Valentine's Day[ | ]

Prince Charming and his Love Lackeys are here to make all of Newerth swoon with passion! No one will be able to resist his powerful arsenal of diamonds, adorable stuffed animals, and lovely balloons that are sure to make even the hardest hearts get carried away with the holiday of romance and love. Take care with your tender emotions, though, for Prince Charming may just be setting you up for the special kind of heartbreak that comes along with that other four-letter L word: LOSE.
Nothing upsets The Master of Hearts more than a lonely heart on the most romantic of all holidays, and the battlefields of Newerth are chock-full of them! She's made it her mission to spread pure, unconditional love to each and every hero this year, and she's fully equipped to do just that with enough left over for those adorable little Creeps. It's best to stay on her good side though, because if you resist her Valentine's Day overtures she's likely to label you as a lost cause and melt your black heart with a well-placed box of acid-filled chocolates. Kisses!

There's nothing quite like the soothing aroma of fresh, buttery popcorn before a skirmish, and Popcorn Pearl's goal is to provide her friends with a constant supply of hot, fluffy kernels to keep their spirits and health as high as possible. But this master popper has a prickly side too, and her delicious treats can quickly become weapons of asphyxiation should anyone try to harm Popcorn Pearl and her friends. And if any sneaky snackers even THINK about grabbing her buttered treats, they'll find she has a powerful arsenal to keep this popcorn well-preserved!

General[ | ]

Many warriors of Newerth posses a duality -- peaceful on the homefront yet savage on the battlefield -- but none come close to the dichotomy that is Yin and Yang. By day she is a merciful, honorable warrior who conducts herself by a strict code of justice with the lofty goal of putting an end to war and suffering in Newerth. When the sun sets, however, she becomes a ruthless killer with no regard for who she leaves in her wake as she slashes through Man, Beast, and Daemon on her path toward ridding the land of any hostile being. The irony is that although these two halves of the same woman operate with vastly different methods, should they succeed in their goals, the result will be the same.
