The bounty board does mention exorcising unquiet spirits, so I guess it's possible for there to be incorporeal haunting style graveborn as well?

I wonder if they’re going to be making a new light bearer hero. Every other faction has 7 ascended heros except for lightbearers(only6) thanks to the newest 4 heros. So if there is a new light bearer hero- what do you guys think they’ll do?
dark heath
A new lightbearer hero coming soon
tidal frigate
Rly ?
stable abyss
Yes there is
pure meadow
LBs have one L+ more then everyone else tho
zenith pond
It's likely we'll see one ascended LB soon and more L+ of other factions. probably the former first
pure meadow
In ads they advertised a possibly mauler hero
zenith pond
The fire priestess, yeah
raven kraken
send pic?
pure meadow
Is there another one?
zenith pond
hm. I know I've seen in-game mentions of a fire priestess in the tav
pure meadow
I don't have one, someone posted it here a while ago
zenith pond
though this is a mauler we're talking about, a fire priestess might have weapons because maulers are hella fighters
Really? I didn't see it
raven kraken
lemme find the actual patchnote screenshots
so ye gb and lb
we dont need another tank lb honestly 
@zenith pond ^

Nuuu I didn't have a chance to lag out my game with Baden, Numisu, and Grezhul yet
Also this is the mystery Mauler hero
zenith pond
I could see that being a priestess. She's cute tho.
looks more leopard or jaguar than mountain lion tho
gentle knot
Ooooo
Hype
I'm torn cuz i really like all the new characters we're getting but also it's so hard to ascend anyone
raven kraken
i loveeee light colored hair with darker skin/fur
gentle knot
SAME
zenith pond
only problem with games that function like this is the evolution locking that happens. imo they need to just get rid of common heros or give them some kind of use other than retiring them.
maybe using them as materials to evolve the other heros, but as it stands they're. pointless.
gentle knot
Yeah 😩
raven kraken
but ur right i cant even properly be excited for new heroes bc i know i would prob never use them
it would be nice if there was a limited higher rates event like in other gachas but alas
gentle knot
Yeah the issue is like
Esp to level up new heroes or even put them in the resonating crystal
Takes wayyyy too much at a certain point
raven kraken
put in resonating crystal?
gentle knot
Honestly more events and shit are needed in general
raven kraken
u mean the 24 hr cooldown? or unlocking slots?
gentle knot
Unlocking slots
Also tbh i don't rly like the resonating crystal much so take what i say with a grain of salt lmao
gentle knot
Idk progression in this game is way more difficult than it should be atm imo
raven kraken
otherwise progress would be even slower
gentle knot
I mean yeah def
raven kraken
but reso crystal makes it way faster haha
gentle knot
I just think it's a bit clunky lol
raven kraken
wdym?
zenith pond
Clunky maybe, but it's unique, and keeps you from having to spread out Hero Exp too much.
raven kraken
^
raven kraken
i dont think its clunky tho,... cooldown is a reasonable buffer and unlocking makes it so you dont have infinite choice from the getgo, u gotta build up to it
gentle knot
Maybe i'm just impatient lol
Unlocking is fine but it's taking too long
raven kraken
ah haha
i just dont have that many units i want to use i guess so i always have 2 slots open
i think as u unlock more it starts feeling less restrictve
i have 16 unlocked rn
gentle knot
I've unlocked 11 so far
zenith pond
I only have ten but like
I only use the same 5 heros so
🤷
my team rn is Grezhul, Thoran, Niru, Shemira, and Fawkes
and I use them for. everything.
gentle knot
Oh nice
I only used the same 5 lightbearers for everything but now i'm stuck on a graveborn focused chapter
zenith pond
rip
gentle knot
And i can't seem to make my gf characters not be squishy li'l shits
zenith pond
but yeah I don't rly use the resonating crystal heros for anything but like. the labyrinth
gentle knot
....*gb
gentle knot
Niru is E+ lvl80
I have Shemira, Vedan, Ferael, Isabella, and Silvina in the resonating crystal at 100, and they're all just E
zenith pond
oof. You'll want to focus on Shemira and Niru in my experience. My Niru is 140 and L+, Shemira is E+ and 120. And they're. beasts. Niru has rampaged more levels than I can think of off the op of my head. Though without Thoran or Grezhul for your front line it'll be hard to keep them alive to go off properly. Niru does best later in the battle, his ult is nucking futs. Silvina is good, but she teleports behind enemy lines and is kinda squishy
Are you in chapter 8?
King's Manse I mean
gentle knot
Yeah
raven kraken
what are your units zapp?
raven kraken
hmm. honestly i think a full gb team is very hard to push. if you wanna be a meta slave like me, something like lucius/tasi frontline fawkes/belinda/arden backlines is something was my main team starting in ch 10/11 up until i got shemira in ch 13.
especially since your highest ascended arent gb
if you did have alot of high gb we would work with that, but...
zenith pond
I'm super biased for GB I use my tav tokens on nothing but GB
raven kraken
haha yea
im a meta slave so
no gb for me except shemira and nara bc im weak for nara
gentle knot
Lol
I would prefer a diverse pool of heroes to pull from so i can try a variety but like
Boy howdy am i stuck
raven kraken
nahh
trying to diversify yourself too much will slow down your progress, id focus on one faction
youll still pull a decent amt from one of the other ones
i focused on wilder, and with my luck i also use lb alot
raven kraken
gentle knot
Dam
raven kraken
lightbearers are good! but what ch are you on?
gentle knot
8
raven kraken
i pray for u
u better use that tasi and arden bc wilder cc will pull u through the pain
and id consider feeding hogan and angelo to someone
gentle knot
I'm not even there yet i'm stuck on 8-12
raven kraken
like belinda
raven kraken
honestly cobra i respect how u do not obey the rules of the meta
gentle knot
I never use angelo but i use hogan a lot so i'm nervous about making him go away
gentle knot
Yea
zenith pond
My Niru kicks ass tbh and once I get Baden I'm set with my dream team
gentle knot
NOICE
raven kraken
good luckkk
niru looks like he needs heavy investment, and is a bit too situational for me
zenith pond
Situational? Wym?
I use him for like everything
Honestly tho most characters are heavy investment. I acended him through sheer power of will
raven kraken
hahaha
zenith pond
Will and thirst
raven kraken
i mean i think his kit is too quirky and dependent on deaths or hp for my tastes, i like straight dependable dps like belinda or sav
gentle knot
LOL
raven kraken
but hey if he works for u theres no problem :p
shemira is my exception bc after 161 when she works her hp is always high
zenith pond
I guess I'm just too used to how he works for me. I'm addicted to seeing his ult go off and one-hit KO that stubborn last high-HP enemy.
gentle knot
raven kraken
LOL thats fair
i think i just never invested that much in gb anyways
i always want wilder or lb units more
granite ruin
Are you at the 9-20 wall @zenith pond

