Oh, so you're saying Q thought Baden was better off under the necromancer, but Ferael was better off having nothing to do with the sorceress?
Yeah, that's my thouhht
He saw potential in Ferael beyond what the sorceress could offer
He is a really powerful Graveborn after all
Because control before death is weaker than control after death is a little... screwy
Yeah
So, Ferael wouldn't have actually needed the sorceress to become a graveborn, because he probably made the deal independent of her. All she did was kill him and give him a reason to come back.
Baden was already dead dead and likely denied the offer of undeath, but the Necromancer can give him a second chance and make the decision for him
Yeah! That's how I see it
If you were a willing undead, you are loyal to Quaedaem, but Q can't assert loyalty over unwilling undead like Baden, so he needs necromancers to assert direct control over him
The main point of Quaedaem needing necromancers is that they
- Can draw his attention to recently dead who might be willing to make the pact (Shemira, Ferael)
- Can force dead that chose final death to return to undeath
- Can assume direct control over unwilling undead
Thoran is a major piece in Q's plans, so he may have taken more of a sledgehamner to his mind and morals than Baden
Yeah
I mean, also consider Grezhul not knowing he's in control
And he can still be soft around Grezhul even with the sledge of trauma
Sledgehammer*
If anything, I think that would mean Grezhul is the only one he truly trusts
Rip
Because Thoran's lore very much focuses on his paranoia
LMAO
Shdhbfbd
Now you guys see it, Quaedem has control yes, but that control can be broken, it's not absolute
Wait what do we make of Kelthur and the Grave Vow? Do those guys have control over kelthur?
He has their alliance
And this ads an element of hope for freedom of the graveborn
https://gyazo.com/42dc916e249b44b9cd7fdbea70b2d257 heres a poem
It's just a matter of whether or not Quaedam can take away undeath from those who betray him
Nd
And*
afelap¨lfa¨l
The existence of the prison?
Makes it seem like he cant
👀
Because why eternally torture when you can throw them back into death
^
The prison confirms that freedom can happen and Quaedem might not be able to take away his gift
Mmmm, I think
Or will not in favor of tourture
In the realm of the dead Quaedam would have more control
For more torture
I want to design the warden
Would souls be able to feel pain tho
It says so in the lore
That's how the undead are tortured
Their souls are tortured
oh are we kinning now?
Hell UEAH
i approve of that warden
Oh funky warden love them
flame head kinda man
Fjskfosornf put that masterpiece in the right channel angi
Anyways I'm thinking more like. Psychological, magical torture.
OwO!! Its Quaedam all over again
I'm excited for ur version
OH GOD pompadours are my shit heck
ah hell yeah
Fuck okay thank u Nic, that's going in my design now
aye ur welcome
And I'm not at home so this bitch grabbing a pencil and paper
great ideas require difficult solutions.
Maybe not a fire pomp, but I'm. Liking the idea of a fire theme
Maybe like throw in branding because that's one hella torture
OOO maybe they have a bbranding iron in the shape of an eye
YES
like imagine having this burned onto your skim
🤔 wait...this thing has an story and lore?
oh boy howdy you havent seen the most of it
But I will not stop you Angi
the lore is p good
Each character has story in their profiles/portraits!
Check it out on the heros page
😂 I have to download the game first
what if the warden has like, a human upper and lower body but limbs like arms and legs are out of flames?
OOOo
And some area have lore, too! Look for buttons with a ! in a diamond, then find the story tab
L:KAEHASIUKJHFEKLJHD
RJFOALFNW
good lord
anyway
Omg no I have. Ideas
im doing that sometime
give him a gun
And you need proper hands for branding irons, at least for my design
idk if it s really branding im thinking of but like
his chest is pushed in?
but also branded.
lfaåelfåal what if he branded himself and thats how he died
and qdamn was like
''what the fuck man''
and revived him
Yeah, I'm gonna download this because of the story and lore, first mobile game in like 3 years.
,¨pkl¨PFKEA¨PKFPÄK
Awesome!!
LARRY
Omg what did I just miss
Fair
L¨FÅLOEA¨FLÄPÅLFË
Ok I'm drawing now
ÖARRY
ANGI I CANT READ THAT FAST
PLEASE
IM MISSING THE GOOD KUSH
Valid
can i aske a completely non-graveborn related question
yes
do you think mirael has ever committed arson
:thonk:
That's literally her lore
have fun storming art castle
she made mockups of towns to burn right
I want to draw Mirael as an anarchist punk now
hell yeah
I love how we're all like
'thoran can't be cruel'
But then we
Clamor to design someone who's only trait
Is 'sadist'
gjkhfsfkhsjl
That's literally all we know
thats how it be!
That and warden
speaking of thoran
Tbh!
he definitely seems the type to wear fuzzy slippers
Yes
Ok imagine big bad paranoid king
No one wants to even look at wrong
But he's on his throne with bunny slippers
hgjhgk
Omg
but the slippers are green-blue to go with the color scheme
Yes
ok but its a good trait
the slippers, or-
the other trait
oh yeah sadist right
yes
Valid
GOOD BECAUSE ME TOO
My warden is just like. A zealot for the Lord of Fear. Maybe even thinks himself an avatar of Quaedam, or something akin to an angel or holy servant
I feel like my warden, being so obsessed with causing fear and terror, is definitely respectful of Quaedam at the least, but I can see the opposite
UUHHH it doesn't state it but I don't know why... He wouldn't be??
I mean he's under Thoran's command
And punishes people who betray thoran
Mmmm... That. Doesn't make sense to me.
I mean you could also say like
who says hypos cant be graveborn
They're some kind of ethereal being but I just
Don't see why a demon would work for Thoran or why Quaedam would allow a demon--a creation of the very god of death hes kind of replaced--to do that, especially causing such fear.
I mean no one says alliance means respect. You can ally with someone you don't like
I think my guy will just be called by his title. The Warden. His card title would be Agent of Terror. He doesn't remember his old name. He doesn't care.
All he cares about is the suffering and fear of those in the prison on which he feeds
And the approval of his Lord
when i saw the graveborn lore was called "under his thumb" and the banner was vedan i assumed it was about silvina and isabella
YEAH the banner is big misleading
oh geez not that cursed name again....i cant do this again...
what name? hamilton?
probably
Ffffff
i would like to discuss the lore of satrana's boob bouncing
Antandra: I will rescue this child because I am a compassionate being, and even though she is a stranger, I will defend her to the death.
Also Antandra: KILL, OR BE KILLED! UGH, WEAKLING! I SHALL DRIVE YOU FROM THESE LANDS!
She has standards
the two new heroes makes me wanna draw them with a buliara/riju relationship a la botw except a bit less formal ❤
^ what does that even mean
I hope Antandra is good; she's pretty close to my aesthetic
Everyone: wow new maulers
Me: ulmus green boy now :)
Lol yeah Ulmus and Tasi looks update pretty nice
Tasi is a little less than stellar imo because of the lack of curled hair pieces.
Even in her bust there's quite a few
Tasis new hair I’m not a huge fan of either its kind of an awkward length
In her good art it still curled upward, not straight
I made a terrible mistake for this but that's fine.
He's Green that's all that matters.
Bye bye mermaid man.
He no longer has armor at elite
He gains it after legendary
I can't tell for Vurk because I don't have him
I still have neither Vurk nor Skreg
rngesus has not blessed me with maulers
😔 😔 😔

