The guys from ‘The Last Days’ are treating us to another look at what’s been going on behind the scenes. This time Merlkir is revealing some of the concept art that he has made for Dale and the Men of Rhûn (also known as the Easterlings). He has also promised that he will post an additional two or three new pictures every day until he runs out, so you may want to visit the preview thread often!

You can play the old version of ‘The Last Days’ right now if you download ‘Mount & Blade’ v0.808 and TLD v2.4. Find out more about the mod at their forum.
