#

she could have LIED to elicit the response she wanted

#

she could have disguised herself as a poor orphan like she used to be and killed him when he came too close pitying her

#

she could have BEFRIENDED her mark's kid and got into his HOUSE

#

she was thinking like she was an adult and ignored her best advantage

#

for shame

#

also though she was like ten so im not holding her mistakes against her

#

the worst part, the WORST part of her little assassin mess up though

#

was that she had LEVERAGE

#

someone wanted this guy dead! and she knew who!

#

she could have just. "if i die i cant tell you who ordered me to kill you"

#

if being young wasnt enough to garner her a doctor, the potential information would have at least prolonged her life long enough for an escape attempt from wherever they put her

#

what i need is to get her sister so i can read HER lore and decide how i feel about that whole mess of a death family

#

dont get me wrong im glad the orphans found a parent who didnt mind their stabbing and black magic

#

its a case of bad person decent father

#

also, when he found out only one of the children was magic he found a way to make the other one useful enough to justify keeping

#

i respect him not seperating the set, despite the fact that he wasnt signing up for kids but for benefit investments

#

treetrunk arms mc sad because he scares people is the literal definition of a gentle giant and i am here for that

#

they did i really good job with his character design because even before i read his lore i was like white braids and his tweeties? softe

#

like i saw his huge af arms and the was he was standing and my brain went hmmm that looks like a father figure who would let his children climb all over his huge arms and coo at babies

#

sadly i read the lore and the book was like do you want some fun information?

#

he does his best but children cry at the sight of him and it hurts his feelings

#

EXCUSE ME

#

who looks at someone huge and doesnt just immediately think, huh i bet they had to learn how to be gentle

#

anyone more than six feet tall and built like an ox is going to be constantly focusing on being careful

#

when my mother started doing physical labor she accidentally shattered a light bulb because she didnt know that she had to gentle her grip and hold glass like it was. well. spun glass.

#

if youre huge it takes EFFORT not to break things

#

mice and mushrooms over there is so important!

#

im sad that no one had the guts and the empathy to befriend him i can understand why he prefers animals

#

even other wilds are like ahhh monster, huge lumbering and scary

#

LEARN SOME COURTESY PEOPLE

#

anyway even though i love the neceomancer and dead type the most green giant is staying on my team because hes more valid than anybody

#

i would like to formally clarify that i dont hate the vampire lord because he lacks any sort of kindness or empathy. thats a personality trait. i hate him because he thinks that being rich says something about his worth, and valuing people based on their income is something that makes me want to clock the perpetrator in the face. he looks down on the poor even though privelege is something youre given not something you earn, and theres a difference between founded superiority and unfounded superiority. also hes hoarding resources which is objecticely a dick move

#

what did he do with all those books when he ditched the castle? did he burn them so no one else could have the knowledge and he covets it?

dark heath Sep 13, 2019, 9:57 AM

#

u have good thoughts

hidden sage Sep 13, 2019, 9:57 AM

#

did he gift them to his newly aquired magic streetchild? did he take them with him wherever he went so they could continue being a resource?

#

thank you

#

or, and this is the one i do not like, did he just leave all those rare, likely some one of a kind, very illegal forbidden knowledge books in the castle to either moulder away or be destroyed by the villagers for the greater good because they cant conceptualize valuing knowledge for the sake of knowledge and they think no one should know those things

#

@dark heath its five in the morning, i havent slept, and the lore left me with questions that could have been answered via comic or epilogue

dark heath Sep 13, 2019, 10:00 AM

#

oh its okay! you can ramble on

hidden sage Sep 13, 2019, 10:01 AM

#

you know who i just remembered?

#

the self harming adrenaline junkie who has an inferiority complex and is both impatient and lacks observation skills despite being raised in a culture that deeply values hunting as one of its key cornerstones

dark heath Sep 13, 2019, 10:03 AM

#

oh saveas?

hidden sage Sep 13, 2019, 10:03 AM

#

i think thats his name

dark heath Sep 13, 2019, 10:03 AM

#

yes saveas

#

the antelope man

hidden sage Sep 13, 2019, 10:04 AM

#

he decided that since being stabbed gave him adrenaline and endorphines he should just go ahead and start stabbing himself

#

hes going to mess up his own brain chemistry or accidentally slice an artery or something

#

also, if theres at least one vampire that ive already learned of, there are likely more heros who can either leech his blood for their own health or whose weapon of choice might be something more effective on an open wound

#

hes going to go up in a fight against the spider poison queen and the vampire and be at an instant double disadvantage because he doesnt have the sensenotto start the battle for his enemies

#

his brother was good at something and he was an edgelord to compensate

#

also, if youre chasing a creature known for its difficulty to survive an encounter with, and you lose sight of that creature then thats a sign to just give up and go home

#

oh, and what was stopping him from either assembling a hunting party or hunting with his brotherto learn?