F
Lol
Wouldn't be surprised if it's parts of his armor and his eye piece that aren't on the E version
There's someone in my guild with an E+ Vurk but I can't see the hero
New Hero hints, y'all
I'm kinda excited for the second one. We're getting an Inquisitor Nun!
https://afk-arena.fandom.com/wiki/Gwyneth
How old is this info? First I've seen it. She sounds badass though
This page is still under heavy construction as there is very little to go off of other than datamined info. Please be patient as this page is updated by the community. Gwyneth is an ascended tier...
Big burly ballista babe
This looks familiar, I think someone put one of their characters on the wiki
Like an OC, pretending it's a real datamined thing?
At first I thought it was similar to a character I wanted to see in the game, basically the mystery knight that Brutus fought as a badass warrior chick, but it took a turn. Still, seems pretty cool and I wanna see her
Yes that character was developed by someone on this chat as a response to the descussion on how we would like to see more variety in the character body types.
The ballista one, or the mystery knight?
The ballista one, her lore was posted during the discussion
Gotcha gotcha
New tigergal tail is so big and fluffy and well-animated...
So should someone remove it as being misleading information?
We dont want the wiki to become a hotbed of speculation and fanwork
Part 2 of "Tasi becomes a POW and gets f||rick||ing tortured"
"Ah, you're getting off lucky. I only prepared a small amount of the conversion, but dont worry. Soon it shall be fully completed and ready." Mehira said, mockingly pointing at the rest of Tasi's hypogean body.
Tasi mumbled something, too tired to truly speak.
Mehira walked off into the shadows to prepare the final half of the conversion magic.
Tasi could already feel the conversions true effects, her arms attempting to tear each other apart, her mind being clouded by Annih. Truly, this would be the Dreamhopper's end.
"I'm baaack!" Mehira sing-songingly said, Tasi having accepted her fate. "Oh good, the conversion seems to have worked far sooner than I could have ever anticipated. Now, on with the show..."
Part 3
It was done. Tasi, the Dreamhopper was no more. She was merely a vessel, now, for Tasi, the Nightstalker. She was deployed into battle across Esperia, winning each and every battle she came across. It earned Mehira a nice break, as well.
"Have we impressed?" Tasi asked Annih, alongside her new master, Mehira, one early morning.
"Yes... moreso than I ever... could have dreamed." Annih's voice boomed, his laugh more of a dark, cold stutter.
"Good. I shall return to battle and take Esperia by-"
"No... even the most vicious of killers... deserves rest..."
"As you wish."
I think imma stop for now, i can only make my characters suffer so much in one day
So I think we can all agree that Antandra was the warrior who helped Satrana, right?
Antandra was kicked out for helping satrana tho
Also, isn’t Antandra way older than Satrana? Or was Antandra also a child when she helped Satrana
lol
Ye she leetle
Antandra could adopt Satrana
Oh shoot guys
What if Satrana and Mirael met up and did the sparky sparky fire magicks
Mirael: hey, was that... fire?
Satrana: yea-
Mirael: congratulations, you are being rescued
Ok new lore Mirael meets Satrana and she hears her sad backstory, brings her home and Vevi and Satrana become best friends... until she accidentally burns one of his puppets
Then Satrana... "disappears"
Miraels fine tho
Also remember when i said i would stop Hypo Tasi for today
yeah that was a lie

Quick recap for plebs (jkjk i love you all for reading this)
Tasi is evil now.
Recap over.
Tasi's next field assignment was a mauler encampment. This was a simple search-and-destroy. She could take it on her own.
"I shall do my best, Master Annih."
"As I know you can... my Nightstalker..."
She set off for the camp, stopping only to rest and to kill wandering traders. She met heavily armed defenses.
"Childs play..." She thought, simply teleporting behind the barricade and slipping every guard into a coma.
"Halt!" A young mauler said, holding twin axe blades. Something was peculiar about this one, however: it had a human face.
"And who are you, exactly?" Tasi said, eyeing the boy with an odd sensation.
"Khassy JR. My parents told me to guard the town while they went out to hunt."
There was that feeling again, she could put her finger on it now: compassion. No matter, she thought, just execute the boy and the rest of them. But a voice she thought was long dead screamed no, teleporting her as far away as she could manage.
"Hmm... Annih wont care if one small village goes unchecked, right? Plus with all the guards dead, they'll fall in no time..." Tasi thought, returning to the Barred Gate for her next assignment...
Part 5 coming soon jesus christ why do i keep doing this to poor Tasi
Did you noticed both mirael and satrana says magnior tormenim when clicking on their characters in the hero tab ?
Part 5.
"So... you let the encampment live?" Annih asked before Tasi could even explain herself.
"Yes, master. They... put up a good fight. I was unable to defeat them." Tasi lied.
"And yet... when I sent my finest troops... you dispatched them with ease... in your former state?"
"Sir, this was-"
"I have no time for excuses. Your next assignment... is a treant named Ulmus."
"B-but sir,"
"No... Excuses."
"...Yes, master Annih. Point me in his direction and con... consider him dead."
It was a long and arduous task, but Tasi managed to track down her old friend Ulmus.
"Tasi! Is it... Is it truly you?" Ulmus asked, his bark having grown moss and fungi in the time she was gone.
Yes! Its me! Please, save me Ulmus! the voice inside pleaded, but Tasi did not speak those words. Instead, she started an incantation.
"Tasi?" Ulmus asked, as his roots were pulled from the ground and withered, one by one.
"There is no Tasi anymore." She said, into his dying eyes. "Only the Nightstalker."
Fun lore fact: that "voice inside" is me begging myself to just write a 'happily ever after' and make everything right again
But thats for part 10

