nvm

final orchid
#

Lmao

granite ruin
#

Whoever made the Lore pages here

#

Oof

final orchid
#

Oof

granite ruin
#

Because they can and will change the lore ingame

dark heath
#

just check the wiki lol

granite ruin
#

Please fix Silvina or Isabella's

final orchid
#

Yeah but that requires effort vedan

granite ruin
#

One or the other

final orchid
#

I'm lazy

dark heath
#

trickster

granite ruin
#

They contradict each other.

dark heath
#

ur brain is ass

final orchid
#

Yes

#

You're right lmao

granite ruin
#

I'm upsetti by this

#

Since Silvina was orphaned as an infant

final orchid
#

πŸ€”

granite ruin
#

And Isabella's parents were murdered when she was a girl

#

It doesn't even say when Silvina died, it could have been during the bandit raid while she was elsewhere as "no one could fight the bandits"

dark heath
#

it be like that sometimes

granite ruin
#

So like

#

?????

final orchid
#

Idk lol

granite ruin
#

Isabella may/not even be dead or vampiric

#

She's just a weird ass necromantic witch

dark heath
#

vedan has 17 bat babies

#

and if not canon i will

#

write an essay on why it should be.

granite ruin
#

I'll take that essay on my desk by Monday afternoon

dark heath
#

in this essay i will

#

bat noises

#

anyway thats my essay

#

thank u for listening

granite ruin
#

Hi I don't read bat

#

Please transcribe

dark heath
#

well that's bat noises

granite ruin
#

Also how did Grezuhl become a Graveborn

#

Man literally too angry to die

#

No necromancer involved???

dark heath
#

no he was so angry he resurrected himself outta anger

granite ruin
#

How did he even find someone to raise Thoran

astral onyx
#

The god of death has influenced the world with his powers no matter how light so it isn't too unlikely that Grezhul managed to grasp onto that and come back to life

#

Baseless claim but whatever

zenith pond
#

He made a deal with something afaik. Lemme find his lore again

granite ruin
#

It's weird because no one actually did a spell on him as far as I knoe

#

If Ghosts can just raise people we should see a lot more Graveborn.

zenith pond
#

Traded his soul

granite ruin
#

That's interesting

#

I wonder if he could get it back via proper necromancy?

#

Since some people obviously still have their souls.

zenith pond
#

I like to think the Graveborn is both an entity and a faction. Because Niru is also mentioned muttering to some entity before he's executed

granite ruin
#

Niru did some weird rite of summoning

#

And he definitely wasn't instant

#

But he learned how to do it as well so thonk????

zenith pond
#

I used this concept in Garion's backstory

#

That there is... something helping the Graveborn along

granite ruin
#

Honestly though, does this mean all Graveborn have, or can obtain, the capacity to "turn" others?

zenith pond
#

Can obtain at least

granite ruin
#

Isabella talks to the dead but she isn't dead herself, but she did get the glow in her eyes just by using necromancy

astral onyx
#

There is only one known entity that can help Graveborns which is i keep mentioning but it still doesn't mean he is the only one capable of doing it so can't be too sure

granite ruin
#

I mean

#

Dura's tears do the exact same effect

#

Rejuvenate and reinvigorate

#

And the GB don't like Hypogeans overall

astral onyx
#

GB are just people that were cucked by life, not exactly the source of evil

granite ruin
#

cucked by life
Vedan.exe

dark heath
#

i agree on that duality

granite ruin
#

Vedan tosses a wrench in this because he never specifically died

dark heath
#

not inherently evil, imo.

granite ruin
#

In fact he's yeeting away from death with all his might

zenith pond
#

The Graveborn are against the Hypogean, and I feel like coming back from the dead, is spitting in Annih's face

astral onyx
#

When did i say die

#

Cucked just means you got screwed over

zenith pond
#

Telling him 'no' basically

granite ruin
#

Vedan literally had an ideal life

#

And everything he ever wanted

dark heath
#

i have actually not read vedan's lore

#

and i rly should

#

lmao

granite ruin
#

He wanted not to die and he got that too

#

Honorary GB admission

astral onyx
#

I'm gonna go have a read too

granite ruin
#

LOL

dark heath
#

literally someone with vedan in their name but has 0 idea about his lore lmao

granite ruin
#

.lorevedan

#

Bot machine broke.

dark heath
#

ill go read it later

#

since i will go now.

#

have a good time

granite ruin
#

I can copy paste from the internet lol

#

B safe

#

But yeah Vedan was a noble who was perfectly happy

#

He thought death was beneath him

#

Got some ancient tomes, kidnapped some kids

dark heath
#

πŸ‘

granite ruin
#

And wound up living forever (or at least becoming super hard to kill)

zenith pond
#

I feel like Graveborn is just an overall faction for 'undead'

#

Not like a specific race

astral onyx
#

So he used necromancy and rituals to ascend humanity?

zenith pond
#

Because you have Treants and fae in the wilders

granite ruin
#

Yeah Vedan never specifically died

zenith pond
#

Is vampire. I think Isa at this point may as well be the beginnings of a lich

granite ruin
#

He became a bunch of bats

#

Shemira also.... Maybe never died

astral onyx
#

Pretty sure necromancy falls under the god of death's realm but you are right in debunking my "all GB are cucked by life"

zenith pond
#

Yeah. But I think it's not so simple as there being only one kind of Graveborn. Garion and Grezhul could be one type, born from this last ditch deal made. Niru another for having performed a ritual before death, Shemira and Daimon likely the same.