I thought I saw your Niru on that giant bloc of friendslist stuck around there
zenith pond

Also a L+ Thoran who lives to Ult can most definitely get you through
...Why do you have two Thoran in the resonating circle
Real question
Is that just like a Grezuhl summoning pact I am unaware of???
zenith pond
jrsutdjgfhl
One is to fight with one is incase he dies in the labyrinth and also to save for ascending purposes
gentle knot
Lol nice
zenith pond
to fight in the labyrinth
zenith pond
labyrinth
zenith pond
??? One is E+ one is E I don't understand
or are they both E+
I need two E+ to make one L
and my only E+ GBs are Shemira, Isabella, and those two Thoran
I'm not feeing ISabella or Shemira to Thoran
granite ruin
Not saying to now
I mean Laby gives free L units (or should) on the carts
At that stage

If i could ever get any graveborns
I get like maybe two on the first floor and I get lucky if they're not Ferael or Silvina

What would you do if you would dream and Tasi would alter your dream to the worst nightmare known to exist? 
gentle knot
that's ezizh's thing tho
fiery pelican
She can also alter dreams right?
gentle knot
i mean she maybe could
tawdry field
@fiery pelican she is coded as a 'good person's so I think for this to happen it would have to be something along the lines of the character she do this to having a very nontypical sense of comfort
Or having some trauma Tasi wasn't aware of. IE having suddenly lost family .. subconsciously it might still be a source of comfort because of recent things it might send you into depression, anxiety, excetera