oh thats painful im gonna go and 
I think it was this chat that was talking about a nun character and i found this
Bae
If Lilith sexualizes a NUN I will be bringing out a gun myself
nah belinda a nun.
Ok cant sleep so imma just increase my depression with Part 6
also can i uhhh grab a screencap from another server and incorrect quotes it to afk arena
cause i just had an exchange with huge rowan energy
Honestly the first thing I thought of was the Game of thrones Septa with the Shame bell
and one dreaf
oh fuck
eletha
elitha? i dunno how its spelled but-KJBDFSFHDS
hkjhfkadsjhkjh yes
best au
This is set inside Tasi's mind.
Part 6
After defeating her closest friend, Tasi fell into a deep emotional battle. This raged for months, with her former self attempting to regain control.
"You need to listen to me!" Tasi's conscience said, tears in her eyes.
"Why should I? You were weak, tethered to that Ulmus. I unchained us; ANNIH unCHAINED US!" Tasi's corrupted state retorted.
"Please! We cant lose any more friends! I wont allow it!"
"And what will you do to stop me?"
Suddenly, Tasi's arm abruptly latched on to her own throat.
"I still have some control. If you continue on this unholy path..."
The hand released.
"...I'll stop it myself."
"...so what? You're going to kill us? We can just be resurrected by... Ulmus..."
"Exactly. We'll be stuck, wandering around in the land of the dreaming populace, like before."
There was silence, before the corrupted Tasi suddenly got up and went to Annih's chambers...
oh fuck oh shit
Part 6.5
"Annih! I demand an audience!" Tasi yelled, to the void.
"What is it... my Nightstalker?" The void called back.
"I will serve you blindly; I will follow you to the Divine Realm itself; but I have one demand."
"For my best assassin... any price... is payable..."
"I refuse to take any more assignments involving Wilders, or their people."
"...consider... it... done."
Tasi returned to her thoughts.
"There. Are you appeased?"
Her arm gave a thumbs-up.
I, sadly, now know the feeling Larry
👍 
Now I cant decide between "happy ever after" or "Tasi fucking kills herself" to end my fanfic
And I hate it
Also a certain hypogean will be appearing as a cameo in the next part Larry 
Hmm
I wonder who it could be

Also remember that demon-fawkes drawing you did?
That'll happen
Quiet Mornings?

.org
Beat me to it
Ahh i love it
Its just Fawkes having a nightmare and thats somehow adorable
But now time for Part 7

Tasi's final assignment, or what she knew as the next assignment, was a roving band of demon hunters. This mission was different: simple conversion. There were rumors of a powerful demon hunter and a pet Hypogean known as Fawkes and Veviva, respectively.
"Hmm... Mehira taught me the conversion spell so I should be good... Better test it just to be sure." Tasi muttered, choosing a small rabbit as her target. Dust enveloped the small creature, turning its once white, fluffy ears to jagged, purple horns.
"HOPPY FOOD!" A somewhat familiar voice called out from the brush.
"Huh, Vevi? What hap-oh... Oh lord, is that a hypogean rabbit?" A second voice called.
Ok I gotta go to sleep actually so i cant finish it now
Apologies
gn!
Darn it right as I leave Angi posts more lore
Welp, might as well continue Part 7
Two figures appeared from the brush, a small Hypogean, and a human with a strange glowing arm. Tasi remembered them from her weaker days.
"Oh, it's Tasi! Hi, Tasi!" Veviva, innocent as ever, called out and waved to her. Fawkes was less impressed.
"Hang on, something feels peculiar about this..." Fawkes said, right before Tasi wrapped a chain around Veviva. But before the dark magic that had consumed her could re-hold Veviva, Fawkes leaped into action, using a trick Tasi had taught him before her change to put her into a deep slumber.
"Oh, looks like Tasi took a nap!" Veviva said, gleefully looking on as Fawkes restrained her.
"Yeah... Let's get her back home, Vevi. I think this hunt is over."
which leads straight into Part 8
For the second time in a span of months, Tasi was hung up on a wall. Twice more than she'd admittedly wanted. She overheard a conversation just outside the cellar.
"Listen, Fawkes, I know that she's simply corrupted, but she's still one of Annih's most feared assassins! Who said that she wasn't just planted here to kill us in our sleep?" A female voice said, echoing in the darkness.
"Listen. In all of my years of hunting, I know when a soul can be redeemed. And I sense some redemption in her." Fawkes said, as footsteps echoed down.
"Go back to sleep, Vevi." a rougher female voice said.
"I had a nightmare... It was the same one." Tasi felt her heart ache, her sole uncorrupted arm lunging towards the door to soothe the young boy. But she was met by chains.
The door opened, revealing a female with purple hair alongside Veviva.
"Hey, Tasi. I know you can hear us... You mind helping out a bit?"
Her arm gave a thumbs-up, and began to cast a spell to soothe the young boy's nightmares.
"Huh... Hey, Fawkes! You're right. She's got some fight in her yet." The girl said, winking to Tasi as the door closed on them both.
????????? I’m confused
don't know whats doing on but good job
same
I went to used settings. There wasn’t a game activity. Only activity. I clocked there and no game of sultans. AFK arena is gheee and I didn’t add it. It’s weird