granite ruin
#

Niru just changed her

zenith pond
#

Mmmm, no I think she died, because it mentions her last days living or something somewhere in the beginning

granite ruin
#

They also edited her lore and I have not read the new entry closely

#

I have the old one thankfully

#

A soul forged in sorrow with nothing left to her in the world. This was Shemira in the final months of her life. Her husband had been a renowned healer, but her adoration and respect for him had gone out the window when she heard about the horrific acts of which he'd been accused. Her love soured such that when his execution came, she felt more anger than sadness. Niru had left her alone to care for their son in an uncaring world.
It wasn't long after Niru's execution that the fevers took hold on her boy, Silvestre. Had Niru been present, Shemira was sure that he could've done something. She did everything she could, calling on all the best remaining physicians of Esperia and keeping vigil with silent prayers at the child's bedside. Her efforts, however, were not enough. After his burial, she felt as if she had nothing left to live for. There was no longer any reason to go about her days as she had before. She began spending almost every waking hour next to the grave of her son, sometimes filling the cemetery with a haunting wail, sometimes staring trancelike at the headstone for hours on end. She stopped taking food more often than not, and her face became hollow, her expression blank.
One day as she sat beside the grave, watching the last weak rays of sunlight kiss her son's name carved in the stone, she heard her name. She couldn't locate the source of the voice, but it seemed to be right next to her.

zenith pond
#

.loreshemira

zenith pond
#

The old lore

#

But I can go check her current in-game

astral onyx
#

There has been no mention of a "living" graveborn so it isn't wrong to call them all undead

#

Lemme recheck though

#

I could be wrong

#

Or someone can correct me

granite ruin
#

Vedan is not dead

#

His entire lore is "I don't want to die"

#

.lorevedan

#

Curses not in the bot

zenith pond
#

Vedan has never explicitly died

#

And it only has some heros, Fran

granite ruin
#

Isabella also never died

#

She just started talking to angry dead people

zenith pond
#

Yeah

granite ruin
#

And doing crazy magic

#

So "Graveborn" is really weird lol

#

Because if I didn't know the lore I would assume Annih's Hypogeans were the Graveborn (born of death)

#

But that's also not the case.

zenith pond
#

Again I think it's a matter of race within the faction

#

Like there are elves and Treants in the Wilders

#

Graveborn may just mean any undead who opposes the Hypogeans

granite ruin
#

I wonder if this means we'll get Hypogeans opposing Annih in the GB?

#

Or that that's basically not Grezuhl.

zenith pond
#

Who knows. Maybe.

#

I still like to think there's an entity making deals with dead and dying who are into necromancy, or just necromancers in general.

forest mural
#

Like a higher power, so to speak?

zenith pond
#

Or a powerful spirit of some kind

granite ruin
#

Dura, smoking a pipe and playing ghost blackjack "Hey. Hey wanna go mess with Annih?"

zenith pond
#

Akdjsjsjfja

light aurora
#

so far only Thoran looks undead to me

#

rest only has grey/blue skin x)

granite ruin
#

Thoran Silvina Grezuhl Niru and Shemira are true undead

zenith pond
#

You'll want to read the others lore

#

Niru was excecuted and came back

granite ruin
#

Isabella and Vedan are ?????

zenith pond
#

Who knows about thwm

#

Them*

light aurora
#

reading the lore, and looking at them is different :p

granite ruin
#

Fair game

zenith pond
#

This is a lore discussion channel tho

light aurora
#

related though

#

πŸ˜„

granite ruin
#

I mean all of the GB sprites ingame have sharp teeth if they show teeth

light aurora
#

Isabella looks like a mini dragon

granite ruin
#

Shemira Ferael and Isabella have closed mouths/no visible teeth

#

At first I thought Vedan just had fangs

zenith pond
#

Grey skin is dead skin thi

granite ruin
#

It's all fang

zenith pond
#

Tho*

#

And what is undead supposed to look like, just curious? Zombies aren't the only kind of u dead?

#

Undead*

forest mural
#

Vampires could be a good example of undead still looking human

light aurora
#

a vampire is an undead, but doesnt necessarily have gray skin

forest mural
#

Lol

light aurora
#

Han Rainfire xD

granite ruin
#

In this world the undead are partially rotting though

#

Some are at least, as one of the bulletin board missions is to specifically get embalming materials for some of them who have issues

zenith pond
#

Yeet

granite ruin
#

So there may be stronger or weaker classes

light aurora
#

the only rotting one is Thoran xD

granite ruin
#

Not necessarily true

zenith pond
#

You can rot internally before it shows on the outside. Also you don't know what's under everyone's clothes.

light aurora
#

other ones look fine (cant say since cant see underneath their clothes)

granite ruin
#

Laughs in Niru

#

Honestly he's dessicating

zenith pond
#

So you can't definitively say

granite ruin
#

....Oh I just had an idea

#

Ecx

zenith pond
#

But lore says they are undead so they are

#

Yee

granite ruin
#

Did they say how Niru was killed?

astral onyx
#

Executions were usually beheaded shit

zenith pond
#

No but I imagine by hanging,

astral onyx
#

Especially since she SAW his execution

granite ruin
#

Yeah if he was hanged

light aurora
#

or burned

granite ruin
#

That explains the fucking neck

zenith pond
#

L O L

granite ruin
#

Lmao

zenith pond
#

Brb yall

granite ruin
#

"I think I'll keep it! Good fashion choice!"

