I just dont think hypos would awaken due to prayers just cause a god did it dont mean demons will...i mean its a possibility i suppose....but i believe they have to cause mass negativity energy and feed off that.

But we will see

Next hypo wint be out for another year at least id imagine

[proper jasper]

Lmao it is wild true

[hot plinth]

You think mauler will be next?

[proper jasper]

Possibly. Still hoping for AwSafiya, and a dark star realm plot 🙏

[hot plinth]

That might be what it is this meteor shower w.e it is is empowering hypos

[dark heath]

[chilly scarab]

I've just finished the Blade Hunt. It was pretty epic

[dawn helm]

cutee i thought you could bring it back to one of the survivors but there's no option

so i guess athalia kept it

[chilly scarab]

yeah perhaps as a memento of sorts

ugh I can't wait for more videos of Athalia. They truly left us hanging

[languid panther]

I think that was scavengers and the whole thadentrez thing

And then the waking up in a feverish sweat before I was even supposed to technically know about nev and deciding she needs to (redacted) trez and then trezs vow came out and had nev in it

I used up all my oracle juice

[proper jasper]

Oh no, no juice

[languid panther]

I need more juicy boys

[proper jasper]

That's human lucy lol, back from the third anniversary. They reuse that art from time to time

[proper jasper]

You got some new ones rn

Start squeezing

[languid panther]

I'm juicing them

[hot plinth]

Is it just me or does this feel like the perfect union

[hot plinth]

Oh ok lol i was like...awakened lucy when!? Lol also i have a feeling awakened cecilia if she chases after athalia what tou think? Possibly too early but thats going by the in game event

[loud cipher]

i spent 400 dollars and i didnt get the character i wanted

[languid panther]

How

[dark heath]

Small Orthros headcannon (inspired by harp decoration in oak in):

Orthros has a private passion for music, and professionally knows how to play the harp, but becomes very flustered if others hear him play. The only ones who know of this secret are the twins

[coral zodiac]

awww that's very cute!!!

[proper jasper]

Ajdhs I like that one

[gentle hazel]

i finished it but i dont think i got it :(

[languid panther]

[proper jasper]

Thank you!!!

[proper jasper]

Cele next huh? Some summer goddess?

[hot plinth]

Im thinking dim but i suppose a normal celestial isnt out of the question either

[languid panther]

I wish it was woke nev

[proper jasper]

[dark heath]

Got accended Thane

Hell yeah!

[timber tide]

We just got Athalia >.<

[austere tusk]

wokes dont count towards normal hero release

[timber tide]

Of course they don't -.-

[hot plinth]

Percisely we got framton alna the awakened ezizh

Then we got cannon hypo guy then maetria

I say dim for 2 reasons

It doesnt mention esperia
And its pretty sparce in information

So we will see

But accorsing to gabe im stupid for saying dim

[timber tide]

we are already in the middle of a dim exchange >.<

[hot plinth]

Bro this hero is 3 weeks out lol its not impossible

Exchange ends in 22 days so

And iirc joa was dropped around the same time during the witcher collab

Or maybe it was mulan

[hot plinth]

What you think @proper jasper

Still on the celes train?

[proper jasper]

It's about time for a new cele, so that's my guess.

[austere tusk]

Mulan was months after Witcher ended so not that

[hot plinth]

There were dims back to back

[austere tusk]

That would be brutal hope they don't do it again

[hot plinth]

It was prolly joa then witcher or something like that theb

[indigo nova]

do they think it's october 2021 how are they gonna release dims back to back

[south flint]

The next dim hero will be Doug Dimmadome, owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome

[dawn helm]

the hat as a signature item would be so fun, but then he would need an entire inn for himself

[languid panther]

[languid panther]

They wont

[languid panther]

Pfp checks out

[hot mesa]

The next hero is definitely another celestial. The reason why it isnt a dimensional is because literally every dolly dimensional teaser has a little unfamiliarity and curiousity implied. This "goddess" is already well known in esperia and people have witnessed her beauty before. Therefore she is celestial 😱

[hot plinth]

It doesnt even mention esperia tf you reading lol

[hot mesa]

"If youre lucky enough you will get to witness the glorious beuaty of that legendary goddess"

"That legendary" implies she's already pretty renown in Esperia even if Esperia isnt directly mentioned

[hot plinth]

Im not denying the plausable case of a celestial but you are litterally taking 1 part of the whole thing.

1st part now that its june, thay implies that esperia follows the same time as real life and i dont find that very plausable. As a month HAS NEVER been mentioned before.

2ndly we can look at previous dimensionals, a pair of girls in the forest that have never been seen before, well i originnally though a wilder so did many others in this discord.

We can go to mulan, a female warrior that knew martial arts....that could of been easily a lb.

Now you use the argument a goddess....well celestials arent gods and goddesses and are never refrenced as such. There are 5 gods and goddesses iirc or maybe 6 and unless its dura then prolly not a celestial

Now again it could im not saying im right nor am i wrong, what i am saying is dont always take it for face value unless its very obvious.

Thats my counter offer we shall see in 2 more weeks lol

And they have done back to back dims before released a dim and right at the end of the exchange released another. Just keep an open mind is all i am saying.

Hell vei and even olgath were kinda lacking of complete information

[glad ruin]

what

celestials get called gods all the time

the dolly hint for woke athalia called her a god

[hot plinth]

A god doesnt create another god

Dura didnt creat athalia to be a god

They as we have said 1000 times celestials are angels more thrn anything else. That is duty bound to protect the people.

So ya humans would see celestials as gods who answer thier prayers

But thats no what they are

[glad ruin]

that seems like trying to fit the afk lore into a monotheistic model of divinity when they're clearly going for more of a greek pantheon type thing

the current celestials strictly aren't gods because they broke the contract, so they're demi-gods now, but they at least were gods

and even taking that literally...dolly has called celestials gods before. she's a human. it hardly matters in deciphering her hints to say that's wrong actually

[hot plinth]

Again there are only 5 or 6 gods dura anninh thr one that created thr solarian furnace and 2 or 3 others.....thats it celestials are not gods....a god does not create another god. Celestials are angels and hypos are demons. The whole afk lore is taking from many religions and mythologies. But the church of the light and thr celestials are christianity based and so is at least 7 hypos that are the 7 deadly sins. There is not other power that is equal to or greater thrn dura anninh and the 3 or 4 others

[glad ruin]

that is literally just your opinion

you said celestials are never called gods, and that's blatantly wrong

[hot plinth]

So lets see why is the only celestial that shes EVER stated considered to be a "god" look up there is vei...why isnt vei a "god"

Cause they arent and never will be lol.

Unless the whole lore gets retconned

[hot mesa]

I have to agree with @hot plinth on this one tbh

Yeah, celestials are anything but gods to be exact. If anything they are supernatural beings with some level of sentience at best

[hot plinth]

Not all zaph was a human that was empowered or ascended

Same thing with haelus though he almost died he was rescued and reconstructed by that guy who built titus. So idk about supernatural but def one way of looking at it

[glad ruin]

what i'm saying is that whether you have decided they are gods or not doesn't matter because the game consistently refers to them as such anyway.