Oh also [redacted] here's the full, above story if u want it https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hQKH3W3vOF_xh0dlTDQG7O_2B-9sv9ewDFVdi4iHvbM/edit?usp=drivesdk
oh thanks!!
No problem!
Can I pour some tea
Ira lesbian
w... what?
I'm listening
LGBT headcanons
Ohhh Fawkes is ace
I heard LGBT headcanons so that’s my take
Raine also lesbian
Oh oh one more one more
Ooo?
i like lesbian shemira mainly because she's my favorite
Yess
Oh shoot I’m thinking about two bears Hogan and Morvus taking their newly adopted twink son Angelo on fun gay adventures
baden and kane... tragic love story
Thaden canon
100%
Thaneruto
Thaneruro and Badensuke
They just meet on the battlefield and scream each others names for 30 minutes
Oh I thought they said thane not Kane whoops
sddsg i meant thane but can't fucking spell

I don’t know enough about Quaedem other than that his design is fun and funky
Ik
But the one I’ve seen
Quaedam is just funky yknow
Ooof
Also if any of you have ever watched Steven Universe... athalia and dura give me pearlrose vibes
That’s what I mean... I don’t ship but... the parallels
havent seen much of su but yeah i get that
Yoooooo hey I see it
Lion is just bears with feline/feline aesthetic
ok that sounds amazing so valid
yesss
Ooo
New lore out
@hoary shell this is what i meant btw haha riju and buliara are the gerudo leader and her bodyguard
hy guys
Ahhhh I need to play Zelda... I switch is finally working again
I kind of hope a design for Quaedam is released eventually because whenever I read his name I just imagine Mannimarco from Daggerfall
They have some parallels so I suppose I'm not that wrong with my mental image
hello quick question, does lyca’s deer have a name?
I don't think so
The deer's name is acyl
Lololol
And cobra's q-boy is so good it makes me

Your q is rly cute like i adore him don't get me wrong
I love all of the QD’s I’ve seen a lot
Wait who's Cobra and where can I see their Quaedam art
Gravethirst™
Today is the first time I ever tried looking at the community
Thanks for telling me what to search, you're right, their design for Quaedam is really good
It's much more interesting than the typical cloaked necromancer but I'm a victim to high fantasy stereotypes
Well. Cloaked necromancers are sick. But my idea was generic
Character design is a hard skill to learn
Especially when you stray farther from humanoid
A human with many eyes is still a good idea
It alludes to the biblical angel
I'm thinking of Metatron mostly
He's important to me. He was described as gaining 3600 eyes and 36 wings upon ascending
I believe that description used the name Enoch
One minute
Metatron is said to be God's right hand man after Lucifer fell. He was a human man brought up to divinity for uh, whatever reason
"And He caused 72 wings to grow on me, 36 on each side. And each wing was as the whole world. (4) And He fixed on me 365 eyes : each eye was as the great luminary. " It seems like the amount is up to debate, but I found this in a translation of the Hebrew Book of Enoch
I saw one unsourced paper say 265000 eyes
Yes, one minute, I have to take care of something
The book of Enoch is free on line just Google the book of Enoch
https://archive.org/stream/HebrewBookOfEnochenoch3/BookOfEnoch3_djvu.txt This is the source I found but religious scripture translators are known for changing passages as they see fit
Hell, there are even passages I've found where one source will say God did something and another translation will credit that event to Satan
If you ever decide to take a glance at some scripture and find an interesting phrase, especially related to numbers, let me know. I like theology
And with it not being traditional Cannon those tranlation problems are more common do to less accountability
Haha, I don't remember.. I used the "find in page" function and searched 72
Translation issues also come with how much has changed in the Hebrew language since these texts have been written
Is there a specific point that doesn't correlate?
Press F to pay respects for ancient languages
What the hell?
If it helps what I linked was 3 Enoch
Have fun in class I'm living the good neet life for now
It's fun being a deadbeat graduate
Is it the book of Enoch or 3 Enoch you at looking at
Part 9 of my Evil Tasi fic coming in aprox. 10, 15 mins
Tasi slept through the night, barely, haunted by the demons of her recent past. Her uncorrupted side had begged for hours on end, but it was to no avail. But when she awoke, she had a gag in her mouth and Fawkes was preparing a ritual
"Oh, you're awake." He said, barely looking up from the book in front of him.
Tasi leaned as far as she could, reading the words 'Purification: A Guide' on the spine.
"What's that? Got something to say?" Fawkes said, removing the gag.
"You're seriously attempting to revert the conversion? There's no hope now! I've already been converted fully," Tasi lied, hoping he would buy it. "A mortal such as yourself would have no hope of reverting this."
"My point exactly..." Fawkes said as a shadow skittered up his arm.
"Oh lord, this brat again..." Tasi mumbled
"Hi!" Veviva innocently said, waving all of his four arms with glee.
Tasi sighed. "Hi, Veviva."
"Hey! That didn't sound too nice, now did it Ms. Mirael?" Veviva said, taking out one of his puppets.
Before she knew it, there was a searing pain in her skull, as if bits and pieces of her were being erased.
"Now, play nice you two..." Raine said, standing in the doorway, laughing as she did. But behind that laughter was fear, and the slightest glimmer of hope...
Not 'your nonsense', Angi! Your stories are actually kinda cute! And that's coming from one of the more adament GB haters
wait you're talking about quarden right and not "Khasos fucking dies?"
Playing tough to get

"fun"
Refer to part 6 or 7, when Tasi fucking killed Ulmus
yes
Oh shit i forgot to color the rest of my mourning Tasi pic
Well this is still all new to me
fINE
Part 9.1
And then Tasi casts a spell and Vevi dies, slowly and painfully. the end
but it was all a dream
That better?
i gotta say this is one hell of a story
the not vevi dying parts
Part 10.
Fawkes studied over the book of purification spells meticulously, searching for a hint to reverse Tasi's affliction. Throughout the days and nights, he made no progress.
"Maybe we should just… put her down?" Mirael suggested, making sure both Veviva and Tasi were out of earshot.
"No. I refuse to let it come to that." Fawkes said, with a true anger in his eyes. And he meant it, he would keep Tasi healthy, but weak enough to not be able to teleport, for weeks, before he started to doubt her ability to be saved… until one night, there was a knock at the door.
Veviva, staying up because of a nightmare, answered. "Hello?" He said, staring at the glowing white figure in front of him.
"Hi, is a Mister Fawkes here?" The female stranger asked.
"Yeah, but he's asleep."
"Well sh- Darn." She said, another figure appearing behind her.
"Well, my Sister here may have given up hope, but could you pass this along?" The new figure said, holding a brightly glowing book that was surprisingly light, for its size.
"Well, I'm not supposed to take items from strangers..."
"Oh, I'm sure we aren't strangers… are we, Lailah?" And just like that, they were gone. Veviva placed the book on Fawkes' nightstand, not thinking twice about it...
oh shit!! the twins
Yeah I wanted it to be Athalia but I knew she would just roundhouse kick Vevi into the oblivion for being a Hypogean