astral onyx
forest mural
#

I like the idea of stronger and weaker classes of undead. Like strong magic users would have better control over their state of undeadness

granite ruin
#

Niru for sure can make at least stronger undead

zenith pond
#

Concept:Niru wearing those neck extension rings and shit

granite ruin
#

He raised his child (dead for quite a while) in great condition

#

And Shemira is in great shapr

zenith pond
#

Yeah and not to mention powerwise Shemira is nuts

forest mural
#

Also, related to manner of death, how they would appear afterwards, such as Niru and execution, vs Shemira just crossing over

granite ruin
#

...Now I really wanna know what the ritual Isabella did was

#

LOL

light aurora
#

which is weird though

#

if we have to take Shemira's name to its true meaning, its the ritual of watching over the body of a deceased person from the time of death until burial (thanks google)

forest mural
#

That's neat

light aurora
#

good job dev's x)

forest mural
#

Yeah really

#

I wonder how many names are like that

granite ruin
#

Not that many, but Shemira probably had more attention to her lore

#

Being a higher rarity

#

...Which sucks because a certain Sphinx contradicts herself between personal and library lore.

light aurora
#

Niru's meaning is having great strenght and power

granite ruin
#

Chapter 8 agrees but-

#

On the power scale Niru's middling

#

Niru Vedan and Silvina are "eh" for power.

light aurora
#

Hmmm... everytime a hero dies, he takes power from them

#

becomes stronger

zenith pond
#

I've seen my Niru drop some very, very humbling damage numbers, but I'm still low level

light aurora
#

i do believe that if he gets to become ascended, he'd be a monster, thus why he must be kept at legendary level πŸ˜ƒ

granite ruin
#

Lol

#

I am greatly looking forward to the synergy between Niru Shemira and Daimon

forest mural
#

Silly question perhaps, but I'm still new: lower tier heroes can get bumped up, st from legendary cap to ascended cap?

granite ruin
#

If their tier isn't ascended they can never go above L+

forest mural
#

Eh I'm not asking it right gimme a sec

#

Like has it happened that the devs promoted a previously legendary hero to ascension tier

granite ruin
#

Not at this time

#

It might in the future

#

But there's no precedent.

forest mural
#

Ok, ty!

#

Was imaging a lore that caused them to ascend, doing something so legendary that it causes them to ascend

granite ruin
#

Homebrew lore and fan fiction are also both welcome here?

forest mural
#

Good to know Ty ^-^

light aurora
#

yes they are

zenith pond
#

Oh yeah I babble about my OC in here all thetime

light aurora
#

fan fiction, whatever comes to your mind, as long as related to afk arena

forest mural
#

It was kinda related to Isabella being ascended but Silvina not, and Silvina being "true" graveborn while Isabella never died

granite ruin
#

Silvina also failed to take on one noble

#

While Isabella slaughtered an entire village then gave some noble schmuck the keys to immortality.

forest mural
#

Good point

#

That's where the lore would come in, making her something greater than her current self. Hogan makes me think like that too, but lore wise it's like he's gone as far as he can

#

I like "noble schmuck" btw lol

final orchid
#

Lmao

#

Vedans a dick but that's y I love him

dark heath
#

Same

final orchid
#

He has pin dick energy

#

β„’

dark heath
#

Vedan: I AM A LUXURY YOU CANNOT AFFORD!

final orchid
#

Expensive pin dick energy lmfao

light aurora
#

lmfao xD

forest mural
#

LOL

dark heath
#

Also Vedan: excessive bat noises

light aurora
#

sonar echo noises

forest mural
#

so he squeaks

light aurora
#

thats why he just starts flying around randomely

#

doesnt really know who's the target

dark heath
#

He squeaks when no one is around

final orchid
#

Lol

dark heath
#

Niru caught it on tape once.

#

Although he promised not to show Shemira.

zenith pond
#

Kskdkskdks

dark heath
#

Being called "cute" would have ruined any confidence Vedan has.

#

He is above "cutesy".

#

He is legendary

#

And legendary people do not squeak.

light aurora
#

the afk arena barney stinson himself

dark heath
#

Whomst

light aurora
#

"how i met your mother" ?

#

the tv show

dark heath
#

Whomst

light aurora
#

nevermind if you dont know who that is x)

dark heath
#

Vedan knows no one but himself.

light aurora
#

β€œIt's going to be legen...wait for it...and I hope you're not lactose-intolerant cause the second half of that word is...dairy!”

dark heath
#

It's for his own safety.

#

He wouldnt want anyone else tape recording when he squeaks.

forest mural
#

Lmao Deimer

dark heath
#

Vedan: hits his toe

forest mural
#

Hmmm. Isabella turns on Vedan, releasing never heard before recordings of squeaking pin **** energy

dark heath
#

Vedan:

#

Vedan's inner organs that control his speech: SQUEAK

#

Nah isa and Silv know he squeaks

#

Although if they tell, vedan wont make their favorite meals ever again

forest mural
#

Silv eats?

dark heath
#

So they dont do it

#

Well idk

#

In his lore she does

forest mural
#

Before she dies anyway

dark heath
#

No its after

light aurora
#

she eats rotten worms ?

