The Bank notes used in Bantus still carry the image of Thoran before he became gloomy, sad and sex deprived.
He might not openly admit or say this. But knowing that he's the only person in Bantus that still has a clear photograph / image of what they looked like 600 years ago makes him ecstatic.
He once tried to flirt with Nara; bragging about how good looking he was in his human life. But Nara turned him down because he was too old for her.
Ps : he wasn't that pretty in human life.

autumn pike
Any chance of new races appearing through new playable heroes?
There is a new race coming in future updates yes; it'll be called GraveBangers.
Heros will not be available through normal summons. and you'd have to fuse 2 heroes from different factions to unlock the new type of units.
they have faction advantages/ disadvantages as if it's was both heroes together.
LB+MAULER would be good against Maulers, Wilders but weak against graveborns and lightbearers.

So, regarding the Bantus Bash - take this with a grain of salt, as it probably isn't the best, but the english translation was a little off so looking at the other languages:
My young life was but a fleeting dream
Apart from my own home, what else could I have seen
My father was a doctor and medic in war
He was sentenced to death in the military courts
I was born with a mystery ailment
My mom spent all our savings
To hire
To hire the best doctor in town```Yet the Goddess witnessed while deaf
Unjustly cursed me while conscious of all the bullying
Freak, Plague and Shame
I was burdened with such names
On a silent night, I was finally taken by Death
The white knight
Pain and Suffering, to the point unimaginable```Without a place to hide
-
I know, for the Death who comes for me
We are together forever,
We shall never part```We shall never part? Hahaha!
I have no words to describe the loveliness
The loveliness of true love
Neither have I the words to describe the friendship
The friendship that blossoms from true love```She gets knocked up and wanted to get rid of me
Then they cut my body, piece by piece, and threw it into the sea
They showed no remorse for their crimes
Who could have seen the heart of iron hidden under a man's honeyed words
I now know everything I lived for and everything I wanted, I've lost```My fingers pierced his chest, which was once my shield```I was the King of Bantus
Through pageantry of Monarchy
And the thunderous roar of the trumpets
I walked on the crown of a high mountain which looked down
Amid dreams of an unholy night
My own blood marked my throne```This part is weird because there are two entirely different lines for it depending on language:
Like banners to my half-closed eyes
-
The banners appeared before my eyes like drifting clouds
Eyes which could not die in peace
The shameless betrayal
And the ruthless ambition
Let my Kingdom then, be as an eternal flower that never withers
Life, untrustworthy. But Death is faithful.
-
In Life, untrustworthy. But in Death, all are faithful.```So in-case that is of interest to anyone. It's all just reiterated lore anyway, but yeah. 
languid panther
So, regarding the Bantus Bash - take this with a grain of salt, as it probably i...
oh thank you!
in death all are faithful 
god they dropped the ball on trez w the gb event and awbadens vow
yeah thats interesting the difference with that last part
nova widget
Again, I would take it with a grain of salt though as I asked for some of the languages - and you do get Death is Faithful as well. Like, Spanish is like English with - You can't have faith in Life, but Death is faithful. And German is an example where you have that split with the banners and clouds. They are very different though.
I think Desira's became the weirdest for whatever reason.

No fire uh?
languid panther
Talene is fire
fossil sphinx
Well... I guess Talene's whole thing is fire so uh... I guess that counts xd
proper jasper
languid panther
But she doesn't have the emblem
Fire emblem is either...just not going to be handed to another hero or won't be used at all. I have a feeling it'll just turn up at the elemental bastion ig
proper jasper
Yeah, or it'd be that one thing that puts their plan to a create conflict. Like the guardian is dead, evil, kidnapped etc.
It'd be funny if they just turned up at the bastion like "face reveal!"
languid panther
I'm wondering how they're gonna do that
proper jasper
Yeah same
dawn quest
So from what I know...
Talene got her power from Astar (who I presume to be the fire guardian), Ezizh found Talene's nightmare, which was so juicy he got beefed up and "awakened" in his own right, Thane got his emblem from Respen the wind guardian, Brutus got his emblem from Granit the earth guardian, Solise just... Found her emblem in a clearing... And Baden got his emblem from Nevanthi the wood guardian.
Though I suppose Astar is not technically a guardian.
Hm...
proper jasper
Astar is not the fire guardian, she's a phoenix flower sprite (the phoenix flower was born when Talene ascended). Basically she possess the same flame as Talene, which is how she awakened her
Hypogeans feed on negativity and resentment, that's how some are born naturally without being created by another being. Ezizh created a situation in which a village would begin to resent Tasi, and used that resentment to feed on and grow strong enough to break free
There's a part about that in Zaph's lore gimme a sec
autumn pike
Hypogeans feed on negativity and resentment, that's how some are born naturally ...
bruh; i could be a hypogean breeding ground if that's the case 😭 😭
crystal tapir
My guess is, Talene is already the Fire Guardian.
As for Ezizh, what happened with him was already made explicit, as in this isn't guessing; the barrier between the "real" world and the dream realm has been eroding for a while, and when he's in the dream realm, he turns into how he was when he was still the Abyssal Expedition boss.
So now that the line is blurred, he's in a sort of "halfway state" between Normal Ezizh and Boss Ezizh.
Talene's dream had nothing to do with his transformation; she's just given him a potential weapon.
languid panther
Talene is not a guardian bc those are their own race created for that purpose
I can't remember what talene is but she's not a guardian
Oh she's an obsidian finch