You imply that Wilders are immortal
And yet Part 5 proves you so very wrong
Just wait, all shall be reveiled in time
Yeah mb
“...Hmm? What is this?” Fawkes said, early in the morning, picking up the glowing gift from his nightstand.
“‘To the man known as Fawkes, may the stars shine in your favor on this day. From the stars, E and L.’ This couldn’t have been… the gods?” He looked outside his window to see a new constellation had been erected, in the shape of a butterfly. And he knew that this was right.
Fawkes put on the closest clothes he could find and raced down to the cellar that housed the former shell of Tasi.
“What? You read your book over and over, and not a single spell worked. You’re still try-” But something cut through the dark, scratchy voice. “Fawkes! If you can hear this, you do still have a chance!”
Fawkes didn’t waste a second more. He started the ritual, but he needed more ingredients to finish it. He needed the wing of a bat from the depths of the Barred Gate, a gift from the Gods, and a piece of whatever the corrupted one loved the most.
“I… I can help you find those things, Fawkes!” Tasi’s original voice crept to a whisper, after Fawkes inadvertently read the ingredients aloud. “Just fall asleep, all shall be revealed in the mornings to come!” And with that, Tasi’s eyelids closed once more.
oh noes im accidentally making it semi-wholesome and good hearted again 
don't worry, it gets more depressing as we go on further
I hope we get an animation short of the AFK Arena. For a mobile game, it has surprising amount of backstory/lore to characters. Which is surprising to me because I never cared for Idle mobile games until now lol.
same actually
Part 12
“I’m going to bed! Don’t wake me up!” Fawkes yelled, running to his bed.
“But, its midday…?” Raine wondered. “Why are you…”
“Don’t. Wake. Me. Up.” Fawkes responded, going to sleep then and there…**
“Ah, good, you’re asleep.” Tasi stated, in her misty, spiritual state. The only pure region of her left.
“What must I do? How do I get the ingredients to turn you back?” Fawkes asked, to the mist.
“I have a… friend. Mehira. She is the one who… who…” She said these words with an anger she had never felt before, the dream around her bursting into flames. “She is the best chance you shall get for bat wings. Slay her, and if you could? Make her suffer.”
“Of course, my friend. And for the thing you love the most?”
“Visit…" She writhed in a mix of sadness and pain. "Visit Yggdrasil. There will be many graves there of Treants. Next to one, shall be a purple rose. Break off a piece of that tree, and you shall have your piece. And for the gift from the gods… Well, you should write down that spell on a piece of parchment.”
“Of course. Is that all?”
**“Yes. Please, hurry. I can sense the corruption spreading to even here, and once this is converted, there is no hope left.”
You misspell yggdrasil btw.
fr*ck
well i just realized i accidentally opened up two branches: good ending and bad/sad/makes-me-mad-to-write ending
Write both. choose ur own adventure style.
Yea lol.
The lore for this game is amazing. I’ll take all the content I can get whether that be animated shorts or more character lore.
Like the setting is very much an amalgamation of European Medieval with Norse.
But it's done well.
they're putting out weekly lore on their facebook page!
right now it's focusing on the graveborn
i hope they do Wilder next
if I have to wait 9 months for it to roll over
imma be mad
Part 13
Fawkes awoke in a cold sweat. He jumped up, put on his hunting clothes, and went to work. Tasi had given him Mehira’s general location, somewhere near the Kings Manse. So thats where he went; crossing through the Wilder forest and paying his respects to Ulmus’ grave, before stopping for the night.
“I’m sorry. He must have been important to you.” He said, knowing Tasi had joined him again.
“Yes… he was the one who gave me a form in this realm. although it ended up… ended up…” Tasi’s voice turned to sobs, and Fawkes now knew how Ulmus had died.
“It wasn’t your fault. You had no control over the corruption.”
“I… I could have done something! I just... sat there, and let it happen!”
It was then that Fawkes knew: Mehira must suffer. She must be torn limb from limb, to make up for the pain she had caused to poor Tasi.
“No… that’s not how it should be done, Fawkes.” Apparently, being in his dream gave her telepathic abilities. “She must go swiftly, lest you stoop to her level.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes. Now awaken, and-”
She didn’t even need to finish the sentence before he was up and moving again.
Part 14
“Ah, I do wonder where that Tasi girl has ran off too… she hasn’t come back from that demon hunter encampment, and she should have been back weeks ago!” Mehira pondered, in an abandoned church in a mortal town called Kings Manse.
Fwip A flurry of crossbow bolts pierced both of her wings, pinning her to the church wall.
She let forth an unholy scream, summoning demonic minions to her aid. But a stranger in blue swatted them away like flies, grabbing one and ripping both of its wings off in one fluid motion. It was then that Mehira learned of the mortal feeling of “Fear.”
“So… You’re Mehira, correct?” the man in blue said, sharpening his knife on a portable grindstone
“Nggh, yes. Although it won’t matter, since slaves don’t need to know their masters names!” She said, chains rising up from the floor to ensnare him. But a flash of blue light pushed them away.
“N… no… It can’t be…”
“This one’s for Tasi, you complete and utter-” His rage-filled words became soft and cheery, yet somehow even angrier. “-shithead.” Tasi added at the very end, as Fawkes fired the final bolt to end Mehira’s dark reign.
“That’s odd… with Mehira dead, the affliction should be removed, but it appears to be growing more rapidly by the second! Please hu-” The voice cut out very suddenly, and Fawkes was teleported back to Yggdrasil in a puff of blue smoke.
lore: brutus is a bitch.
headcanon: brutus is a hard working father of 1, and he's just stressed
Ye
oops
you ever try and help your bud out and accidentally marry them?
yeah
also the fic is reaching its conclusion