#

or regular worms ?

dark heath
#

No

#

Blood pudding, prob

#

That would be vedans fav at least

light aurora
#

but silv is not a vampy, is she ?

dark heath
#

🀷

forest mural
#

No just grave born, from what I understand of her lore

light aurora
#

she got the same type of horns than isa

granite ruin
#

Silvina is a Graveborn zombie

#

Not a vampire

#

Iunno what the fuck Isabella is

#

It's questionable whether or not Silvina and Isabella are human

light aurora
#

"The Taken Soul" and "The Taken Breath"

#

something looks related here

granite ruin
#

Lol

#

Isabella never lost her soul though

#

She does deal with souls

forest mural
#

But why does she have a tail?

light aurora
#

so whats the thing hanging under her dress ? idabella

forest mural
#

Lmao

light aurora
#

hey Rainfire, stop reading my mind

granite ruin
#

That's

#

What I meant

#

Nothing said Silvina and Isabella started as humans

forest mural
#

We just assume it

granite ruin
#

Why tho

#

This world has wilders and maulers

final orchid
#

Probably bc vedan is was human, but ur right it makes more sense to assume isa and sil werent originally human

light aurora
#

seems to me like they were originally wilders

forest mural
#

Their village was on the fringes of civilization

#

Maybe a yet unknown race

light aurora
#

dark elves

granite ruin
#

Inb4 hybrids

light aurora
#

Silvina was a wilder assassin and Isabella a wilder mage

#

Isa went crazy shit for dealing with too much magic

#

and Silv just got overwhelmed by the number of deaths, got consumed and turned to the graveborn side

forest mural
#

As kids they had a pretty idyllic life, till the "incident"

granite ruin
#

Which is contradicted by Silvina's lore but

#

Thanks for writing hers to conflict so baaad

light aurora
#

a lore is just a lore, you actually never know the truest reallest story x)

zenith pond
#

Has anyone checked their lore since the updatem

forest mural
#

I could see a peaceful wilder spin, not wanting to stay in the wood so the village develops

granite ruin
#

Lemme login

zenith pond
#

Since they slid Silvestre's name change to Daimon under the table

granite ruin
#

Still directly conflicting Isabella and Arcanist's guild

forest mural
#

Yeah wow silv's contradicts Isabella big time

light aurora
#

The reason why Eironn is here now, is because he is in search of his long lost sister, Silvina, whose name was [name]

zenith pond
#

Yep. Still wildly conflicting there. Strange.

light aurora
#

humanity is just a way of expressing a feeling

#

not as being human

#

right right ?

forest mural
#

Nicely put

granite ruin
light aurora
#

"seems like Brutus lost all of his maulerity" seems oddly weird to me

#

or gravebornity

#

xD

granite ruin
#

It would make the most sense if Silvina went after Raine on Vedan's order, but her lore contradicts all three of these.

zenith pond
#

Humanity comes from humane, not human

final orchid
#

I've always wondered that, like the term "humanity" came about in our human only society, how is that term viewed in worlds with multiple intelligent races? Do they still use humanity? Do the other races consider that speciesist? Is that a thing? Do they have a different word they use?

zenith pond
#

Iirc anyways

final orchid
#

I've been on the internet for as long as I remember and I only just figured out what lirc means lmao

granite ruin
#

Lol

final orchid
#

Brain still at 1% capacity

forest mural
#

I was about to Google it...

zenith pond
#

Mood

granite ruin
#

But yeah it upsets me how botched Silvina's lore is

zenith pond
#

It means 'If I Remember Correctly'

forest mural
#

Thanks

granite ruin
#

I really hope that she gets fixed later

#

:C

zenith pond
#

Me too

final orchid
#

Oh I lol I guessed the meaning wrong

zenith pond
#

Rip

light aurora
#

how does it contradict ?

final orchid
#

I thought It was 'like I rly care' or something like that bc 1%brain capacity

light aurora
#

they are both orphans

granite ruin
#

Multiple places

light aurora
#

and they were adopted by the same parents

#

then silvina went on a diffrent path

zenith pond
#

But yeah I think humanity comes from humane, as in compassion, etc, rather than human

light aurora
#

i mean thats how i see it

zenith pond
#

Isabella's backstory mentions her and her sister having playtime and stuff together

forest mural
#

Like silv orphaned at birth and trained to kill doesn't fit with playing in meadows with her sister

light aurora
#

when they were kids

zenith pond
#

Also Vedan in his lore is the one to teach her to fight

granite ruin
#
  1. Silvina, the older sister, was orphaned as an infant, but Isabella played with her happily in the meadows
  2. When raiders attacked their village, no one could fend off the raiders. Silvina was apparently doing jack shit.
  3. Silvina was apparently raised to be an assassin, but Vedan's lore specifically states he taught her to be a killer.
alpine barn
#

I figured they mixed up 'Infancy' with 'Childhood'

granite ruin
#

Also interesting though not a direct contradiction

#

Isabella was a necromancer by the time Silvina died, or she had to have been.

forest mural
#

By Isabella's lore silvina wouldn't be able to do anything yet, but she's how they both escaped

granite ruin
#

Yet it was some fucking rando who raised Silvina

light aurora
#

they do mention "in her earliest years" on Isa's lore

granite ruin
#

Silvina's lore is full of holes with her guild, Vedan, and her sister

forest mural
#

Is that something we could bring to their attention?

granite ruin
#

Maybe?

dark heath
#

i mean

#

the pin for this channel says

#

''ideas the devs might take interest in''

#

or something like that

granite ruin
#

We could try suggesting in #classic-suggestions for more lore and clarity in the case of Silvina, who specifically goes against other units' lore.

dark heath
#

i doubt they will read this tho lol

light aurora
#

they should make a specific chan for lore suggestions

dark heath
#

this is ltierally

forest mural
#

I don't think it'd get proper attention tho

dark heath
#

a lore discussion

#

bro.

granite ruin
#

^

zenith pond
#

[LORE] Fix silvina's contradictions or explain

#

LOL

dark heath
#

#

like cobra did

granite ruin
#

You wanna submit it or shall I ECX?

dark heath
#

anyway anyone wanna see abraxas' hair style

#

i finally figured it out

zenith pond
#

I'm sick I can't brain good

#

I wouldn't even an to word it all right

granite ruin
#

Implying I brain good.

zenith pond
#

Better than me when I'm spitting up absolute garbage

forest mural
#

I hope you feel better. Garbage can't possibly taste good

#

What does ecx mean?

