Aegwynn

Aegwynn, known as the Matriarch of Tirisfal, was the penultimate Guardian of Tirisfal. She is the single mortal champion imbued with the magic of a secret council who would utilize their collective powers to fight a never-ending secret war against the Legion. Aegwynn is recognized as one of the greatest Guardians and is renowned for apparently vanquishing Sargeras' avatar in Northrend. The Guardian Aegwynn grew powerful over the years and used the Tirisfal energies to extend her life significantly. Foolishly believing that she had defeated Sargeras for good, she continued to safeguard the world from the demon king's minions for nearly nine hundred years. However, the Council of Tirisfal finally decreed that her stewardship had come to an end. The Council ordered Aegwynn to return to Dalaran so that they could choose a new successor for the Guardian power. Aegwynn, ever distrustful of the Council, decided to select a successor on her own.

Tony Hawk's American Wasteland

Tony Hawk's American Wasteland is a video game that was released for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube on October 18, 2005 in North America and October 28, 2005 in Europe. An Xbox 360 version was released a month later on November 22, 2005 in North America and December 2, 2005 in Europe and a Microsoft Windows port was issued on February 6, 2006 in North America and April 7, 2006 in Europe.

The seventh entry of the Tony Hawk's series, the game was developed by Neversoft and published by Activision.

The PC version of the game was ported and published by Aspyr. American Wasteland is the first Tony Hawk game to support Xbox Live; online play was previously limited to the PlayStation 2 and PC. The Nintendo DS/Game Boy Advance version of this game, American Sk8land, features Wi-Fi capabilities. It was the first third-party DS game to have online support.

Features

American Wasteland is the first game in the Tony Hawk franchise that advertised and allowed the possibility for players to play in one vast level via story mode, which actually seamlessly connects a number of levels without loading times in between, along with also being the first game in the series that allows you to freely commandeer stray bicycles and perform freestyle BMX techniques with it similar to how you can with the skateboard. In the September 2005 edition of Game Informer, a map was shown displaying THAW's Los Angeles with an insert of an overhead view of the Boston stage from Underground 2 for comparison. The Boston level appeared to be about three quarters the size of one THAW area, with the exception of the "Vans Skatepark" and "Casino" areas.