I know we have the centaurs and we have the bears but I would really like to character-
Or Union story
or anythg
to help flush out the what must be a emotionally tense time for both parties.
the centaurs were said to be extremely oppressed..
When I f***** up the bears who became slaves FOR the harrashed (and presumably often enslaved) Centaurs.
The way I read it made it sound like the enslavement/oppression of centaurs was a generations long thing and then all of a sudden they're giving bears the chance to free themselves within living memory?
You know there has to be some creatures who are very salty over this
final orchid
Slavery seems to be a common theme in mauler society :^(
Both khasos and warek were victim to it
raven kraken
i bet the maulers have a pretty black and white idea of what constitutes strength. are their slaves war spoils?
final orchid
Khasos was a slave presumably bc hes a runt/was weaker than normal maulers
gentle knot
yeah mauler society sounds like a bad time in general
gentle knot
I mean i think warek's situation is still a bit messed up if i remember
Like he's starting to make shit better but
alpine barn
Yeah, Warek's story makes Golus seem like a lot less admirable of a person
gentle knot
Yeah i feel like somwthing wasn't coordinated too well there
Like they're both victims or racist slavery and oppression at the hands of each other's people which makes the "downtrodden hero rebel" angle for both of them kinda fall flat lmao
severe torrent
But somewhat more realistic. Like people enslaved each other's. Like in the hero of the shield. The humen are not all bad so are the demi-humen. And humen won't necessarily not going to enslaved other humen.
Does that make sense

Has anyone mentioned that Brutus might've killed Baden and took off Thane's arm?
From their bios it looks like Baden and Thane fought against a Mailer soldier they underestimated, and I think in Baden's bio, it mentions the Mailer had a large blade (Brutus has a giant sword). And how the attacker left Thane alive.
gentle knot
Maybe
I wish they were more clear with it tho tbh

Pretty sure ive read mauler hammer

It was a hammer that crushed Thane's arm. The blade part is probably mistranslation in Baden's bio

@zenith pond I like your take on the Grave Vow, but I like the story according to Kelthur's lore, where the Grave Vow were sorta like vigilantes that reanimated those who died wrongful deaths, like those executed from false accusations, or good-hearted people who were killed wrongdoers. Dunno, I just feel the idea of vigilante necromancers is neat and far more unique than religious fanatics.
zenith pond
@old radish Why Not Both?
We don't really get a whole lot of info on them in Kelthur's story, only that they had people at his execution and that they decided to help him. No where does it say who they are or what their purpose is. I just filled in the blanks.
I imagined them as, yes, a zealous religious group, but that doesn't mean they can't take pity on a wrongfully executed man.
Amd it would make sense for a religious group to sit in on an execution.
Even if they're there undercover

Name: Abanoub
Nickname: Eternal One
Faction: Graveborn
Type: Strength
Role: Tank
Ultimate: Cursed-(1) Depending on the situation. Abanoub will cast a spell on the battlefield randomly affecting every enemy or ally. if the battle is on the enemy's favor. the curse will decrease Attack speed, damage, Defense, health regen, energy regen, accuracy or dodge by 10%, deal 120% damage or stun for 5 seconds. if the battle is on abanoub's favor. same stats could be raised by 8%, 25% total health heal or 250energy points for each ally.
(2) effects are increased from 10 to 12% for enemies and 8 to 10% to allies
(3) duration of effect is increased from 5 to 6 seconds
(Abanoub's cursed will be either conpletely useless or completely turn the tide of the battle)
2nd ability: Scarab-(1) Summons 3 flying scarabs that surrounds abanoub that has a 16.6 chance of blocking enemy attacks. undamaged/full health scarabs will heal abanoub 1% of health per second. if scarabs are destroyed/killed, will cause an explosion that deals 100% damage to nearby surrounding enemies

(3) added 1 scarab. a total of 4 scarabs. (12.5 chance of blocking for each scarab)
3rd ability: Sarcophagus-(1) Traps a nearby enemy in a Sarcophagus for 6 seconds. which will act as a frontal shield that can mitigate 200% worth of damage and that damage will be dealth to the trapped enemy
(2) will mitigate 250% of damage
(3) will mitigate 300% of damage
(Sarcophagus is like a combination of Ankhira's cocoon and Lucius's blessed shield)
4th ability: Sandpit- (1) Immobilize the farthest enemy while life leeches the immobilized enemy and deals 30% damage per 0.6 seconds.
Running enemies will be slowed but not lifeleeched or dealth damage

are all graveborn in the same race? like shemira vedan grez has the same skin color and prob elf like ear and the rest are different
zenith pond
So far all of them are resurrected Lightbearers, AKA humans. That said there do seem to be differences, Vedan hasn't actually died, and is instead immortal, Isabella also hasn't died via her lore. Niru cast a spell on himself and rose Shemira, but Grezhul made a deal with something.
There's really no defining thing between them except 'undead' rly, and even then Vedan is debatable
I'd call Vedan a vampire, Niru a lich, and Grezhul like a wraith or ghoul. Thoran probably a zombie.
if I had to theorize actual races