[hot plinth]

Ansiel

Thats his name

Poor orthos....bro out here trying to save dura and cant change fate

[languid panther]

They were gods before being basically demoted to demi gods because they didn't keep the hypogeans behind the barred gate

Literally they're referred to as gods a lot

Some level of sentience at best uh

Also a good chunk of the celestials were mortals

Like where are you getting this from

[glad ruin]

thats what im saying

[hot plinth]

I suppose you are correct they are god like in a sense. But to compare a celestial to say dura anninh is not correct

So maybe demi god is a better term

[languid panther]

I know I'm just confused why anyone else would read that as anything else

Read what's been said in the game, lore book ect I mean

[hot plinth]

We know they arent thr gods

[glad ruin]

also for the record dolly's hints have called morael and vyloris (fakely) goddesses too

[hot plinth]

Thry dont go to the church of the light and worship and pray to athalia

[glad ruin]

that is a very narrow interpretation of what a "god" is. it's not the game's definition at all

[languid panther]

They've done an interesting way of combining chinese mythology, catholism and saint imagery, and greco roman pantheon

[hot plinth]

Well there is the Gods of all creation, and then the lesser ones ie celestials that runs the world now that dura is dead.

The lesser ones consists of the ones dura created and all the newer ones that are humans that were ascended

Or cosmically born like moreal and Audrae

Or monkey ascended lol

[worn thunder]

LMFAO this is an actual group

@frank iron not to get too off-topic in the questions channel, but if you can bear to live in china and don't got much better, it's not a bad move at all. they are in high demand as chinese govt game licensing has dried up and all the devs are hard pivoting toward overseas markets

only problem is it's just about the most thankless job you can imagine with constant headaches and completely illogical decisions that truly blow your mind. and quasi-politics depending on whether you're in-house, contractor, agency, etc. etc.

i'm not in loc but boy would i give my left nut for a half-decent localization team so... yeah go for it, easy money

[languid panther]

I have been asked why I don't write for games and it's because I write fanfic I'm a walking IP nightmare that no company would want to touch

[frank iron]

ive lived there for more than half my age. i dont mind but my current job probably pays better and i wanna continue my studies...could do a side gig thou since i do most translation stuff on the side

[frank iron]

[languid panther]

I hear abt Americans going there for jobs but not sure how good it actually is, I know mostly ppl in tech and teaching

[worn thunder]

left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing
this is so accurate that it physically pains me
they change it to eng they tend to make it edgier
yeah i deal with this a lot too, they imagine "what do foreigners like" and they just take their already overbearingly dramatic writing style but just add ten scoops of cringe because white people like violence right?

[languid panther]

EXACTLY

[worn thunder]

oh lmao, aite you know what's up

[languid panther]

Poor baden lol at least they kinda cleaned him up

[frank iron]

yeap lol

[languid panther]

Several OGs from lore chat are the reason why they started making sure the cn actually matches the eng

[worn thunder]

translation is one of the few viable side gigs out there, i wouldn't know how to get it going but yeah, easy money

[worn thunder]

no way haha see, that's great

[languid panther]

Bc ppl didn't even realize for years that the story for many heroes was totally different in cn until yudiat machine translated it and put it in a Google doc

[worn thunder]

tech and teaching just about covers 90% hahahaha

[frank iron]

yeah thats what most r up to. there are more fields opening up thou. but its kinda...unneccesarily competitive

[languid panther]

I'm not looking to leave healthcare anytime soon though

[frank iron]

same

[worn thunder]

literally exactly what i'm going through now, i have so much localization shit put on my lap that someone's forging on writing volumes of cringe which is supposed to be my job, meaning i have to clean up their mess and the english will end up being very very different

difference in my case is, i don't give a fk

[languid panther]

The thing is the cn for afk is almost always a better story

[worn thunder]

yeah maybe don't leave one of the few industries that AI can't absolutely dick down

[languid panther]

Yeah god

I've done desk work I've done management and retail and everything else and I do not want to leave healthcare now

[worn thunder]

you could have fooled me. i know chinese just inherently accept, even expect, super dramatic and flowery developments but man, i dread looking at the latest progress, it's like opening up a jar of cringe that's been fermenting in the cupboard for a month

[frank iron]

u mean tv shows wise right lol....

[languid panther]

Eng afk team is very good I'm pretty sure they're not actually lilith employees though

I'm pretty sure they're contractors

[worn thunder]

novels, tv shows, movies. actually the film stuff is improving quite quickly.

really the core issue though is that game dev is seen for the most part as just another tech job, and designers are considered top dawgs so only the most academically successful people get in. and let's just say creative writing isn't exactly an emphasis for such people

[worn thunder]

i'm dying to pick the brain of a lilith employee on their loc process. i think i know someone, just need to get around to it...
we also use contractors but, not to get into it, it's a friggin mess. it ain't workin' out lmao

[frank iron]

which is kinda sad...since creative writing has been such a thing in the culture itself....but i do see why tech is such a focus since in the big picture, cn has been behind in the field

[worn thunder]

the best and worst parts of china (and this is going to sound really odd to someone who doesn't know it) just come down to how many people there are...
that means in a sea of people with no creative drive, you still manage to get a pretty sizeable group of unbelievably talented, hardworking individuals with great taste in their chosen field. with any luck those people are gradually getting recognition, just need to hope it sticks and affects the culture as a whole as time goes on

well. you already know this basically, i'm sure

[languid panther]

They're in afk official, maybe they're see this

Lot of devs and afk inside ppl lurk lore chat

For some reason

[frank iron]

im sure its a matter of time. we already see such good stuff being produced....just that theyre burried in a pile of....

[frank iron]

hope they notice

[languid panther]

No that makes sense

[worn thunder]

maybe they'll hire me and rescue me from my station. but they probably won't appreciate that i'm on discord at work lmfao

[worn thunder]

just a shame i see the artists around me are so, SO talented... but clearly demonstrate a lack of aesthetic taste or whatever you want to call it

i don't buy the propaganda that "ooOOoh it's because they don't have western fReeDom". they just need time. but... maybe like a full generation lol

[frank iron]

typically it take at least a gen for such big shifts....i do think its getting better thou. and i also believe theres huge opportunities in cn compared to the dead waters here

[worn thunder]

i see it most in animation. maybe because so much of it comes down to hours of meticulous work but man. chinese animators put out some amazing stuff

oh, and black myth wukong, very hyped

[frank iron]

animation industry has been blooming like crazy in the past decade....just watching tv makes it obvious. u can see such a change in comics/mangas and what not too. theres a handful that ive read/watched.

im thinking how should i type the names out in english lol. animation movie wise there was the one from 2019, and manhwa wise theres way too many. i think the very first one that was a break though is the series one thats still on going now....gave up reading it when i was younger lol.

[frank iron]

hopefully its as good as the 2019 one animation (ne zha) at least and not like afk wukong....a joke.

