So the big reveal of the upcoming Age of Conan expansion is happening on the 19
th August at
GamesCom in Germany, I am very excited to see what this expansion holds for Age of
Conan! In case you have forgotten or maybe just not seen it here is the image released a while back:
Some early speculation has players guessing that a big part of the expansion will be set in "
Khitai", going from the image provided. Here is a few
snippets of information about
Khitai from
Conan wiki.
Khitai is placed east of Hyrkania, with the cities Paikang, Rou-Gen, Shaulum and Shu-Chen. The Swamps of the Dead are also in Khitai and also the Great Wall of Khitai, which, at least partially, seperates Khitai from Kusan and Hyrkania.
The people of Khitai are said to be yellow-skinned, possibly linking them to Asian cultures. (The Tower of the Elephant) Also, the Great Wall of Khitai along with the Asian sounding names of Paikang, Rou-Gen, Shaulum and Shu-Chen underbuilds this theory. Also, as the people of Hyrkania became the Mongols, Huns, Tatars and Turks, the country east thereof would likely become China, Japan and Korea.