Who else thinks vedan is a relative Silvina and Isabella
zenith pond
Nah. They were from a little village, he was a nobleman.
bronze olive
I mean, maybe?
You could see him as a distant relative who only took the girls in because they're distantly related
ofc just because they weren't nobles doesn't mean it's impossible
I don't think they're related but it could be possible in some way
daring ibex
I mean y’all should read arcanists union in the library for ranhorn
gentle knot
Yea in the thing Vedan didn't care about them until Isabella disintegrated a guy
Even if they were related somehow, neither of them are probably aware of it
zenith pond
yeah
also noble families' privilege usually spanned multiple, like, splits off of the family. If they were distant, they would still be higher than some tiny village. Unless they were related through a bastard child or something.

Also that

I'm considering writing a fic where Kelthur and Ferael are on the same like. contract. and end up working together

Ok so the convo in artistic style has got me thinking what time period this game takes place 🤔
So clearly guns are already a thing bc of morvus and raines weapons but morvus looks like he has a newer model
And idk anything about gun types
What kinda gun does he have

Lmao this game is wild u got medieval knights and kings then u got cowboy morvus over here about to pop a cap in ur ass

it's fantasy it's whatever time period they want tho

Sekiro and Bloodbourne are connected in case nobody knew it was pretty insane

The dwarves are probably advanced compared to the other races bc even tho Raine also has guns they look significantly older models than morvus's gun
Like older guns sorta look like cannons like Raines does

@final orchid on the subject of guns it looks like a flint lock.
with rains guns being handheld it would mean that hers are probably the more advanced
That doesn't mean however that the lure and technology is as widely spread as we think.
While guns were really revolutionary once introduced they weren't exactly accurate.
if you were issued a gun you probably had a short-range weapon or at least a bayonet you could have fixed as well. On account of them being just... so bad
Gun designs varied wildly within a relatively short amount of time

hmm... I kinda had an idea of a fanfiction story of her and seirus
The Fire Goddess and the Water King

She’s basically a volcano goddess that explodes when she dies dealing 300% of her damage
daring ibex
Although a good idea for a part of that ult is that the lava stays for 7 secs dealing 120% of damage to enemies
But yeah the ult is pretty good
daring ibex
How about her lvl 61 ability is that she shoots out lava out of a mini volcano and deals fire damage overtime

@daring ibex I added up the damage of her ultimate
her ultimate can deal 1000% for 10 seconds
maybe its too op

Does anyone know if The Ancient Ruins peaks of time level has any lore insight into how Vedan became a graveborn?

@north compass im not super well versed but for the most part they all have different backgrounds (especially seirus, as hes kind of an honorary wilder since he comes from the waters not the forest) but they all value protection and peace of nature
alpine barn
There's the Dusk Watch which is the first line of defense and strike force against the hypogeans and the Oak Sages which are a group of mages that keep knowledge and tradition alive
north compass
@zenith pond explain to me your knowledge
zenith pond
Well, the Graveborn aren't really an organized faction, you'd have to be a little more specific. Their only real uniting Thing is that they're all undead.
fervent whale
So what you're saying is, the term Graveborn is racist.
I often see the characters saying that some heroes have a racial advantage over others.
What's that supposed to mean
alpine barn
Means they do extra damage to the other faction in battle
and I don't see what you mean by racist? Graveborn is just the in-universe term for Undead