78 backstories jesus
yeah imma actually make 2 endings bcuz i want my story to end in one of two ways
making good ending first bcuz happy
that sounds like a german folk tale
but yeah ig i should start on Parts 15a and 15b
Name him something really mundane
like "Hank"
also good ending is done, imma post both at the same time tho bcuz i hate myself
Ainsley
sounds good
Ugh, U
obviously means Aodh
15.a(s good as it gets ig)
And so Fawkes returned to his humble home, with all 3 ingredients in hand.
“I’ve got it, Tasi! You’re going to be OK!”
“N… NO!” the hypogean corruption stated, being exorcised from Tasi in a manner of minutes after the ritual was completed.
Tasi slipped down, after Fawkes undid her bondage that had held her corrupted body to the wall out of fear she- the hypogean scourge would kill them.
“Thank you… all of you… but I’ve still committed atrocities against all mortals, how will I ever live with myself?” Tasi asked, teary eyes and shaking from the trauma she had been through.
“Trust us,” a voice from the heavens stated, in a message seemingly only for her, “We wouldn’t let that happen to one of our own.”
For months after, she would ponder what the voice meant by that, but that didn’t matter. She would live with her new family, visiting Ulmus’ grave whenever she could. For the first time in about a year, she was truly happy.
15.b(ad)
However, Fawkes was far too late. When he returned to his home, there was only rubble. A note was left, next to a small figure. A puppet. Of Fawkes.
“Behind you,” the note read, and as he turned around he was impaled by a purple spike, and his demonic parasite grew stronger and stronger, until his mind was mush and his soul devoid of all meaning.
“Ah, you fool. You poor, pathetic, sorry fool. Looks like you were too late. Buh-bye.” The Nightstalker, Slayer of Light, Destroyer of Mortals and their kind, Tasi, had taken his life in a manner of seconds.
With her conscience gone, she single handedly retook Ranhorn, caring not for the men, women, and children that stood before her. She took the Yggdrasil by storm, corrupting the world tree itself, and all who stood against her was slain or converted, depending on their importance.
The mauler camp she had spared before was burned, with a single human female among the bodies found. A light-wielder. She was quick work.
With all other challenges gone, she took the Divine Realm by storm. Athalia, justice-bringer, was dead in seconds. She then converted Elijah and pitted the twins against each other in a fight to the death; Elijah won and was kept in her first army ranks. The world had fallen to Annih, and nobody could stop it.
and so the fic has ended
🦀 athalia is dead 🦀
very fucking bad
Also dont worry Vevi wasn't killed
merely re-converted

thats actually worse
bcuz he's gon get beat and tortured for abandoning his leader
im actually fucking tearing up
oh no now I need to do drawings for every single chapter
sniff really?
15.c
Tassi an fakwes then wented out for ice cream and Ulmos is aliv again yay
God I feel like I lost 20 braincells just writing that
Let's see, i did the first scene where Tasi is being converted, that actually counts for both the first and second one, and I've done Ulmus' death
So I need to still make 14 drawings
if my mental math is correct
Yeah 14
15 if i count 15.c as canon
Know what
15.D
uhh
the end
15.F
Everyone dies
Oh wait already did that
15.H
Tasi takes over Mehira's place as the Hypo-Ho
15.Y(eemchaw please this is Tasi please stop abusing me)
All canonical chapters

Sorry Larry
lord forgive me for what I must yabba dabba do
I already made Khalinda canon in the fic
Hell i gave them a fucking kid
What more can I do
:0 i know
Part 16, Epilogue
And as the sun set on Esperia, and Tasi's was canonically safe and sound, the hypogean scorgue ridden from her-
"No no no, this is how it should be:"
And as the sun dawned on the ruins of Esperia, only Tasi remained. No gods. No masters. No -
"Jesus, can I not just make it a happy story for once?"
"Listen, i don't know how they did it down in yeehaw country, but up here we face the music and make sad stories."
"Sigh fine. Compromise?"
"I'm willing to hear you out."
And as the sun set on Esperia, there was a singular figure at a treant grave.
"Ulmus... I'm so so sorry..." Tasi said through teary eyes, her friends hands on her shoulder.
"Stay as long as you like." Fawkes said, turning to give her privacy.
She stayed until dawn the next morning, as if tears could bring him back...
"So?"
"... Not dark enough."
bit meta but didn't make it too obvious
Well shit
wait what was that?
Ok so I, for some godforsaken reason, want to continue this series
(also i don't know how you didn't comment on me very heavily hinting that Tasi is a celestial)
tasi is the perfect killing machine, as pointed out in... well...gestures at entire bad ending
yawns
what did i miss
wow thats some good lore
this is why i like this game, the characters all have well developed backgrounds
Sorry for this interruption, but a couple of days ago someone was talking about Thane's arm being on wrong place, as per his portrait and in game sprite
well, i said his arm is mechanical, and can switch places
here is proof
That's a mirroring thing in the game, instead of making a while new sprite for the opposite side, they just flip the sprite
Also he only lost one arm in the battle, I don't know why he'd bother replacing his good arm with a mechanical one and still leave his other one a stump.
Is this a joke or is it serious because I really honestly can't tell the difference
Is it too much to ask for both?
Or maybe I'm afraid of making myself look like an idiot when I mistake jokes for serious lore discussion
So I have to ask now or get made fun of for taking shit seriously
Just classic animation error, exists in games, tv shows, and even in some movies, though it is usually more sudle
I believe it is just a joke, cause somebody was wondering about it, and I made up a story about him having a mechanical arm
as in "Since i lost my arm, I need to be stronger, thus I need to improve/boost my other arm. Therefore, I have decided to transform my arm into a bionic mechanical cheat boosted arm."
His arm has an aimbot installed so he never misses a strike
:/ lmao whatever just don't confuse ppl who want to talk real lore
Yeah, the Sprite is likely just flipped and therefore still messy.
Hephaestus would be Ulmus or Ezizh, depending on whether Aphrodite is Tasi or Mehira respectively
o h
Ok now here's where we get gendy-bendy
Zeus is Belinda
Oh yeah I remember him now
Ok so in that case Zeus is Mirael
y e s
Hera is...
Ankhira
Ok I take it back
Safiya is Hera so that Ankhira can be Arachne
Dura and Annih are Gaea and Uranus
Yeah but still
... yeah ok
who now
Well that's not creepy at all
y e s
Zeusus and Ganysos
Grezhul
I mean ig
Nemora is Persephone, random gb is Hades
Persephone literally cried to Dad about how her uncle kidnapped her
I'd say that's wimpy
although I could be forgetting shit idk
Fair fair
Yeah but Shem went through on her own accord, Persephone was kidnapped
Yeah true
So there's most of the majors, who's Nemora?
I just realized satrana was the kid that antandra saved