[worn thunder]

lol i'm open if you know any really good ones. trying to find decent media to practice but uh, a little tough going

[worn thunder]

yeah, haven't watched a gameplay trailer on repeat since i was a teen

[frank iron]

we'll see if its as good as the trailer next year hopefully when its released...its getting stuck in my memory but i think there was a wukong animation of some sort in the recent years but i think it wasnt too good (but an improvement from before for sure)

[worn thunder]

i mean journey to the west might as well be batman in how much they recycle and reimagine it, not even fair to compare haha

[worn thunder]

wait, was that the one with the pig

[languid panther]

Poor afk wukong

[proper jasper]

Oh I remember watching that one

I've been meaning to watch the other movie they released afterwards too but then I forgot and never came around to do it

[languid panther]

Embla waking up like why are people in my lore hole

[proper jasper]

If we talk abt chinese animation (or animation in general) I'm wide awake

[languid panther]

badenstare

shuffling people into your lore hole for your enrichment

[proper jasper]

[languid panther]

ppl ask lore questions in questions and everyone else is like why are you asking this here

so fucking funny to me

[worn thunder]

responded too late to the summons sadge

[proper jasper]

Aw

I saw I was pinged in questions btw was that it?

[languid panther]

i recommended poking you as a lore resource

[proper jasper]

[hot plinth]

Somone hating on athalias cinematic? btw did you see the group at the end of the second cinematic? If you didnt notice its the same group that athalia murked in the first one

@proper jasper

[proper jasper]

Yeah I saw

So needless to say there'll be a part 3 that connects the dots

I hope it's interesting

[hot plinth]

Indeed

The prolly murdered that little girl that enraged athalia

[fresh anchor]

baki, baki, baki

I opend this chat and was like

I am curious if baki is on the last page on my screen if I open this chat

and what do you know

last message

[hot plinth]

Rofl whats up boss man

We talk lore here no body wants to be a nerd in eclipse so got to be it here. Lol

[rancid robin]

Who was the mauler with the the hammer that fucked thanes right arm up?

[austere tusk]

it wasnt a hammer, it was brutus

[idle path]

Brutus yeah

[austere tusk]

https://comics.inkr.com/title/993-legends-of-esperia-the-silent-blade-afk-arena/chapter/53306-chapter-1
Go read it

[rancid robin]

Understandable

[austere tusk]

oh thats weird

[rancid robin]

[hot plinth]

Lilith updates and retcons all thier all the time

[languid panther]

Spreading the good word

[hot plinth]

But it was def brutus brutus could of had a mace back wgen and upgraded to a sword as well

[languid panther]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/974081672972763186/1093269491829461032/trezbedparty.gif

[austere tusk]

yeah the baden in game lore doesnt exactly match the comic idk which takes priority

[languid panther]

Very old lore stories were poorly translated and localized

There's a whole Google docs yudiat made of machine translations of the original Chinese stories

Many are far off of the English ones

For stories before 2020

Baden is just totally different

[hot plinth]

But another example is when edwin stabbed thoran when in the og lore he slit his throat

[languid panther]

Bc his English lore isn't canon

[austere tusk]

oh ok

[languid panther]

The comic combined the English and Chinese lore pretty well

The cn is always canon

They have good translators for lore now

It used to just be wild west

Changing anything they wanted

The comic writers knew what they were doing when they got in the hand holding scene from English lore and also thane being conscious while he's dragged away from baden at the end

[hot plinth]

In the video

You can see him charging thoran and i believe the blade going into and up thorans chest

So like i said they retcon and update things all the time

[dark radish]

I've got a lore question, if there's differences between a Dolly's corner entry for a character and their in game lore, which should be taken as the correct version? Bc crassio is pretty recent so I wouldn't think bad English translation applies to him, but there's definite differences

[proper jasper]

Crassio's corner isn't that different from his in-game lore imo, what parts are you thinking of?

[proper jasper]

English version, the cn one is different

Yudiat's doc is here, I really wish we could pin it somehow
https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1m_MQoRWArwBVH1JZg2YwGFuL6T4M2LZqqMgDpv1sjWg/mobilebasic#h.dol1ooc6t1wd

It's also pretty easy to check the cn lore in-game yourself

[proper jasper]

Ah but to answer this: cn lore in-game always goes first

[hot plinth]

the CN one didnt even mention how thoran died

Grizelle was outnumbered and physically exhausted, and a traitor from the Janissaries took the opportunity to insert a dagger into his back. When he was about to die, he saw the king being killed by the rebels with his own eyes. Just as he was on the edge of life and death, a voice sounded in his heart, and that voice suggested a deal about the soul to him. Grezelle knew the price of the deal, but he had no choice. The desire for revenge prompted him to agree to that voice.

the CN one says he was killed by the rebels....sure that could include edwin i suppose

[dark radish]

In-game says he was thinking of going to the dark forest and such with Leah, and she was stabbed the same night of wanting to spare some exiles, whereas in the corner it says they did manage to spare them and live in the dark forest for a while before she got stabbed

[dark radish]

Thank you for the answer tho :3

[proper jasper]

Oh yeah I see what you mean. I do wonder if it's a transl thing on the Dolly's, looking at the cn mtl, but I won't be able to say lol

"They stopped being Rodley's executioners, building a house together in the Dusk Grove, and occasionally escorting caravans as bodyguards seemed like a good future." This part makes me think it might be, but again it's a mtl and to say for sure an actual translator would have to look at it

[proper jasper]

Yw

[languid panther]

Embla the mvp

[proper jasper]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/974081672972763186/1093269491829461032/trezbedparty.gif

[hot plinth]

So with the cn version saying the rebels killed thoran

The EN version saying the rebels dragged him to edwin and he slit his throat

And then the official video showing edwin charging thoran and stabbing him thriugh the chest

What is exactly correct...i would assume the video now....as i previously stated things get updated and retconned all the time

[proper jasper]

Cn lore, in its ambiguity, doesn't contradict the video. I'd hardly call it a retcon

[inner dew]

is there a afk lore channel on youtube ? wan know all about it

[languid panther]

Not that I know of besides the animations and some dev interviews on the official afk yt

[proper jasper]

There was talk on reddit about making an audio/video reading of the lore, but Idk if it garnered enough interest for them to follow through on the project

[languid panther]

I still want to do shitty illustrated lore videos

But idk if I can narrate without fucking laughing

[proper jasper]

Please

[languid panther]

Mostly the whole oden thing

Bc him having a goth rave in the basement of the college so atrocious that thoran calls up his boss and tells him the city's gonna explode if someone doesn't stop this funky little guy

[proper jasper]

He's just vibing

[austere tusk]

Is that actually his lore

[ruby gazelle]

skrumple?

[languid panther]

I'm simplifying it but yeah in cn lore odens story is longer

Oden was raving too hard with the old gods and thoran had to call the HOA

[austere tusk]

[languid panther]

And Quaedam sends kelthur and ferael, or at least the group that those two are apart of they are explicitly named so I'm assuming

And they beat his ass and lock him in the basement of the college for eternal time out

Well i highly doubt thats a celestial now

lilith wouldnt advertise some random celestial like that

well find out prolly tonight anyway on test

or tommorrow

@proper jasper too many images to go through LOL do you have that preview of i believe it was JOA or Mulan of like a sword or banner or both in what looked like it was in a bar i tried to look on twitter but couldnt find it

[proper jasper]

Yeah I remember it, it was Joan. Though I don't have it on me

[bold bone]

Its a wilder? Or dim?

