Thursday July 8th (2pm UK time) – The five mighty dragons of Dragon Empires, the forthcoming player-driven fantasy MMORPG epic for PC, are not the only inhabitants whose past and destiny will form an integral part of Fortitude, the game’s world.

Two young women, both intrinsically linked to the empire dragons, will be influential forces within Fortitude: they are the mysterious and enchanting Kite and Mooneye, known collectively as the Twins.

Dragon Empires’ lore tells that the Twins are of the bloodline of Fortitude’s original human founders. Separated shortly after their birth following a bungled raid by hired outlaws, they were discovered and raised separately; Kite became a strong survivalist and excelled in combat, while Mooneye evolved a natural mastery of magic

As they neared adulthood, both Kite and Mooneye were summoned separately by Fin Greenwater and Quill Redwing, the bird and fish dragons, who revealed their true relationship and divulged their powers, including a psychic link between each other, which is mediated by the two dragons.

When Dragon Empires goes live, Kite and Mooneye will present a potent force on Fortitude as they strive towards their greater goal, but only the dragons know truly what this may be. Select players will meet and receive high-level quests from them in the game, which may unravel their ultimate destiny…

Dragon Empires live testing is now in its second preliminary phase, with the full Beta Test programme commencing shortly. To discover more about the Twins and sign up for the Beta Test, go to: http://www.codemasters.co.uk/dragonempires. You can find four screens of the twins here.