Ok and that right there is my strongest argument for why heroes need to talk to each other in battle but thats a topic for another time
They should debate stuff instead of Killing each other 😎
Well obviously not converse with the enemy
if my bois thane and baden be in the same team and they do their victory animations, it h a s to be replaced by thane just ripping baden’s mask off and smooching him-
mother daughter and holy graveborn DURA HI WE WANT CANON GAYS THX mother daughter and holy graveborn
"Wish granted, Ed. Dura is now hella gay for Isabella"
Grezhul gay thoran nay
Gotta eat so thats all i can contribute to convo
The thing is, even if Hendric has a dead husband, necromancy already exists.
Graveborn door.
Graveborn door.
@cyan sparrow listen if the WC novels told me anything, not communicating your darkest secrets that could kill others is 100% fine and the norm.
What's y'all favorite lore in AFK?
Graveborn
graveborn
if we're being specific then i really like baden and vedan's lore the most
Hendrik
But that's obvious
Dab
Generally i think the graveborn lore is the best written
I just
Hendrik is.
Good.
ulmus is a tree.
Roses are red,
Ulmus is a tree,
Until he was killed,
At the hands of Tasi
Why u do this
I don't know I was peer pressured into making evil tase fanfic
hmm I wonder
yeah but you would peer pressure someone into writing dark bad and evil fic
all you said was evil you never said with whom

ok 1 I wouldnt
2 I'm sad you would even consider
3 this has reminded me of ulmus being killed by tasi and I'm sad again
evil
evil = evil fic
evil fit = evil tasi fic
evil tasi fic = ulmus commiting involuntary die
Part 16 of evil tasi fic (you thought it was over? you fools)
(also 15.a is canonical because 15.b basically wrapped the entire thing up)
But as they say, there is no rest for the wicked. As soon as Annih had heard of Tasi's unconversion, he was furious. He looked for his second in command, and brought him forth at once.
"Master Annih, you called me?" Ezizh said, the void in front of him looking more angry than usual.
"Do you remember... Tasi?" Annih called.
"Yes, wasn't she converted by Mehira, however? Where is Mehira, anyway?"
"All in good time... I want you to find Tasi... and... 'Eliminate' her."
"Not a recovery operation, sir?"
"No... Simple search... and... destroy..."
yeah its short bcuz at grandmama's house and its a communal computer sooo
what is the summary lore of satrana?
^
If that's a staple of the maulers I hope it changes quickly.
Yeah, I hope we get more lore of the story moving forward
How the hypogean invasion forces the factions to reconsider how they've been operating, etc
There's so many snippets in the Bounty Board descriptions, and which faction heroes are needed
LOL they're actually really cool and kinda give a little insight into how the factions are interacting after they have to allign
LB: Fanatical inquisitors, land-grabbing colonizers
Wilder: Insular, elitist, tree huggers?
The dwarves are taking over that new island on the World Map
and coming into blows with the natives
It's funny how this is a chinese game but the closest anything asian is Kelthur the not-ninja
He carries a giant shuriken and does the hand thing
He's not even subtle
Also I would argue on the Asian front that there is some South Asian influence (India, for example) in some of the maulers
yeah the maulers have pretty heavy middle eastern influences in general
oo
Fitting, it means 'guarding'
Safiya is a pretty popular Arabic name and means 'pure'
Ohh
I wonder if Khasos has a specific origin or if it's jist
*just an edgy rewording of chaos
it means apocalypse
I think. Or i am misreading something
Probably
Howdy y’all let’s get wild
Fact - Kelthur’s diet is 100% poptarts and Oreos now that he’s undead and it doesn’t matter
Only when he remembers his family murdered him and he has a little Ben & jerrys cry
niru goes ''hey are you hungry'' and kelthur says ''no'' but niru knows hes hungry as fuck for oreos
when niru walks out of the room, kelthur chomps on the oreos as if hes been starving since his existence
he doesnt even dip them in milk
Vedan prepares a lavish multi course meal for all the GB
YES
Kelthur says no thanks, goes into his room, eats Nutella with his hands
Vedan catches him later covered in Nutella.
“You’re an animal!”
“...as if catching me covered in hazelnut spread compares to me catching you coated in blo-“
“BLONDIE BROWNIES YES AHAHA. Of course”
WOKE:
Isa/Rowan thanks for coming to my TED talk
vedan cant cook but he can bake
Tbh Angelo/Silvina and Isa/Rowan sibling romance thanks.
hey do you think vedan baths in blood
No he just puts food coloring in water
Because he’s a fake Instagram ho
He’d photoshop all his photos and show Niru and Niru’s like
“I was a doctor. Ribs don’t work like that.”
bold of u to assume he photoshops them
“WHAT ARE YOU IMPLYING”
he pays people
Imagining character’s relationship to social media is hilarious
kelthur uploads anime cosplays
I wish I’d brought my sketch book with me. I feel confident enough today to share art
niru: are you dressed up as sasuke
kelthur: what? no i just dress like this
niru: oh
Raine and Mirael run a prank Channel
fawkes is the one being pranked on
He is beloved by the fans because his response is always quite dry
No matter how ridiculous the prank
Except the one time they convince him red pandas went extinct and he gets genuinely upset
la¨åla
Nemora runs a minimalism, environmental sustainability, and plant care blog.
No I lied
yes but she vapes in secret
It’s only sustainability, vegan recipes, and plants. EIRONN is the strict minimalist channel.
Vape nash Nemora
wait models of train or like, training to be a model
Tasi as much as I hate to say this does ASMR to help people sleep
Little trains Choo choo
ahhh
käekspkf also yeah tasi def does asmr lol
do you think tasi and mehira make asmr collabs
Oh yeah it’s weird as heck
No, Tasi does the semi-normal ASMR just to help people sleep and Mehira does the...other kind
övlflkaåfkla
Don’t lie to yourself
lmaoooo
yOU HAVE THE PLAGUE IM SCREAMING
Tasi is 100% a bratty dominatrix don’t LIE TO ME
We've been OVER THIS, THATS MEHIRA
yall stepping over a fine line rn
IF SHE (Mehira) DOESN'T GET HER WAY SHE LITERALLY TORTURES PEOPLE
the EYES
Well yeah mads of course the eyes will be unblinking in a PAINTING
NO LOOK
faefkaefka
LOOK AT THE HORROR
WHAT HORROR
Chief i still aint seeing this "horror" you speak of
Yeah i know What, what about him?
Because I’m a young woman and a fancy law student person
oh oh no
And they’re like “listen this is weird but I want a young, high powered woman to tell me I’m stupid, take my money, and then block me”
AND I DO NOT REPLY
I do NOT
Tasi