[hot plinth]

How is a wilder a goddess ?

[hot plinth]

And hero pv

[languid panther]

Looks hot

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/974081672972763186/1093269491829461032/trezbedparty.gif

[proper jasper]

I hope she is

[proper jasper]

Her name is Daemia

I wonder what her lore is like

[dawn quest]

Flora... But milf...
I retract my previous statement.
Nevermind, I stand by it.

[languid panther]

Ahhhhhhh

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/974081672972763186/1093269491829461032/trezbedparty.gif

[proper jasper]

please

I'm getting my hopes up

[languid panther]

Please god

Be them

[proper jasper]

Please

[glad ruin]

Now only fall remains

[proper jasper]

Best season

[languid panther]

Once again we ask for thane Halloween skin

[proper jasper]

Please

On the topic of skins

I do wonder who'll be this year's pick for summer skins 👀

Aside from Leofric ofc

[languid panther]

They have to do leofric

[glad ruin]

I predict they’ll do summer belinda the second

They need to do a woke skin at some point and bel is top dog atm

[languid panther]

🗑

[glad ruin]

The first one was too

I hope they bring back arthur

[viral pond]

Could've fooled me
It makes sense it's not another Awakened Hero
It's too soon
It's not like I'm disappointed that it's not an Awakened Hero of a certain celestial goddess that happens to also have some green theme color and with a little flowers around
I mean why would she be "that legendary goddess"?
And why would she become an Awakened Hero?
She isn't associated with the season of summer, that would bel Daemia
Make sense
I completely almost knew this was gonna happen
I was prepared for it
A little
I saw this coming

I'm not crying
You're crying

I'm fine
Totally not disappointed that much

But anyway
Lady of Summer
Damian
I can't wait
Thanx@proper jasper

No seriously thank you

[languid panther]

What

[viral pond]

On nothing
Don't worry about it

[languid panther]

Is this more or less schizophrenic than I am

I can't tell what's happening

[viral pond]

No no
Im.not breaking down
I prepared myself for this
My mind already knew the answer
And yet for some reason I still let my hopes up too much
The fault is mine

I was just trying to do what every fan does
They make theories and hope for desired expectation results

So yeah I brought my own downfall
But I'm ok don't worry

This kind of stuff happens

[languid panther]

I don't know ehsts happening

[proper jasper]

What

[austere tusk]

what

[languid panther]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/441477431501783062/1040581270960341052/834639124995768321.gif

[hot plinth]

No one ever said it was awakened lol

Not a single person unless they were trolling you lol

The only 2 canidates ever was dim and celestial

Damian who that?

[viral pond]

Well we were given a tear about another upcoming hero
And we'll
That character almost looked the character that looks like was about to become Awakened
Something that I had always wished for but realized it will never happen

Plus the post said "we will get to e witness the glorious beauty of that legendary goddess"
I mightve misunderstood it but I almost thought it meant a goddess that we already have

[hot plinth]

Yes but if you thought awakened in any capacity thats on you when athalia was litterally just released.....legendary goddess meant 2 things some goddess from real life or a celestial nothing else. All of us went into a deep discussion in this channel about both if youd of payed attention...and generally the guys in here are 99.999% correct

[viral pond]

Um
I didn't even take part or read the discussion you had

I just skipped through to loom for answers

[hot plinth]

Hence if youd had youd of known

[viral pond]

Since I was dying from patience

[viral pond]

Yeah you're right

[hot plinth]

Idk why you would even think awakened when athalia isnt even a month old

[viral pond]

I guess after the last 2 days that happened
When I saw that post yesterday
I was like
No way
No way
There is no way

The last 2 days literally something I dreamed and imagined LIRWRALLY HAPPENED

I knew 3rd time is not the charm
But I took a risk

[hot plinth]

Every 2 months no fail so there will be no awakened till july

[viral pond]

Ah ok

[hot plinth]

Maybe late june if early

[viral pond]

I already knew it's too soon for a new Awakened but sometimes life is full of surprises

[hot plinth]

Doubt it though

Not 5 weeks early

[viral pond]

Then you should have the seen the stuff I witnessed that surprised me so good

[viral pond]

Ah ok

They went exactly how I expected

I was like
THATS TWO TIMES IN A ROW

And that was happening in a different game

I guess I'm a sucker for fantasy

Or something that made me look this silly thinking of such a thing

This is embarrassing

Cya

[languid panther]

I feel psychotic opening this chat rn

Fuck is all this

[proper jasper]

[languid panther]

Making me look normal fr

[last goblet]

no, still abnormal

[languid panther]

Pot and kettle

[last goblet]

when do we get woke vurk, work him into the story somehow

idc how

[languid panther]

Anyways actual lore shit, embla had me double check with Belinda about gouldos since there's some confusion on what's going on with him and if he is the same entity as uemiss.

Seems like this is the best answer we're gonna get

[proper jasper]

Yea

[languid panther]

I forgot vurk exists

[last goblet]

rude

[languid panther]

I can hear that emote

Bappoy when new emote contest

[austere tusk]

Delicious old god lore

[languid panther]

Fram being directly related to the old gods is so funny he's like a gremlin

[last goblet]

idk

its been a while, but also everyone is deadge

[languid panther]

I need nev emotes

[austere tusk]

I need that sticker in here

[languid panther]

You're in gravebangers you can use it in some channels here that still allow stickers

They should just add like all the mae emotes too

[austere tusk]

nah my nitro is too smol

[languid panther]

Cries

[hot plinth]

We need to get it animated somehow

[hot plinth]

5th

@proper jasper ill get voice line in one sec

I like the last one lol

Fuck lol did it again

[glad ruin]

sea ya drop

wait i guess gorvo already exists

[lapis stag]

Daemia: Summer is the best season. You agree, don't you?

[hot plinth]

Huh?

[glad ruin]

i was just commenting on her story mentioning sea dwelling ya, which we haven't really seen so far (excepf for gorvo again)

[languid panther]

Thank you

[languid panther]

When will we get a literal whale ya hero

[hot plinth]

Oh i gotcha i was so confused rofl

[glad ruin]

her story is basically nevanthi+athalia but less hardcore

honestly her portrait doesnt seem to match her personality that much

[languid panther]

Yeah I'm not really sure what to think about her

[hot plinth]

I think unless the celestial is born human...they have to go on a journey of learning humans are dicks

[hot plinth]

Ty @sleek saffron forgot to post

[rustic copper]

Did I mention that AFK Arena satisfies any fetish?

[languid panther]

Change name

[rustic copper]

Why I have this nick?

[hot plinth]

Cause you last name was probably terrible

[rustic copper]

My nick is человек без имени

[hot plinth]

Ah yus english only

[dawn helm]

@severe hull

[proper jasper]

Thank you!