dark heath
#

that's cobra's name

granite ruin
forest mural
#

Ah derp lol

dark heath
#

anyone wanna read my boy's abraxas' lore

#

(its not long)

forest mural
#

Go for it

dark heath
#

its not much lore honestly

#

lol

#

just stuff i noted

#

but its readable

zenith pond
#

Skids in

#

I am Cobra/Ecx

dark heath
#

excalibur the cobra

granite ruin
#

You are loved

#

Is what you are

zenith pond
#

That's sweet af

dark heath
#

πŸ‘€

zenith pond
#

Vorelord gave me the nickname Cobra so there I am

dark heath
#

feafafa

zenith pond
#

Ecxcabre is my in-game name

granite ruin
#

Also I put

severe plume
#

Hee

granite ruin
#

....Oh god I had a thought

forest mural
#

Vedan I had to request access to that

granite ruin
#

Silvina's lore would make her older than Raine

dark heath
#

huh?

#

ill fix that

granite ruin
#

On top of that the necromancer nearby is probably/possibly the one who almost rekt Fawkes

dark heath
#

it should work now.

granite ruin
#

How the hell old are Silv and Isa???

severe plume
#

Uh

#

Good question

dark heath
#

12 and 9 according to some peeps

final orchid
#

Silv looks in her teens maybe 13-16

granite ruin
#

Nothing ingame supplants that

#

Silv tried to kill Raine

#

And Raine was younger than Silv

final orchid
#

Hmm

granite ruin
#

That's why she faltered

#

"I could have been happy like this"

final orchid
#

Raines looks older than her tho

granite ruin
#

Silvina died

final orchid
#

O right

granite ruin
#

Shortly after trying to take on Raine's father

#

But the bigger issue

#

Is Isabella not aging

final orchid
#

So she's like babette in the dark brother hood eternally in the body of a child

forest mural
#

@dark heath that was interesting

granite ruin
#

Did she get hit with the immortal stick too when she gave it to Vedan?

dark heath
#

thanks.

#

u wanna read makai's?

#

that one is actually thought out properly lol

forest mural
#

Sure

dark heath
#

i still gotta map out their locations tho πŸ‘€

severe plume
#

I should make an oc unu

im gonna make a map

tbf i could do that rn

and i should

granite ruin

Lol

#

Tis I!

#

She who speaks in poorly planned terms!

dark heath
#

whomst

forest mural
#

LOL

dark heath
#

OH

granite ruin
#

But yeah that's

#

An interesting thought

#

Man Silvina's lore fucks a lot of stuff up

thin thistle
#

niru

#

shemira married

#

wtf

zenith pond
#

Yep! And they have a son.

thin thistle
#

what

#

who is that

granite ruin
#

He should be added ingame soon

zenith pond
#

It's in her story, you can see it from the hero portraits screen in game

granite ruin
#

He used to be named Silvestre but they ninja patched his name to Damon earlier today.

thin thistle
#

silvina/silvestre look similar

granite ruin
#

Yep, but the bar lady talks about a Graveborn now.

#

The summon bar lady*

thin thistle
#

no i meant the names look similar

zenith pond
#

Might be part of the reason for changing it, the similarity in names

granite ruin
#

All other factions have 8 characters

thin thistle
#

yeah

granite ruin
#

Er, 10

#

GB has 8

#

It would make sense to release two for GB

dark heath
#

would merfolk be considered amphibian?

thin thistle
#

reptiles

granite ruin
#

Depends on the mer

dark heath
#

well what other word do i use

thin thistle
#

amphibians

zenith pond
#

No, they'd be fish tbh. Probably related to like

#

Lungfish

#

Since they can breathe air

final orchid
#

Fishian

dark heath
#

okay thanks cobra

#

ur very smart

final orchid
#

I'm not very smart

Vedan I really liked Makai

dark heath
#

would ''Poisonous Lands' make a good geographical name for a region inhabited mostly by lamia?

#

owo thanks rain

thin thistle
#

why would they be poisonous? are lamia poisnous?

dark heath
#

theyre snakes

zenith pond
#

Venomous maybe?

dark heath
#

some can be poisonous

#

im confused now

thin thistle
#

arent lamia half woman half snake tho

dark heath
#

i use it as a general term

#

for snaketaurs

#

i dotn care for the specifics of it

forest mural
#

I always saw lamia as more of a siren type

thin thistle
#

yeah what rain said

zenith pond
#

It varies on mythology

#

They're fictional

forest mural
#

True

dark heath
#

well theyre snake and cobra taurs

#

so uwuw shush

thin thistle
#

yeah but they never have the head of the snake

zenith pond
#

Petition to rename snaketaurs to serpentaurs

thin thistle
#

the snake is always the bottom half

dark heath
#

thats valid cobra

forest mural
#

Always a woman too

zenith pond
#

Ok but they're fictional they can be whatever

forest mural
#

Yup

zenith pond
#

Lamia gets the idea across tho

granite ruin
#

Lamia is fine.

forest mural
#

Yeah. And an afk lamia race sounds pretty interesting

#

Male and female

thin thistle
#

lamia is all women

granite ruin
#

Not always

forest mural
#

I know

granite ruin
#

There are mythical male snakefolk too

#

Lamia is the general catchall

zenith pond
#

Eyup

granite ruin
#

We don't have a cool DND name for them, like half spiders are Driders

dark heath
#

is serpentious

#

a word

granite ruin
#

...No

dark heath
#

lmao

#

ok

zenith pond
#

Yuan-ti is a DnD serpent race

granite ruin
forest mural
#

It looks like it should be lol

granite ruin
#

O Yeet I deadass forgot

thin thistle
#

im pretty sure that lamia can only be women tho

#

hold up

#

imma search this up

zenith pond
#

But lamia is a common word used over all

forest mural
#

That's why I specified afk race... They could be expanded on a lot

zenith pond
#

Ye

thin thistle
#

it wasnt even a race

dark heath
#

I got A on my geography test for a reason

#

and it shows

thin thistle
#

lamia is a female demon

#

who eats children

#

huh

zenith pond
#

Cool this is fiction and lamia is used in many media sources as a catch all snake term

