Dragonshard Previews

A couple of new previews for Atari and Liquid Entertainment's Dragonshard surfaced on the web just in time for the game's release. The first is at Gameplanet:
DragonShard takes place at time when the world of Eberron is in chaos. Three forces are vying for control of a massive dragonshard, known as the Heart of Siberys. The ancient artifact has come to rest in a mystical part of Eberron known as Xen'drik; once home to ancient and powerful civilisations, it is now a place of mystery and monsters. Shielded by a circle of high mountains and blanketed by never-ending tempests and blizzards, this region has been shunned for millennia.

And the second is at The Discworld:
Each of the three warring factions in Dragonshard has its own role to play in the overall story of the game. One force is looking to free the power within the ancient shard and use it to further its own self-righteous cause it is The Order of the Silver Flame. A second faction has been expelled from its ancestral homes and has come seeking a dark tool for revenge these are the Umbragen. The third force in Dragonshard remains veiled and mysterious, its intentions unknown.