[proper jasper]

Thanks for sharing!

Titus finally has a friend

[proper jasper]

I think Saurus' kind also counts

[hot plinth]

Np

[hot plinth]

@proper jasper im not sure what this could be i really think gb

You are usually the guessing champion

Now it says wilder magee....but the last wilder we had turned out.to be a hypo so imma lil sus

[shell jay]

Is that really all we get for Daemia story? Pretty uneventful and not a single mention wether she is same species as Talene/Maetria even though she looks like them.. "Last Obsidian finch" my ass

[proper jasper]

I'd hardly call myself that

[hot plinth]

Why would ahe be an obiaidan finch lol....juat cause she has wings doesnt make her one lol
....shes the goddess of summer like flora goddess of spring and alna of winter

[glad ruin]

yeah she just has wings. thats not unique to birds

[brave vigil]

Dude you okay?

[proper jasper]

Makes me think it's one of the stargazers

[hot plinth]

Ya why

Im busy at work typing fast

[brave vigil]

Oh fair. That's why I was asking

[shell jay]

Why would she be? Well because she looks strikingly like two already released heros of that species.. soo obviously majority of people will asume she is of same race..

[hot plinth]

Lol ok vyloris you are now an obsidian finch cause you got wings.

How bout everyone with wings you are now an obaidian finch

[hot plinth]

Well thr majority of people are dumb asses lol

[shell jay]

Hahaha, what are you smoking my dude? Just bc someone has wings doesn't make em look like Talene or Maetria..

[hot plinth]

Oh?

Neither dies she

[shell jay]

Agree to disagree 👍

[proper jasper]

The stargazers are a group of Wilders

[glad ruin]

She really doesn't though

[hot plinth]

Wait for real?

Bro dont get me fucked up looking at this lol

[glad ruin]

the finches also have tails and flame things on their heads

[proper jasper]

It's in the lore book, one sec I'll get it

[glad ruin]

the only thing daemia has is wings and a warmish color palette

yeah lorsan is one iirc

[hot plinth]

And red hair not pink

[glad ruin]

but also the two finch heroes were transformed into human forms, finches in their natural state are just like. birds.

[hot plinth]

Shes got warmth to her cause shes the summer goddess

[proper jasper]

Lorsan is a wind whisperer, Iirc the stargazers are a different group

[glad ruin]

bad memory then

[proper jasper]

Oh found it

It's just one throwaway line though

Although with Dolly's hint, I hope this means we'll get more stargazer lore

[hot plinth]

That would be epic

[glad ruin]

i think there's another mention in the wilder section of the lore book but i dont want to walk 4 feet to get my book

[hot plinth]

Lol

[proper jasper]

I looked for it but I couldn't find anything

But then again I did a cursory glance and I'm too lazy to go back and check again

[hot plinth]

I wonder what daemias age is though....is she like flora?

[glad ruin]

give me morael support

[hot plinth]

I feel like her and flora are sisters

[languid panther]

I was trying to explain this earlier and couldn't remember lol

[languid panther]

Mines in my bed with me but I can't turn lights on or ill wake my birds up

[glad ruin]

i feel like the season goddesses' ages are gonna match up to the seasons. alna looks old, flora looks young, daemia is an adult. i guess fall lady will be middle aged

[languid panther]

It's pretty impressive they're able to reference small tidbits years later

[hot plinth]

See

[languid panther]

The continuity for a mobile game is good

[hot plinth]

That makes sense

Lol

[languid panther]

Yeah it's already happening where ppl are asking if she's another finch lol

[hot plinth]

Alna walks into chat and slaps you for calling her old

[languid panther]

Tired of the butt wings frankly

Just want something else

[glad ruin]

i dont mind the wings, but i feel maybe they're a weird detail when flora and alna don't have them...not that flora and alna look anything like each other, but like, categorically 1/3 season gods having them feels weird

the wings feel like, angelic/holy while they feel like they should be more manifestations of nature or something. theyre not incompatible but ehhh

i dont get why audrae has them either but it's w/e. she's so different from her sister i guess it was just one more thing to separate them

[proper jasper]

Her design could work just fine wo the wings too

Not particularly sure what they add to the design

Less is more and all that y'know

[glad ruin]

and the fact that the portrait overemphasized the wings means we're going to deal with tired talene jokes for weeks now probably

[languid panther]

Yep

I mean what were they expecting

This was good tho

[glad ruin]

i do like them to the extent that they add color to the palette, but they could have done that other ways.

i at least wish the portrait didn't wash out the colors as much. the pink is nice

[hot plinth]

Agreed thr wings are pointless

Neither flora or alna have wings

[proper jasper]

Aye

[hot plinth]

But the rest of her design def shows off that summer nature vibe

They were def spot on with her

[glad ruin]

i don't think they're so much pointless, at least on the sprite i think the added color is really good and adds a lot to the overall design. but like. wings weren't the only option

im mostly frustrated with the portrait i think. totally missed the mark from how fluttery and colorful the sprite is

[hot plinth]

They could of added more functionality to her staff similiar to floras broom instead of wings

[hot plinth]

Agreed

[glad ruin]

im thinking maybe wings made of something other than just feathers. like, flower wings would have been sick

im making myself angry thinking how sick flower wings would have been

i guess thatd be more a spring thing but w/e

[hot plinth]

I guess the wings are for her to float

She talks about monsoon season maybe she could of been floating cause of a summer breeze or because of monsoon winds instead of wings idk lol

[glad ruin]

i mean gods can just fly generally i think

flora just floats with magic

[hot plinth]

Sadly no i dont think they can all fly....they are kinda like thor if they can float they should have the power of flight or if they have wings

[glad ruin]

i guess, maybe

now that i think about it the fact that only elijah floats would support that

[hot plinth]

But i dont believe just going by wxamples off the top of my head alna zaph titus vei

[glad ruin]

i guess

[hot plinth]

I dont believe they can fly

I picture vei though coming onto the battle field with a super hero pose

[languid panther]

I remember months ago I really wanted a dragon abaden before his release so he would match athanes phoenix

[languid panther]

Should have given her a gossamer skirt like abaden

[glad ruin]

Does anyone have all those story icons in a folder somewhere

I know only some of the heroes have unique ones.

[proper jasper]

I think @coral zodiac have them collected?

[coral zodiac]

Wait, which story icons?

[coral zodiac]

Like this one?

[languid panther]

Yeah those ones

[coral zodiac]

Hmmm I'm not sure if I have them

I have to check

[severe hull]

o

😳😳

[glad ruin]

i only noticed the icons the other day, it's kind of tedious to go through all the stories but i found it weird how there didn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to what heroes got them

old ones anyway, it looks like all the new guys have them (i'm guessing ever since they revamped the story section, which i don't remember when that was)

[coral zodiac]

Yeah, they are adding directly the newest ones, and slowing adding the ones of older heroes

[glad ruin]

so they're being actively added to? hm

weird choices here and there, still. i would think they'd go by chronological order, but eg khasos has one and brutus doesn't, orthros but not athalia, twins or talene

hopefully they get to all of them, they're neat

they remind me of those crests that were on the faction section of the art book

[languid panther]

Silas and izold, athane, abaden, mae

Trying to think all of them off the top of my head

[vapid musk]

It can be kinda true?
Like Flora spring goddess, Daemia summer goddess and Alna winter goddess

[languid panther]

Mlinaaa

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/974081672972763186/1093269491829461032/trezbedparty.gif

They're just gonna add a fall goddess and name her daemeter

[hot plinth]

For sure...it wouldnt be too farfetched. Im sure once we get her data card it will explain more.