#

*snake person

dark heath
#

cobra

#

whatcha think of my

#

geography art

granite ruin
#

The initial Greek lamia was one woman

thin thistle
#

what the hell are cobrataurs

light aurora
#

venomous lands, looks like a flatenned slime

granite ruin
#

Medusa was one sister of a tribe of Gorgons

#

But Medusa is a race now

#

Things evolve over time.

dark heath
#

i just took the word from centaur

#

and put cobra

dense plume
#

oh that's a nice idea :0
also aren't "serpentaurs" called naga as well? i might be wrong

granite ruin
#

They are

dark heath
#

i guess?

#

naga are more water associated

#

rather than dessert

granite ruin
#

Mmm

dense plume
#

ah I see

granite ruin
#

Dessert

dark heath
#

are you gonna mock my spelling

forest mural
#

Desert nagas

granite ruin
#

Yes

light aurora
#

wait how is medusa a race now ?

dark heath
#

its not?

severe plume
#

She isnt

thin thistle
#

wouldnt cobrataurs just be horses withs anke uper boddies

zenith pond
#

Lots of games call it a race tho

granite ruin
#

Medusa has been a fictional race for ages

#

She used to just be one lady

dark heath
#

uh no.

#

a cobrataur would be a human with snake lower body.

#

lmao

light aurora
#

she is just a one lady indeed

thin thistle
#

then thats a lamia

granite ruin
#

Lamia also used to be one lady

dark heath
#

kaluh can yo

She also got cursed

#

Sips tea Good thing my OC is a half Breed mutt

zenith pond
#

Probably a troll

dark heath
#

no i just think theyre misinformed on whats going on

granite ruin
#

Well she's half elemental

#

Not a troll

zenith pond
#

Anyways I'm doodling Garion next to Niru and. Hm. Wow. He's tol.

forest mural
#

Was also thinking troll

granite ruin
#

Which one

severe plume
#

We're talking about kalu

#

Not the oc

granite ruin
#

I assume both but

dark heath
#

whos the tall one

#

also u never specified how tall garion is

zenith pond
#

Both are but Garion is taller and I might rethink this

dark heath
#

😦

granite ruin
#

Also my HC is Niru has a freakishly long neck because he was hanged and it distended

#

And no one can convince me otherwise

forest mural
#

Hahaha

zenith pond
#

Garion is like. Just shy of Brutus's height but I imagine Brutus is tall af

dark heath
#

abraxas is still taller if u think about it πŸ€”

zenith pond
#

And niru I figure is just a tall lanky human

light aurora
#

to me he was burnt, and got them clothes to hide the burn marks

granite ruin
#

Ah yes.

#

The best way to hide burn marks

#

An open midriff

light aurora
#

and the robe to hide his bones x)

granite ruin
#

Showing his abs

dark heath
#

pkfpafkaeo

#

fran

zenith pond
#

She's rite tho

dark heath
#

i know lol

zenith pond
#

I don't think he was burned, though, to be burnt to death would be total immolation

granite ruin
#

I doubt, even if Shemira grew to resent Niru, she would have watched him burn

#

And she did watch him die

light aurora
#

he casted a spell before being completly burned

granite ruin
#

He cast it in his cell

#

Came back a few days later

#

Skulked around a few months

light aurora
#

dang, another barney stinson quote comes to my mind now xD

dark heath
#

hey cobra

zenith pond
#

I like to think in those months he was gathering his strength

dark heath
#

get me a full body png of ur garion

#

im gonna make something

granite ruin
#

Like it was a good gap of time between "Niru died" and "Niru raised his son and turned his wife"

light aurora
#

β€œJesus waited three days to come back to life. It was perfect! If he had only waited one day, a lot of people wouldn't have even heard he died. They'd be all, "Hey Jesus, what up?" and Jesus would probably be like, "What up? I died yesterday!" and they'd be all, "Uh, you look pretty alive to me, dude..." and then Jesus would have to explain how he was resurrected, and how it was a miracle, and the dude'd be like "Uhh okay, whatever you say, bro..." And he's not gonna come back on a Saturday. Everybody's busy, doing chores, workin' the loom, trimmin' the beard, NO. He waited the perfect number of days, three. Plus it's Sunday, so everyone's in church already, and they're all in there like "Oh no, Jesus is dead", and then BAM! He bursts in the back door, runnin' up the aisle, everyone's totally psyched, and FYI, that's when he invented the high five. That's why we wait three days to call a woman, because that's how long Jesus wants us to wait.... True story.”

zenith pond
#

He probably had to recover from raising himself

granite ruin
#

I'm not sure that belongs in this channel @light aurora

light aurora
#

no offense to anyone here, its just a quote

granite ruin
#

It's kinda entirely off topic

light aurora
#

well praise the lord i mentioned it's just a quote x)

forest mural
#

There's no telling what that the spell actually did to bring him back, too, tho he looks like he was in the coffin for awhile

zenith pond
#

Anyways so Garion is just shorter than Brutus and in my head Brutus is like massive

final orchid
#

Brutus big boi

dark heath
#

hey

#

cobra

#

pssst

granite ruin
#

Niru heard someone/something talking back

dark heath

Yup

full body garion png pls.

final orchid
dark heath
#

if u can give.

zenith pond
#

I'm making Garion like 8'10" because I think Brutus could easily be nine feet

granite ruin
#

He was casting small spells on the battlefield too.

dark heath
#

im.