My OCs
Name: Callum
Callum is a Wilder, he would look like a short, thin boy with a hood of leaves and camouflage print, he specializes in trapping enemies and dealing high damage on only one enemy. He is an agility-based hero, and has a good dodge but a weak defense.
Passive 1: At the start of the battle, Callum sets up a trap in the middle of the battlefield that will deal damage and a poison after the first enemie's ultimate is cast. (Only affects 1 enemy, but if any other enemies are in the range, they will only get a poison)
Passive 2: Callum sets up a trap that dangles an enemy in the air by a rope, with the enemy not being able to attack and when the enemy is released from teh trap the enemy will get stunned
Passive 3: Callum shoots a needle at an enemy, that has a 25% chance of being poisoned.
Ultimate: Callum traps the enemy with the highest defense, and the trap shoots out tall poisoned wooden spikes that stun the enemy, throw them into the air, and deals poison which completely ignores the enemy's defense and gets worse the higher the haste of that enemy is.
___________________________________________________-
Name: Ashi
Title: The peaceful child
Faction: Mauler
Backstory(brief): Ashi was a Dracust, a human-like being that when in danger or just wanted to, sprouted a tail, claws , and faint scales. Her kind, the Dracusts, were a powerful and feared race that could pierce enemies in seconds with their tails. Ashi and her mother were against killing for fun, and decided to escape to a far away town where they could start a new life. In the town, Ashi was careful not to release her tail and claws by controlling her emotions, however, a few moths in, the Hypogeans attacked. In a desperate attempt to save Ashi, Ashi's mother killed the Hypogeans, but was killed by the terrified villagers in return. Ashi fled the town and decided to help kill the Hypogeans. Ashi, due to her shy and caring nature, never killed the intruders, only tying them up for others to find.
Description: A reddish brown-haired young child with pale skin, hair shoulder long, wearing a grey-blue dress with a spiky red and silver tail hanging above her head like a scorpion, and red and silver claws instead of hands.
- Swings tail in a circle, dealing medium damage and knocking back enemies
- For every teammate killed, Ashi's defense will raise
- Ashi's tail will deflect 30% of all projectiles
Ult: Ashi will stun all enemies, and send them up in the air whilst dealing damage
manic forum
Name: Jesse
Title: The failed mage
Faction: Graveborn
Description: A woman with a red-and black dress that is scorched at the end with skeletal legs showing underneath. She has opaque glasses with a hypnotic spiral on them, very wild and messy red hair with black ends.
Backstory: She attended the same magic academy as Mirael, however, she was lacking in talent and eventually became a jester in royal court, performing basic magic to entertain. She had a deep hatred for the royals who laughed and mocked her, and when a magic trick went wrong, resulting in her death, she was resurrected as a monster.
1.Jesse will hurl 4 balls, two white and two black. The two white ones leech energy and the two black ones will poison and stun the enemy.
2.The lower health, the haste and stamina recovery rate will increase
3. Jesse will share some of the damage inflicted upon her with the enemy
Ult: Jesse will light her dress on fire, burning up until it reveals a skeleton in rags. The bones will clatter to the ground and reform around the enemies as bone cages, trapping them and burning them.
Name: Viva
Title: The swift wind
Faction: Wilder
Description: A girl with a wooden right leg, like a tree, and leafy vines crawling up to her throat. Her right hand will be bark-like and vines wrapping around her arm, and a vine with 1 leaf around her throat. The other half of her will just be normal. She wears a light green top, and an evergreen skirt with pale ends. She has dark brown hair.
Backstory: She is half Druid, which are tree spirits, however, unlike her mother, who is full druid, she is not bound to a particular tree and instead, she exhibits tree-like features. She is a lively young girl, and resists becoming a slow, rooted half-druid. (crappy backstory ik)
1.Haste is lowered by defence rises sharply
Passive: Will always be attacking, vines or sleep does not affect her movement
Ult: (only ascendable to legendary+) Her vines attaches to 3 enemies, which slowly restricts movement and leecheslife.

We can try?