[glad ruin]

i do wish her story would explain more about the relationship between the seasons

maybe they'll get a union once all 4 are out

in 2031

[languid panther]

[hot plinth]

As i said we should get her data card next dollys corner

Like we got ginneas's this one

[viral pond]

Ok I can see why

[viral pond]

All wee need now is Fall/Autumn

[viral pond]

?

[viral pond]

?

What's going on here?

I mean I know we're talking about Daemia but what do thos reactions mean?

[dawn helm]

we were talking in dm and i wanted to show him the images here

[dawn helm]

does this satisfy your question? lol

[languid panther]

[austere tusk]

[languid panther]

This chat gets more schizoid every time I come in

And it's not even my fault

[coral zodiac]

nope

seems like I don't have all of them compiled at all

[hot plinth]

I got this gut feeling next awakened gb will be thoran

Idk why

[sand canopy]

this?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlzPnEfM4LE

[languid panther]

Yes those

Oh

[sand canopy]

[languid panther]

Oh no sniped

[hot plinth]

Oh please let that be a new hypo

5 winged beasts orb headed hypo lets go!

[sand canopy]

its new boss

[hot plinth]

Ohhh

That would be a cool hypo though

[hot plinth]

Maybe athalia isnt such a bitch

[sand canopy]

Character is a mask.
For the Mask Curator, human nature is simply a mixture of shadows and masks. Be it a noble virtue or despicable trait, it is simply different colors on a mask. His greatest joy lies in the search and extraction of faces with the most vivid expressions.
The Mask Curator is a breaker of spirits and engulfer of faith, with his cunning manifested by unexpected deception and distraction. He enjoys the process of peeling off a character mask to reveal the ugliness beneath, while the torture of his victims' souls gives him ultimate gratification.
The self-proclaimed "Mask Curator" takes pleasure in distilling the most distinctive faces from tortured souls, as part of his collection. He keeps his range minimal––only mockery, despair, terror, rage, and cunning are qualified to be his alter egos. These five masks even have their own consciousness: sometimes they stand against common foes as a united front, while at other times they may quarrel with one another.
The mask collection marks the final struggle of countless souls. After becoming part of the collection through bizarre and twisted means, the souls are held in a formless prison, forever.

[hot plinth]

Fuck i love athalia now....i mean i get her hatred for humans....but damn shes not such a bad diety

I think ultimately its true that non human dieties just need to travel the world if they hate humans. To understand what thier creator saw.

Meaning not ones like zaph and haelus

[languid panther]

So cuuuuute

@proper jasper

[proper jasper]

This design goes so hard

[proper jasper]

Thank you for sharing

[dawn helm]

wHO was gonna tell me that if you click on the newer characters in the portraits they move??

i just got jumpscared by Veithael

[proper jasper]

Lmaoo

That happened to me to with Thane a while ago

[glad ruin]

They seem to go back to alaro

Vyloris doesn’t get one I’m guessing because the animated portrait they seem to have on file isn’t based on the final artwork

[proper jasper]

Poor Swolise doesn't have one either

[languid panther]

I want more moving ones

[hot plinth]

So wager on next awakened faction@proper jasper ?

Order would determine mauler

But i got a sus it wo t be

[austere tusk]

Wilder

[hot plinth]

Ya think so who you hoping it be?

[austere tusk]

Respen so then they can do Khazard

[hot plinth]

Respen too new

[austere tusk]

But as a standalone something like saurus would be cool

[hot plinth]

Gotta think pre lucretia zaph

[austere tusk]

He's barely later than solise

[timber tide]

I think its gonna be Lyca, Kaz, Ulmus, or Tasi

Or Lorsan

[austere tusk]

I'm honestly not a fan of most wilders, especially the old ones

Ulmus could be cool

[timber tide]

I always liked Solise; she was my first ever carry

[hot plinth]

Solise super old what you mean lol

Feb 2020

Respen 2021

[timber tide]

Respen was after Lucre, so nah

[languid panther]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/974081672972763186/1093269491829461032/trezbedparty.gif

Lyca Lorsan or respen

I'm considering

[hot mesa]

Walker and desira have it tho...

Desira is probably the oldest I think

[glad ruin]

so Respen is 1 year newer and it's been almost a year since woke Solise. so he's the same age she was when she was woken.

i don't think ultimately theres going to be a hard pattern wrt years or whatever. they could always just do a new hero if they wanted to too

[languid panther]

Yeah I agree

I think they're going to go for a combination of nostalgia factor, what will make for a good updated kit, and what makes sense in the story

[hot plinth]

Not talking about awakend solise im talking about the pool of heroes being pre lucy.zaph anything after is generally too new

And solise OG solise was rleases feb of 2020

Respen was aug 2021

[glad ruin]

respen was january 2021

or february i guess

he was like the second hero added after i started playing

and im just saying thats an entirely arbitrary definition of new. hes as new now as solise was last year.

[proper jasper]

Depends imo. If next hero after stargazer wilder is a regular hero then I'd say Wilder. If not then Mauler

[proper jasper]

Belinda moment

[languid panther]

https://prnt.sc/lwKCOfn9-XsB

its okay hes just been delayed

to august

i have to wait 2 more months for he

[proper jasper]

[ruby gazelle]

[proper jasper]

No this is scrumpl

Build Thane

[languid panther]

Scrukbek

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/974081672972763186/1093269491829461032/trezbedparty.gif

hes 4* wdym

[ruby gazelle]

skurmbelele

[languid panther]

scfurmble

[proper jasper]

Ugh I want it to be next week, I need stargazer lore

[hot plinth]

What you think of awakened eiron

[proper jasper]

Not sure, there are so many other options for awakening and he's still somewhat decent in pve

[hot plinth]

you believe the recent voyage may be hinting at something?

[proper jasper]

Haven't played it yet, so can't say

[vapid musk]

Naw imo this vow didn't hint anything

It's literally just Eironn take lessons from Arden

[languid panther]

I wish they'd done awakened eironn last round

To complete the brutus and thane thing

[brave vigil]

I'm just holding out for Awakened Shemira

[austere tusk]

ashemira could be so cool or so lame depending on what direction they go

[brave vigil]

How so?

[austere tusk]

mainly talking about appearance

[proper jasper]

Lol I feel like that's the case for most awakenings

[languid panther]

Smoku I'm going to throw sticks and rocks

I just want whurral

I know they'll awaken some gb I don't care abt so I just want them to give trez his bf back

[proper jasper]

I hope it's Kelthur so Eli will be happy

[austere tusk]

kelthur could be cool

[proper jasper]

Fr, but I assume they've paid attention to the community

So it'll likely be awshem

Still I can dream lol

[timber tide]

Don't they still need to do wilder and mauler first if they're going in order?

