Greetings TAW and welcome to another iteration of On the Horizon. The purpose of this particular series of blog posts is to bring light to the current Horizon Teams as well as potential games that Vanguard is considering bringing into the fold.
As PIA it is my privelage to provide information on these teams and be a pseudo spokesman for them. Some of the information will include how to get involved with these teams, who to contact, and when they typically gather for their mandatory events.

Additional new realms will also open on Monday, August 26 at 100 a.m. PDT as follows.
