territorial and unfortunately few in number, but the eldest among them carries the honor of serving Gaia as the Flame Sentinel, guardian of the burning blood that spills from deep within Newerth to form new terra firma. The lava was once its own guardian, but since man, beast and daemon have developed magic and technology to protect themselves from the blistering heat and now manipulate the lava to fit their own purposes, the Flame Sentinel must be more vigilant and aggressive than ever.

  2235.  
  2236. Map Changes
  2237.  
  2238. The Forests of Caldavar map has been revamped!
  2239. - In general, more juke spots and Ward spots have been added to the map due to extensive revamping.
  2240.  
  2241. Legion Base
  2242. - Area of the base is larger.
  2243. - Now has less number of filler buildings (Shrines & Huts).
  2244. - Lanes are now further apart.
  2245. - World Tree has been moved further back.
  2246.  
  2247. These changes were made to make the overall building and lane placement more fair when comparing the Legion Base and the Hellbourne Base, while still being unique and different enough for the players.
  2248.  
  2249. ______________________________________________________________________
  2250.  
  2251. Legion Jungle
  2252. - Now has more paths so that players have more options to navigate through the Legion Jungle.
  2253. - The bottom-right area of the Legion Jungle is more open to allow for more engagements without vision loss occurring.
  2254.  
  2255. ______________________________________________________________________
  2256.  
  2257. Towers
  2258. - The Tier 1 & Tier 2 Hellbourne Towers are now further apart in the top & bottom lane.
  2259. - Minor adjustments have been made to the other Tier 1 & Tier 2 Tower positions.
  2260.  
  2261. Previously, the Tier 1 & Tier 2 Hellbourne Towers were much closer together than the Tier 1 & Tier 2 Legion Towers. These changes were made to balance out the map advantages that Hellbourne had over Legion.
  2262.  
  2263. ______________________________________________________________________
  2264.  
  2265. Middle Lane
  2266. - Tree area above the middle Hellbourne Tier 1 Tower changed to encompass more juke spots & gank routes.
  2267. - Middle Hellbourne Tier 1 Tower shifted upwards to be closer to the tree line.
  2268.  
  2269. Previously, the placement of the middle Hellbourne Tier 1 tower & the lack of pathing through the tree area above it prevented players from ganking Hellbourne's middle lane effectively with that route. Now, the vision of that area is more limited, and ganking Hellbourne middle lane will be more similar compared to ganking Legion middle lane, equalizing the positional power of Hellbourne's middle Tier 1 Tower compared to Legion's middle Tier 1 Tower.
  2270.  
  2271. ______________________________________________________________________
  2272.  
  2273. Ward Spots

  2278.

  2308. *Earthoc: 400 -> 450
  2309. *Goatar: 550 -> 500
  2310. *Vagabond: 600 -> 550