[proper jasper]

Oh yeah, I'm not meaning like as next one lol

But when we do get it

[hot plinth]

Mauler thrn wilder would be the correctish order

But its all out of wack anyway lol

Celes > hypo > lb > mauler > wilder > gb

lb > hypo > celes > ?

First 3 pretty much flipped lol

[ruby gazelle]

harder

[languid panther]

you have brain dmg

[timber tide]

Oh, yeah, so there's no telling who's next

[hot plinth]

WIt a minute...

So we are about to get some stargazer lore

And there is a comet causing hypos to run a muck...

We may get dbl wilder

@proper jasper do we know whom is in this stargazer order

[proper jasper]

Nope, all we have is one mention in the lore book afaik

Unless you count the stargazer in the Tavern

[hot plinth]

hmmm ok its just intreseting that stargazer lore is comming about and we know in athalias lore there are the comets

we may get dbl wilder or this wilder is connected to the next awakened

[proper jasper]

We already know it's connected to the Void Realm through Awhalia's event, and the stargazers are specifically related to it, so next hero will definitely be tied to the storyline in some way I think

[dark heath]

inhale
Based on the Wiki and some knowlage of lore, some may be wrong, but HERE WE GO BOYS AFK RELATIONSHIP CHART
Also I did not include dimensional heros bc they have seperate lores mostly and sjdhfjsdh I wanted to cut the load as much as I could

[upper thicket]

PEGGY AND ROWAN DATED?!?

damn

[dark heath]

They were betrothed

[upper thicket]

thats info I didnt know

gonna have to read her story now lol

[dark heath]

So technically they are exes
Pretty sure she beat him up bc she didnt wanna get married

But they arent really friends either
Peggy hates Rowan, grumpy lil girl

[upper thicket]

oh-

fun

I focused more on the Rayne family line

[dark heath]

Think the saddest one is the union story of the family (Damion and his parents)
They meet Rowans father in the afterlife and just like
Help him move on and accept the fact he has lost his son
Its super sad but I love it

[upper thicket]

aw nooo that one is so saddd

;-;

[dark heath]

Yeah! I like how the graveborn arent just like
Ooo spooky dead people evillll

[upper thicket]

yeah

Baden was my fav for the longest time, still top 3 tbh

heck might still be

[dark heath]

Tbh lore wise I think my favorites are either Rowan, Theyowyn, or Saurus (butchering the names dont mind me)

Design wise though is a whole other can of worms

[upper thicket]

oof true

I loved the Desperation line when it came out as well

thats a good one

[dark heath]

Yess

[glad ruin]

mishka and oku were an easy blue

most of the single guys on the rop right could have something but i cant fault it. the web in the middle is real eye glazing stuff already

[languid panther]

Trez and nev

Titus and daemia

Alna and ginneas

All friends

Oscar and rosaline both work for the same noble woman

Anasta and brutus are mentor and mentee

Eluard Belinda Cecilia all coworkers

Palmer too

There's a relationship chart on reddit from like a year ago and it's already really fucking huge

Kinda difficult to make one of these

[proper jasper]

Nice work! Relationship charts are difficult to make for afk lol, even if you exclude all NPCs

[dark heath]

yeah

djflkj

[gray sparrow]

wait what ? Peggy and rowan are exes ? I don't remember this. Or rowan being the brother of a fodder

[austere tusk]

literally the first reply to the image

[dark heath]

they were betrothed, yes
and yeah! rowan is his brother, but if I am correct they never really interacted much even when younger
Rowan just kinda ran away and his brother went off to be a bard

[languid panther]

I wonder if there's an easier cleaner way to make one of these

[light wharf]

who is lore wise the strongest playable character in afk arena? or do we not know

[glad ruin]

depends on what you mean by strongest i guess. time travel as a base concept is pretty broken so you could go with those guys

[proper jasper]

Also that silhouette gives me wilder mae vibes

[languid panther]

its doesss

what if its just her

talene embarrassed her now she goes back to being a wilder and tries to pretend everythings cool now

[proper jasper]

NDHAJDBAJDB

Changes name to Talia and we're full circle

[languid panther]

ppl complained she wasnt in the game as a 4f before

well now she is

[dawn helm]

tbh didn't her wilder room have a telescope/observatory room? and i see star decorations in the frame

[hot plinth]

Well that makes me sadge.....Flora and Daemia dont really have a relationship

You would think her flora and Alna would all be sisters or something

@proper jasper am i worng thinking that?

[hot plinth]

no

maetrias version is no different except red and black

[proper jasper]

Yeah there is a telescope there, though she was only referred to as a historian, so Idk how related she is to them? Might just be a general "scientist-y backdrop" thing lol

[hot plinth]

we looking at the same rooms?

[proper jasper]

I think a lot of people think that way lol. In my opinion, they're at most as related as the elemental guardians are to each other. Which is like, not siblings but same kind if that makes sense

[proper jasper]

Yeah upper floor. There is one there

[hot plinth]

oh your right sorry lol

[hot plinth]

well her data card refers to dura as creator.....and in a sense you call a creator Mother or Father.....so i would assume the celestials dura created would be Sibilings

[proper jasper]

I suppose you can see it that way

I mean I call Uemiss and Framton brothers because Lutos created both lol

[hot plinth]

lol poor Daemia thinks mortals are annoying XD

[hot plinth]

exactly!

i personally believe when you create something with life....wether it be Artifical or Sentient or Mortal.....you are thier mother or father.....you gave them life as a parent would give to thier child. So if Dura created what are we up to 8 Celestials now that are created by her it would be safe to say they are all siblings. To me anyway lol.

same with hypos

[glad ruin]

qed framton is daemias uncle

[proper jasper]

What a family reunion that would be

Or wait, it's... great uncle or smth? I'm not an expert on family trees

Damn now I kinda want to do a cele/hypo family tree

[proper jasper]

Whelp

[austere tusk]

[proper jasper]

I know my notes are very legible

[austere tusk]

some of these lines are a little hard to follow. So the Ansiel and Dura offspring line only applies to athalia in the big section? And Uemiss only leads onto Udea and Zateus, not the whole thing?

[proper jasper]

Ashdhs yeah they're messy I know. Ansiel and Dura only applies to Athalia, I put a ? there because Athalia used to be a weapon and I assume Ansiel forges their weapons so... Uemiss only leads to Khazard since he made him hypo

It's only a sketch rn to roughly map it, but I wanted to throw it in here to see what people might have to say. If I actually make it I'll spend some time on layout and color-coding lol

[austere tusk]

[proper jasper]

[austere tusk]

oh I see the line to khazard now haha

[proper jasper]

I don't blame you it's pretty hard to see it ajdhsj

Ah shit I forgot to list Kane

And all those bosses

[austere tusk]

is there a reason athalia is where she is and not next to orthos?