Okay so i asked myself about the cave and I looked at the map and I tried to figure out where would be the cave on the map
But I can't really figure it out since it's known as a necromancer cave ...
alpine barn
Yeah, it's very unclear. THe only clues we have is that it's in a dark forest and there were demon hunters nearby
raven kraken
wasnt there one pot where the bounty bois were in a forest
the second pot
or smth
zenith pond
The cave Raine and Fawkes were taken into? Yeah, it's probably not on the map. Each area is labeled by specific, well known places in each area. One necromancer's lair probably doesn't constitute as important enough.
gritty brook
Sure that's why I could'nt find it
alpine barn
Oh, speaking of Raine and Fawkes, I'm kinda confused on the timeline
So they were rescued from the cave as children by demon hunters, right?
and if they're in their late teens/mid twenties right now, does that mean the Barred Gate broke about 10-15 years from the present?
gritty brook
When we say children do you know how old they could be?
light aurora
3-4 years old
gritty brook
When they went in the cave
alpine barn
I kinda headcanon 5-12 range
gritty brook
Wow really? 😮 That's too young
light aurora
3-9 i consider as child
alpine barn
What do you consider past 9?
gritty brook
Yeah after that they are teens
alpine barn
Tween 😛
light aurora
well, they do say in majority of places that kids under 12 are children
as in smol children
alpine barn
Anyways, Belinda's story says she had already finished schooling and was already a fully fledged priestess when the Barred Gate broke, so does that mean she's 10-ish years older than Fawkes and Raine?
gritty brook
I think they might get in the cave when they were 7 or 9 because I don't think they would've found it when they were like 3 or 5 lol
alpine barn
or is "Demon Hunter" about the same meaning as "Necromancer Hunter" and the Hypogean invasion hadn't begun when the Fawkes/Raine backstory happened
gritty brook
Mmh
jovial lion
I think we may also be forgetting that in the approximate time period that AFK world is like, Belinda may have flown through all of her lessons and classes to become a priestess. Much the same as a 15 year old Estrilda becoming a full knight of the kingdom.
alpine barn
Yeah. And medieval people getting married and having kids at 15
hurk
jovial lion
True. But also due to Belinda's natural gift with the Light I think it may be easy to infer that she was capable of doing everything very fast, similar to how (example) Edward Elric was the youngest state alchemist.
alpine barn
@.@
Sometimes growing up and becoming an adult makes you forget how baby anime protagonists are when they do their heroics
jovial lion
Not forgetting that fictional worlds are weird and different too.
Given that, and that Belinda is like "the chosen one" for the Light I can (not realistically) understand she may have been very young having been educated and tutored in various light magic arts.
Then again I've been doing other things than reading any adjusted lore etc for AFK so yikes

Is Eironn the swordsman in Brutus's backstory?
He's the closest match I found so far

possible, but doubtful. Brutus's story mentions it was a large human, a soldier for the lightbearers, a knight
Eironn is anything but large, or human, and I don't think he would fight as a soldier for a lightbearer conflict. He also went to become a student of Brutus, which implies he was not an equal match

This being a lore discussion, were Silvina and Isabella wilders when they were living?
dapper hinge
Hi
wary meteor
@modern sigil I don't think so
gaunt pewter
Then what about the horns and tail?
proud bluff
I just read their backstories along with the Arcanists union one in the library, and Silvina's bio is completely inconsistent with the other two? o_o
in Isabella's bio their parents weren't killed until their village was invaded, but Silvina's says she was orphaned as an infant lol
in the union story it seems like they are still living humans (they were starving and scrounging for food), just are in the graveborn faction due to being in Vedan's care. But in Silvina's bio she dies from a failed assassination and gets ressurected by random necromancers and there is no mention of Isabella or Vedan
wary meteor
The horns and tail I think it's from being graveborn (after resurrect)
As for their backstory it's quite confusing 😂
tawdry vigil
Silvinas lore is when she's already in vedan's care
Probably enrolled her in some assassin academy or sumthin
wary meteor
So I think mainly the story is like this
Silvina and Isabella are sisters their parents were killed (therefore Silvina story says she's an orphan), after that they met with Vedan which take them in (they're still alive) Silvina became assassin and die while on a mission. She's resurrect and became graveborn
As for Vedan and Isabella they did a ritual thingy which make them immortal so they're in the graveborn faction
tawdry vigil
Pretty much how i understood their lores

tawdry field
Se they could have fixed it with little twist. Instead of making it a fuckble trope, a human shape..
Make it a humanesque horror trope.
Make it a child with eyes a little too big, or a little too many.
A whip? How about a yo yo or jump rope?
Or maybe even more cliche a stuffed animal where he stitching is loose and bones/bugs/spirits are leaking out..
Make it look like it is TRYING hard to get you to care about it for nefarious purpose.
Or body horror.
I don't think I would even care that we would have a sexy demon if we had a couple other monsterous hypogean first.
because then it would be the odd one out and yeah sexy demon trip would still be weird but it would be disturbing or acceptable
alpine barn
I for one am glad they didn't go the Little Girl Succubus route
That's just too disturbing

how about a succubus that has a sexy body, but her shadow is some grotesque monster
that sorta reveals her true form
and the body we see is an illusion
OR we can go the disturbing route. Have a petite succbus girl, but when she ults a faint image of an anglerfish like creature appears behind her, with the succubus being the lure.
zenith pond
Or parts of her are actually grotesque like her claws are all sexy make them actually terrifying. Or give her really scary eyes. I'd like to see like maybe she's sexy but like her arms are detached and floating and there's weird demonic.... stuff in the space between

