"A new game demo for the average or sensual person, bears" (bonus points if you get the reference).

To those of you who couldn't make it to the Game Developer's Conference 2012, En Masse Entertainment just released a one-two content combo for TERA. The video above shows off their new Temple of Temerity, which plays like an MMO survival mode where you defend a relic from an onslaught of enemies. Difficulty is said to be high, but the reward is as well.

Also coupled with the trailer's release is a short novelette ebook which fleshes out more of TERA's expansive lore, written by independent publisher and writer Bridget McKenna. The Amarathine Heart deals with Madoc, a former soldier, saddled with guarding a caravan, only to have the mission go all wrong. As a longtime gamer, I can truly understand his pain at having to deal with an escort mission. 

The Amarathine Heart is out right now, and is $0.99 at the Amazon.com store.