[proper jasper]

Mostly because that's the order I remembered them in, but yeah placing her next to Orthros is a good idea

Doing separate lines leading down from Dura with Orthros/Athalia, the elemental guardians, and then the rest

As separate brackets

[bold bone]

Is uemis or annih leading the hypos?

[proper jasper]

There are different groups of hypos, so it depends on what hypos. Uemiss leads the reclaimers and his other creations I assume, while Annih leads those created by his negative emotions

I'm honestly not sure where to place Kane. Since he has a relationship to Alna, and his initial appearance in the early game story w the Barred Gate, I assume he's related to Annih (since it's said his creations led the forces and Kane is one of those leaders), but his lore also implied he was not initially hypogean so....

[bold bone]

Thanks

[proper jasper]

Yw

[ruby gazelle]

@languid panther can i reserve whane for next week

[languid panther]

Idk can you

[ruby gazelle]

[vapid musk]

Her story icon

[proper jasper]

Pretty

Safiya time

Yesssss

Just as I hoped, awSafiya void realm queen awakening

Please please please

[glad ruin]

Safiya is my favorite mauler so pleasex3 from me too

Then again i also wanted athalia awakened and the result was less than whelming…

[proper jasper]

Hopefully they'll pull off another great Mauler awakening story

[glad ruin]

Really into the new wilders design too

[proper jasper]

She's so pretty, I might hcp regardless of how good she is lol

[glad ruin]

Im tempted to hcp her but im also trying to build daemia and i dunno if i want to drop the diamonds

like her design more than daemia though…

[proper jasper]

Follow your heart

I really hope Salaki is involved in Safiya's awakening, please please

[sturdy nova]

FINALLLYYY PEACOCK WILDERRR

[proper jasper]

Noo I wanted to send Trezbed gif but it doesn't work

[rustic copper]

Are new hero connected to current events?

[rustic copper]

As I said. But. It's not too early?

[coral zodiac]

Nop

It's aw -> normal -> normal -> normal -> repeat, ~2 months minimum (same time as a hero ship)

[proper jasper]

This convo happens with every new awakened

[rustic copper]

Tamrus x rosa

[coral zodiac]

What?

[lapis stag]

Trishea - When can I record another interesting astrological phenomenon? Oh... Sorry, I didn't see you. This is for you. Take it as a gift for our encounter guided by the stars.

[hot plinth]

Eww safiya

[coral zodiac]

tbh, she deserves an awakening

[vapid musk]

@proper jasper

Idk why people surprised

Like we literally have meteorites and stuff

That connected to dark star realm

[hot plinth]

Naw not more then vurk or khasos

Dead heroes stay dead i guess

[coral zodiac]

I mean

They will get it but not now

[vapid musk]

It's all "it should be AwShemira" speculation again

[hot plinth]

If the game survives till then

[vapid musk]

[coral zodiac]

lol

[hot plinth]

Naw never said that lol but there are alot of dead heroes that could use some loving and safi isnt one of em

[coral zodiac]

wait why

I haven't seen Safiya hype since I barely started

[hot plinth]

Shes still used way more then those 2....whom aren used cept for fodder in tower if that

[vapid musk]

Vurk is still used in tower after rework wdym

[coral zodiac]

By that rule, same could be said of Talene and Athalia, or Thane and Belinda

[hot plinth]

Outside of tower im talking about

[vapid musk]

Well than Saph doesn't used somewhere outside tower

Lmao

[hot plinth]

Tf you smoking i ise her in pvp campaign rift and a few cr and nc

And so does others

Which is a far higher used rate over those 2

[vapid musk]

Didn't saw her in cr for a long damn time lmao

[hot plinth]

Just cause shes not top 100 krakens doesnt mean shes not used

[vapid musk]

She was kicked out of cr long time ago, there's like plenty much better options

[hot plinth]

Do you use cursed friends?

[vapid musk]

Uhm yes?

[hot plinth]

Theres plenty of alternate teams that use her so

[vapid musk]

if its alt 6-7 than lmao ok never going lower than bis-alt2/3

[hot plinth]

All im saying is shes used to say shes not is a false statement. Some people arent like us lol

But dont see vurk or khasos lol

[languid panther]

mlina kraken

using bis in cr

[hot plinth]

Smoll story

[languid panther]

thanks rai

[coral zodiac]

[vapid musk]

I'm just a smol meta fish

[hot plinth]

LETS GO VOID REALM

Speculation.....
This meteor thats causing a hypo comotion is from the void realm.

[vapid musk]

Called it from awathalia event

[hot plinth]

Was it? Did i miss something thrn?

[languid panther]

wrong

[coral zodiac]

And seeing this Aw Saf would make sense lol

[languid panther]

deep sea creature

ive figured theyd do safiya since the meteor thing was introduced

it just makes sense

[vapid musk]

^ this

[hot plinth]

Well dolly gives 2 huge clues meteor and sphinxes so unless its a brand new mauler i doubt its anything but safi

3 weeks out should be the end of athalia

[coral zodiac]

23 days

on global

I looked at it earlier segasr

[hot plinth]

Yup so should be awakend after this brave soul trying to traverse the void realm

Do we know whats in the void realm by chance lore book guys?

[glad ruin]

Lutos

[hot plinth]

I see

Makes me wonder how close the void realm is to Esperia then

[hot plinth]

I mean i am sure astral forms can travel super fast but she was in her astral form for what 10 espiria days which i assume is similar to our time.

[proper jasper]

Thank you sm

[hot plinth]

What you thunk @proper jasper

Is the void realm upon espiria or lightyears away

[proper jasper]

Thanks for sharing

[proper jasper]

Alternate dimension, but it seems to be... closer? In space?

[coral zodiac]

[hot plinth]

Idk if its an alternate dimension now or at least anymore...astral forms cant travel dimensions....and she was on the edge of the void realm observing dead stars

[proper jasper]

It is, read the lore site, it's explained there

[hot plinth]

Link please....but i dont believe its an alternate dimension anymore....thats prolly the threat now the void realm is closing in on our dimension now and devouring our cosmos sending these corrupted meteors that are aggrivating and creating new hypos

[proper jasper]

Did 6 years pass while we werent looking

[proper jasper]

Lmao I didn't think of that

Lilith at it again with their timeline shit

[glad ruin]

rowan can drink now. its canon

[languid panther]

shes from the future ig

[glad ruin]

also possible

[proper jasper]

She speaks so elegantly

[languid panther]

im love her

[glad ruin]

Though that would imply nothing status quo change-y is going to happen irt the void realm in the current storyline… thats spoilers

[proper jasper]

Ig it depends on whether or not these awakened storylines are really tied to the canon one, or just alternative ones

It'll be clear if we see an awhero or their old version in the future

[glad ruin]

Or if they release a new lore book. They should do that but make it good this time (give us everyone’s birthdays)

[proper jasper]

Nfbajfjak yeah

And not copypaste incorrect tl from the game

[glad ruin]

I guess awakening stuff not being really real would help journeys setting make a little more sense too

Just a little though shits fucked

[proper jasper]

At this point they're basically pulling a multi-dimension to fit more stories while not progressing the actual main story

[languid panther]

journey already doesnt make any sense