#

sorry

zenith pond
#

I thought I sent one in art?

dark heath
#

no

final orchid
#

B I g b o y

dark heath
#

that one wasnt transparent

zenith pond
#

The one from before?

dark heath
#

need transp background.

zenith pond
#

Oh I can't get it transparent anymore. Saved over it after I got the headshot

granite ruin
#

Graveborn can't come back without a body intact as far as we know

dark heath
#

w

#

what do you mean

granite ruin
#

Also you can just make it transparent yourself

dark heath
#

i dont wanna put hours where its not neccessary ok fran

#

but you dont have the full body file anymore?

light aurora
severe plume
#

Arm

zenith pond
#

I do but I saved it with a white background and got rid of the Krita file because it takes up room

dark heath
#

w

#

why woudl you remove it

zenith pond
#

Because I don't need it?

dark heath
#

you dont need garion??

zenith pond
#

??

dark heath
#

do you not save ur

#

files.

#

when you draw?

zenith pond
#

Yeah I saved it but as a PNG

#

With a white background.

dark heath
#

oh.

#

okay.

zenith pond
#

I didn't save the layered versiin

dark heath
#

well ill have do then

light aurora
#

sorry to interrupt, so yeah, graveborns are not intact x)

zenith pond
#

You don't have to do anything, don't worry about it if it's a lot of trouble

#

It is technically, by definition, intact

dark heath
#

well i really wanna make the silhouette

zenith pond
#

His parts are there, the skin is just a little funy

dark heath
#

so im doing it

granite ruin
#

No no, what I mean is they do need a body @light aurora

light aurora
#

intact means no damage to me though

granite ruin
#

Skeletons are a body most definitely

#

I'm intact but I can't use my lower half

light aurora
#

oh, wrong use of words, ma bad

granite ruin
#

If you tried to raise someone you need a skeleton

zenith pond
#

Also if Niru had been burnt, his whole body would have been Burt a robe wouldn't have covered it

granite ruin
#

Burning to death typically won't

zenith pond
#

Burnt*

granite ruin
#

Stop at just them dying

#

They buried the body so they also didn't think to full on cremate him

forest mural
#

Hmm. Wouldn't restoring the dead imply a restoration of body, to an extent

zenith pond
#

I can see that angle

#

If he was burnt it could be why it took him so long to rise

light aurora
#

Btw, is it really his abs showing ? not just some tight skin clothe ?

zenith pond
#

And then take so long to come bring Daimon back

granite ruin
#

It's most definitely abs

zenith pond
#

I'm pretty sure. I grab the exact same color from there as from his face

granite ruin
#

Niru is awful for consistency between his sprite and his artwork

light aurora
#

looks darker to me though

granite ruin
#

But that's intacr

#

Intact*

zenith pond
#

And you can see his ribs like he's starved

#

Exaggeration there

#

Nah I picked a lot of colors while drawing him

#

Those we're the same

granite ruin
#

When he brought Silvestre (Damon) back, he was fine

zenith pond
#

We're*

light aurora
#

thats the thing, doesnt seem like ribs to me, the way its shaped looks like the extension of his upper body armor

granite ruin
#

Nope! He just has his abs hanging out

#

His skirt also isn't a skirt

zenith pond
#

Eyup

granite ruin
#

It's pants

forest mural
#

I vote ribs imo

zenith pond
#

I hate that. It's a skirt

granite ruin
#

Lmao

forest mural
#

Lol

zenith pond
#

In my heart

granite ruin
#

I hate it too

#

BUT FOR THE LORE

final orchid
#

Lmao

zenith pond
#

But for the in-game sprite, yes

#

It's like baggy ass pants

granite ruin
#

In game sprites on some characters are hilariously bad

zenith pond
#

So bad....

granite ruin
#

Niru and Fawkes are both fucked up

zenith pond
#

Poor Fawkes missing half his fugging coat

light aurora
#

or maybe thats how it is meant to be

zenith pond
#

Nnnnope

light aurora
#

half human, half dead

zenith pond
#

He's not half dead

light aurora
#

well, he's got a demon inside or iono

zenith pond
#

He's got a parasite insert Venom joke

granite ruin
#

Fawkes is traumatized

#

Can't even dress himself

zenith pond
#

Skfkakfje

light aurora
#

the parasite took over half of his body, and decided to tear that coat

granite ruin
#

Or my personal theory

zenith pond
#

Its only in his hand

granite ruin
#

The other half of the coat is in the coffin

#

It's a blankie for Brutus

zenith pond
#

Edjskajd

granite ruin
#

When he goes naptime

#

Get. In. The. Box.

light aurora
#

yeah, and the hand can tear clothes :p

granite ruin
#

The ghost is not autonomous

#

He's just vaguely haunted

zenith pond
#

His lore mentions him having to learn to control it

granite ruin
#

^

light aurora
#

yeah, just "learn"

#

not a 100% control

granite ruin
#

I mean if he can't stop himself from ripping his clothes I really doubt he'd willingly go with Raine to recruit Mirael

#

For bounty hunting

zenith pond
#

Yeah that's. A liability

granite ruin
#

His clothes also aren't ripped

#

Just literally pieces are gone from the sprite

light aurora
#

its just his clothes, its not like he's ripping apart his friends either

zenith pond
#

Iirc his card art has both sides of the cloak

granite ruin
#

So unless the ghost hand is cutting and sewing his clothes while he sleeps to make him lose credibility

forest mural
#

Learns to control the thing and use it as a source of power~

#

That's a lot of restraint which would make him "people safe" lol

light aurora
#

i dont see the coat in its entirety on the card art

#

i just his ghost hand resting on the coffin

GARION IS SO FUCKING HUGE WHAT THE FUCK

zenith pond
#

He's large

#

Still shorter than Brutus

dark heath
#

big boy satyr

trim reef
#

he can literally lift niru off the ground

zenith pond
#

Yep.

light aurora
#

so how tall is Garion ? 7' ? and Brutus 8' ?

zenith pond
#

Garion is 8'10" and I imagine Brutus is about 9 because Massive Lion Man. Niru is on the tall side for a human so probably 7' or just shy of it.