I never found anything so jarringly bad or wrong that I had to drop things and say I didn't like it. Maybe that's just me though.
But a lot of talk here it's always Silvina 
When it's inconsistencies anyways.
zenith pond
lmao ok some people feel more strongly about certain lore parts, no need to get salty because we're angry about something you don't care about
jovial lion
Well I thought you didn't want to speak with me anyways why are you replying yeet
zenith pond
because you're judgmental af and every time you comment it's something passive aggressive yeet
kinda sick of it
Anyways one word in a line of coding isn't hard to fix I do wish they'd change it in a quick patch. It's probably just flown under their radar. I might throw a new suggestion up, something more specific to the request.
Also on lore lines, I wish we knew more about Shemira, her story is all around her husband and child I wanna know more what she was like in life or after death. I hope she gets a union just for more information about who she is as a person

Back to all that Silvina discourse... my understanding of it was that she and Isabella aren’t actually sisters, but she found Isabella way AFTER she died and was like “oh she’s like me” and Linda took her in. Then Vedan found them.
granite ruin
Oh naaaah
granite ruin
Isabella's story directly contradicts that.
soft willow
Ahdnhsjjaja then what
granite ruin
So does the Arcanist's guild
zenith pond
Silvina was trained by Vedan
granite ruin
Vedan just found the two together and Silvina hadn't been turned
soft willow
I’m so confused then??? When does she die
granite ruin
She just had some knives and was terrified in an alley
zenith pond
Exactly! It contradicts
zenith pond
some graveborn in the forest
granite ruin
Apparently
soft willow
?????okay
zenith pond
according to her lore
soft willow
Alright
zenith pond
which is. up in the friggin air
granite ruin
Vedan is a grave born who never died
soft willow
I know
granite ruin
Silvina is a zombie of some sort
soft willow
Ye
zenith pond
not as far as we know
soft willow
Ye
granite ruin
She hasn't aged, but Silvina went after Estrilda when Estrilda was a little girl
soft willow
Yeah
soft willow
Spooky
granite ruin
At least.
soft willow
Maybe she’s like suspended in this weird limbo
Where she hasn’t died
But doesn’t continue living
granite ruin
I mean she called upon the spirits of the dead and got the Graveborn Glow in her eyes
So we have no idea what she truly is
Since She imparted vampirism unto Vedan
soft willow
Okok
I feel like the graveborn as a faction are kinda foggy in their backstories etc
Are they even a faction??? They might now even know each other... they’re not really united under anyone or anything
zenith pond
The Maulers are implied to not be unified either, Brutus wants to unite them but
soft willow
But at least tee mailers have tribes
The graveborn are just a bunch of dudes
*maulers
granite ruin
Graveborn is a faction split in at minimum two between Thoran and his brother
zenith pond
I think Thoran could rally them with the right actions but no, according to the lore they're very... spread out
granite ruin
Plus any outliers that don't wanna be friends
There's also the necromantic cult that raised Kelthur
soft willow
There seem to be a lot of “random necromancers” that go unnamed
zenith pond
I hope we get more about them
soft willow
Yee
zenith pond
Finally, a Graveborn organization
soft willow
Why do they even name the common tier heroes??? They have no story or lore rip
soft willow
BRUH
zenith pond
L M A OOO
severe plume

Huh, you know
Khasos looks kinda like a fennec fox, doesn't he?
Those really big ears, and it would explain why he was considered really tiny
zenith pond
I always thought he looked like a caracal
gaunt pewter
You know, I don’t think a single graveborn where non human before being resurrected
zenith pond
thus far most likely not. Though people theorize isabella and silvina might have been wilders due to their horns.
gaunt pewter
A mauler graveborn would be dope
zenith pond
Oh for sure. I have an OC that's a graveborn mauler