Tasi does not reply cause 1. she's actually old as fuck and 2. she wouldn't understand how Instagram works
technically thats 2 points
happy now VL
Also if anyone else is a young high powered woman and would like to take this man out of my inbox, please let me know
yes thank you yeem
i doubt thats an issue
but yeah, sorry bout weird internet men attempting to slide into your DMs like an underage person tries to slide past the bouncer at a bar
she would and that scares me
Idk sometimes the messages are prettt funny
So I don’t terribly mind since it’s easy to block them if they cease being funny
ok that works too yeem
yeah I get added to a group message from a bot every month or so and I always just say "wow this is terrible service, can't bother cat fishing each of us individually smh" and then leave
yeah
Why is he speciaaaaal
bcuz he can resist her mind control thingy
neat
does it?
why not
maybe
its both
the parasite is hermaphroditic
And I say that rather than intersex because I mean hermaphroditic in the animal sense, being able to bear and uh...make children
either way the parasite is gay
hell yeah
fla¨lfalfae
how do you delete ur comments so fast tho
valid answer
Bruh
Lord
wew
Lmao
What did I walk into 👀👀
Me making a mess
(X) to doubt
Headcanon: Q is playing hard to get
Fjsjskekwkfow
you just did
i know
I'm thinking like. My Q and warden are more deity/zealot
hey as am i
But I’m weak
And what’s wrong with that
🎵 it means I can't write dark fanfics which is basically the only thing people want on here 🎵
Grab the song here: iTUNES: http://smarturl.it/AJRTheClickit SPOTIFY: http://smarturl.it/AJRWETspotify ON TOUR: http://www.AJRBrothers.com/tour Check us out ...
yeah and that one is me
I can write Mary Sues very very well
Topp quality. Should not miss
dark fics r lame
i'd write fics for this but the only thing i've written that was well recieved was some truly depraved smut
Hahahaha
I mean
its a big one
know what Im gonna pretend I didn't see that
good plan
but yeah I've written like 2 or 3 fics, only one being dark
and its my longest one too
by dark what yall mean
like Tasi killing Ulmus dark
because there's a lot of flavors fic can come in
Suffering
edgy then
literal torture
edgier than an X-Acto
oh lord
why?
WELL
can't say I blame you
I honestly can't think of any graveborn pet names
"cutie bones" "sweet rot"
"hey, can eye see you tonight QD?"
WHAT
I HATE THIS
nO
we've been over this
that's Mehira
Ah ok
Headcanon that Fawkes uses his dramatic “parasite gives me powers” as a coverup to the fact that he has a tapeworm and is just a magic user
So he does have a tapeworm
Well, it's said in lore explicitly that his hand is possessed by a demon, so no, not a tapeworm.
The demon didn't give him powers, not really, but he more or less stole them from the demon, wrangling it under control
that’s what I’d say too if I had a tapeworm yeah I was reading it a bit ago and noticed that
Okay but idk if this is just me or not but Fawkes has some extreme FMA energy
wheeze
I saw that
Get back in here
:O
thank I’ll be ur horrific un-mom
wheezes
"and for my next trick I need a sacrifice from the audience"
raine raises their hands
XD
That’s it we’ve unlocked the code
It’s just AFK but it’s FMA
beautiful
I’m gonna take your arm and leg and beat you with it XD
It’s ironic because I have a friend who based a character off Al and he’s a necromancer with no hand so Fawkes dealings with the undead are really funny to me
We’ve really come full circle
Right fuck
I’m bad with names
I went through 3 avengers movies before I remembered the hulk’s name
And I still forget it
I’m still calling the dad “Markiplier” i miss him
valid
Uhhhh the good one
Hughes! That’s the bitch!
I remembered
sorry I was on FMA still lol
Purest goodness dad
I wish I had a dad
sorry XD
oh :O
Mood
I have an emotional attachment to Niru since I got him
Niru just does that
Nirugood
“I’ve had Niru for one day and if anything happens to him I will kill everyone in this room and then myself” I’ve maxed him out and I cry that I cannot raise him higher
Tbh
Same!!!
I still insist on using him
Well i haven't maxed him out but
Make niru ascended 2019
I'm getting another to L+ to sacrifice to Shemira but I'm. Never foddering my first one
I agree
Ok but he's like
Useful
For a long time
Of course he does
And I will scorn the lore if it ever says otherwise
Niru is
Choice meat
Omg I should. Post the pin up i did of Niru once.
:3
I posted it like ages ago but we have new ppl since then
SHOW ME PIN UP
Show me the pin up
Dkdkakfkwf
It's good
