A change has come over Dark Astoria. Twisted, organic structures rise from the earth. The moon hangs red in the sky. The fog lifts, revealing the emerging horrors of the city in crystal clarity for the first time in years. For the dark god Mot, imprisoned in ages past, is now free of the bindings that sealed his power! The streets crawl with Mot's minions, eager and slavering as the dark god attempts to devour all life on Primal Earth! The call goes out for Heroes and Villains alike to put an end to Mot's designs (or turn them to your own ends!), using the awesome powers tapped from the Well of the Furies!

Issue 22: Death Incarnate is now on VIP Beta! Play, test, and leave feedback for new features and content in this upcoming Issue! Explore a completely revamped Dark Astoria, now a co-op zone for Heroes and Villains! Fight against the Banished Pantheon, the Tsoo, Talons of Vengeance, Circle of Thorns, the new Knives of Vengeance, and more! Experience new Incarnate missions, including the long-awaited Solo Incarnate Path!

Issue 22: Death Incarnate includes two new Trials: Shivans in Bloody Bay collide with the recently-arrived Shivans that destroyed Galaxy City, in the "Drowning in Blood" Trial for low level characters; meanwhile, Diabolique schemes to steal Mot's powers for herself in the "Dilemma Diabolique" Incarnate Trial! Death Incarnate also brings new mid-level storyarcs to Steel Canyon and Cap au Diable.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg! Check out tweaks made to Power Sets and Archetypes to make them more effective! Death Incarnate brings numerous updates and fixes to Supergroup bases, Enhancements, the Team-Up Teleporter, Mission Architect, and general Missions.