zaphrael sucks
what did he gain off of taking lucretia’s child from her? how was it her fault that the child got fed to the hypogean.
glad ruin
?
I don't think anyone would say it was her fault, especially not zaphrael. But he was already dead when he killed him
solemn scaffold
I don’t remember her ever being blamed for it, she didn’t know, and Zaphrael only killed the child after he realized it was already dead
sure he sucks for abandoning her or even for accepting a marriage he wasn’t interested in but he didn’t intentionally kill the child as a dig to lucretia
vapid musk
Historical controversy? It's literally everyone's point of view on their story lmao
Controversy take you say?
Well
I kinda feel pity for Zaph
It's easy to say not accept a marriage but did you remember a circumstances of proposal? It was in front of crowd. You really think they would accept that a man declined a proposal of a cute girl? Especially considering medieval like time? Hell nawww
I can't blame Lucy either
For me they are both victims
glad ruin
i blame her for what she does afterwards. your kid getting killed isn't an excuse for killing other people's kids.

I don't think what she did was right per se.
But I would have also murdered several children in a fit of bloodthirsty rage if the man I loved killed our only child and I was already clearly mentally unstable.

All I wanted to say
Everyone is guilty AND victim at the same time
Like you can think that Zaph is asshole but well
I think you can understand his motivation too

We have a man who was kinda forced to marriage
And man who take opportunity for revenge and used it

Do you mean he can be mentioned as a background character in other stories?

maybe, cause the game even has dimensional heroes, why not metion childhood? Like scarlet isabella and Silvina.

I suppose so, but I see no story benefit from doing it. Then again I'm not Lilith
It would be interesting to see Zaphrael as a background/mentioned character in a story though, see how his tale influences other characters in-universe.

Demigods do exist, that's basically what happened to the Celestials when they failed to protect the Barred Gate

I have a question regarding Awakened Baden's lore. I was looking over the design concepts and it got me thinking... If the Wood Element purified the evil eye on Baden's chest, does it affect his personality in any way? And if so, how would his personality be affected?
languid panther
I have a question regarding Awakened Baden's lore. I was looking over the design...
So there's nothing in the lore that specifically says the eye has any hold or control over Baden itself, and if you're looking at the English lore for baden that's probably confusing because it says he's still possessed by the lich. This is an old and not canon translation of the Chinese lore where baden defeated the necromancer and is free, he just willed the darkness inside of him out and that became the shadow that follows him. Hes resentful, pensive, and sad but not malicious or possessed. If anything, ABaden is both a return to his personality before he died as well as a change into something different and stronger as well

Trez is the guardian of the Tainted, it was kinda weird that they excluded him from a plot specifically about the Tainted
Besides, he does have many of the qualities that would've made him an excellent foil to Baden, similar to Anasta/Brutus and Solise/Eorin.
From a storytelling perspective it's just odd that they didn't use him

Okay did salaki go insane and the end of his story or was his son renamed to salaki? I'm confused
proper jasper
As I interpret it Sivi was renamed Salaki, it seems that his father too was called Sivi before he became Salaki, so renaming is probably a part of becoming a cursebearer. Whether it's old Salaki going mad or defying the curse, or new Salaki defying the curse honestly I'm not sure. My brain is very foggy, so maybe somebody else could share their thoughts

Guess it depends on what your definition of corrupt is too
Like being an asshole is kind of in the lightbearer national character, so for morrow etc. the only thing thats different is the source of his powers
languid panther
okay if yall see me typing for like an hour its cause im writing a trez manifesto in response to the ping yesterday
languid panther
still not satisfied? Trez got his own VOW (shared with Nev, but still)
im happy to have his vow and i LOVED his dolly corner but no, im not satisfied. they didnt do anything with him for a year, then his vow felt very open and shut while also making it clear he and nev are close, but then in awbadens vow he leaves her ALONE so shes badens damsel in distress. its very jarring playing those vows back to back.
baden doesnt spend that much time on the island, doesnt participate in the tainteds rituals because he doesnt want to let go of his previous life, and then he comes back to save all of them while trez isnt even in the vow at all. its trezs home, baden didnt really consider it his home. they sidelined trez for baden when both of them are very, very similar and could have played off of each other in the same way they did anasta and brutus, and solise and eorin. they had enough room for him as a supporting character but then had respen there, doing basically what trez should have been doing.
theres concept art that im 98% certain was for awbadens vow cinematic that was scrapped back in march showing the island, baden, and what seems to be treznor but no clue why they scrapped that in particular. i have several pretty solid theories on why they sidelined trez in particular though but thats a whole rabbit hole i dont really want to get into. basically, im hoping they didnt just bring trez back for his vow only to wrap up his storyline and not even use him in badens quest to save the island. im really hoping his dolly corner and the mentions of whurral mean we will get him as a playable character. ive noticed theyve stopped putting unplayable heros in the relationships section of the bios and have been very cagey about hinting at relationships between new heros and awakened (see brutus' awakening and anastas redemption not in anastas story, nothing about solise in eorins story, nothing at all about baden in nevs story) and theyve been releasing more heros now that are either mentioned in existing stories or creating them to complement existing heros. if they give me whurral i will forgive them :3

I don't really see it. Aside from Baden they didn't hint the next awakened in the parchment events.
LBs were: Thane, Belinda and Raine
Maulers were: Anoki, Warek, Thali
Wilders were: Respen, Solise and Astar.
Oden is probably more similar to the LB and Mauler entries