#

Just ballparking on the in-game characters

light aurora
#

zenith pond
#

I like em tall

light aurora
#

but then how tall would you say Ulmus is ?

zenith pond
#

Massive

light aurora

cause he seems the tallest to me

#

He's a tree

So like. Huge. Idk I image like

forest mural

I like that, ents

#

Good imagery

light aurora
#

Ogi too, looks taller than Brutus

zenith pond
#

Possibly! That would be a nice tiny detail to add, heights. But I doubt it'll go into the game it's so small

#

God Garion could probably break Niru like a toothpick if he wanted, his first is bigger than Niru's torso

#

Fist

light aurora
#

they could actually change their size, as they do when you fight the bosses or the ones in PoT

#

would make it more "real"

zenith pond
#

That's a pain to program. It would be cool, but I doubt it

#

Especially for an app game

forest mural
#

Better chance of having heights added

granite ruin
#

Probably just in the lore somewhere

light aurora
granite ruin
#

No, that'd be hellosh

light aurora
#

xD

granite ruin
#

And probably change hitboxes

zenith pond
#

God I don't even wanna think about the hitbox ratios

#

That would

#

Oof

light aurora
#

why would they need to change the hitbox ?

forest mural

If it's just aesthetics I would guess not

light aurora

indeed

Nice

discord ruins the quality btw

Because it makes sense, people would complain if a character as large as Brutus took up a ton of room but wasn't the biggest target

#

Also that's amazing thank u

dark heath
#

owo ur welcome

#

might do one with vedan

#

later

#

πŸ‘€

#

but like

#

his chair is gay

#

instead

#

lol

zenith pond
#

Me: maybe I should make Garion smaller
Also me: Garion being the sweet gay uncle and giving Daimon the best piggy back rides of his life

dark heath
#

are vedan and garion both gay uncles then

#

based on what im understanding from this

zenith pond
#

'uncle' I say as tho he's not actively seducing Niru

dark heath
#

geafkeaokfa

zenith pond
#

But yes

dark heath
#

amazing

#

vedan is the one who does the dangerous

#

activities

#

then

#

i feel that's very vedan

zenith pond
#

Then there's Garion who's a giant teddy bear around kids

dark heath
#

amazing

zenith pond
#

And might also try to teach the various undead children the joys of arson

dark heath
#

vedan would approve that tho

zenith pond
#

Not if she teaches sil to light vedan's hair at least once

lmao.

zenith pond
#

Igh I need to actually write this shit

dark heath
#

u rly need to

zenith pond
#

I also want to draw Garion carrying Shemira and Niru, Daimon too if he's put out soonish.

#

Because he's That Big

#

dark heath
#

where is vedan in all that?

#

or would you drag him along with ur tail

#

lmao

zenith pond
#

Atm Vedan isn't in the story. He might come along later, but for now it's with Niru, Shemira, Daimon, Grezhul, and Thoran

dark heath
#

ah okay.

#

i will stay tuned for that then πŸ‘€

zenith pond
#

Heh good

#

I'm thinking eventually they'll be looking for more Graveborn allies and will eventually find Vedan and the girls

dark heath
#

πŸ‘€

zenith pond
#

Y'all I just realized if I go with the Niru-was-burnt-at-the-stake theory

#

That'll really stick yet another conflict between him and Garion because Garion is fire based

Which is juicy

Honestly I wonder if Vedan, Niru and the others are technically beholden to Thoran

zenith pond
#

Probably not tbh. I just like Grezhul too much to not include him, and so Thoran is part of that deal

granite ruin
#

Lol

#

No I mean

#

Thoran was a king

#

And is a strong ass Graveborn, flanked by someone who can make other Graveborn

dark heath
#

vedan is his own king

zenith pond
#

Yeah, but the Graveborn may not recognize him as their king

#

He was a Lightbearer king, he has no claim to Graveborn royalty nor loyalty. Could he rise to Graveborn power? Yes. but beholden to him?

granite ruin
#

I mean

#

What's the other option?

#

Edwin?

#

I assume the Graveborn are somewhat organized.

#

Being alone or in small groups just makes you easier to kill

tawdry vigil
#

Grave born dont give a shit about heirarchies i think

#

Except their little groups

zenith pond
#

I kind of imagined them as kind of on their own. The Hypogean forces maybe forcing them to group up, which is how I'm writing.

granite ruin
#

Seeing as literally all five of the other factions seem to have a dislike or outright disdain

#

That's pretty dangerous

#

Well

#

Four.

zenith pond
#

Harder to find in small groups

granite ruin
#

Our resident not-angel will still deal with them

#

LOL

zenith pond
#

I'm sure if there were any sudden Graveborn settlements they'd get invaded pretty quick. They all seem to be off on their own, Vedan still not being known as Graveborn technically and the girls with him. Niru and Shemira and their son kinda in the wind. And then Thoran and his army.