#

if they were both the ones going out hunting i would not mentally keep track of which one of them was more advanced

#

i would just be like, oh, there goes those two brothers who are the best in the village, theyre known for being unprecedentedly amazing hunters

#

i would watch them bring home game and be like wow that family

#

i would not care one whit about who spotted what theyd killed first or landed the finishing blow. i would be busy thinking oh isnt it great that food was hunted down and now we dont have to worry about starving for a while

#

he has no patience he cant even wait for his enemies to attack him he has to preemptively stab himself

hidden sage Sep 13, 2019, 3:08 PM

#

What is vedan up to now. Playing with demonic stuff.

cyan sparrow Sep 14, 2019, 2:50 AM

#

he just wants to cosplay as a unicorn, cut him a break

#

but yeah, he is a necromancer so i wouldn't be surprised to hear he's playing with demonic magic and arcane rituals

fossil rose Sep 14, 2019, 3:24 AM

#

I'm fine with the arcane stuff, that is graveborn's thing, but why are they playing with hypogean majic, that only strengthens Hyperion influence on them

marble brook Sep 14, 2019, 3:29 AM

#

Because he thinks it'll turn him into one

hidden sage Sep 14, 2019, 5:09 AM

#

maybe hes trying to reverse engineer the magic so he can flip their alignments by force

hidden sage Sep 14, 2019, 5:40 AM

#

maybe he just wants more power

#

maybe he wants to eat their power and claim it as his own

#

maybe he wants to supercharge spells or something

#

you know whos hot

#

niru

#

niru is hot hes super competent at everything he does i have a crush

zenith pond Sep 14, 2019, 5:46 AM

oh mood

living up to your name huh

#

i tease :p

zenith pond Sep 14, 2019, 5:50 AM

#

oh yeah no thats

#

the joke

#

someone compared liking the graveborn to necrophilia a good long while back so I changed my nickname

hidden sage Sep 14, 2019, 5:53 AM

#

but theyre sentient

#

they can consent

zenith pond Sep 14, 2019, 5:53 AM

#

ikr

#

it was dumb lmao

#

Keeping this on lore, though, I really do love Niru's lore. He's a super successful medic who got really compassion fatigued and turned to necromancy. His whole story really deals with the horrors of war a lot more than other hero stories, even thane's is rly kinda sugar coated imo

hidden sage Sep 14, 2019, 5:55 AM

#

there is nothing you can do to a graveborn thats going to desecrate them more than the unholy magic theyve performed thats the tea

also yeah i dig that he didnt just leave the unsavable to suffer that was 10/10

#

plus he was nice to then like he tild them hed fix it and he did

zenith pond Sep 14, 2019, 5:56 AM

#

yEAH his killing was literally only ever mercy killing in life

#

even if he experimented a little, it was never noticeable.

hidden sage Sep 14, 2019, 5:56 AM

#

everybody else was putting those corpses out there too he wasnt gonna just waste a resourse

#

upcycling

zenith pond Sep 14, 2019, 5:56 AM

#

he just found a subject that fascinated him and distracted him from what was happening.

#

LOL

#

necromancy described as upcycling isn't something i ever thought i'd hear

hidden sage Sep 14, 2019, 5:57 AM

#

its a valid take my use of the word was technically accurate

zenith pond Sep 14, 2019, 5:58 AM

#

I mean ur right

#

i just never thought i'd hear it

#

also i will never accept anything other than him loving shemira 150%

#

His love for her made her OP in her unlife sagely nod

hidden sage Sep 14, 2019, 6:00 AM

#

nO SPOILERS

#

im not there yet xp

zenith pond Sep 14, 2019, 6:01 AM

#

LOL you can read their lore even if you don't have them yet, I'm pretty sure

hidden sage Sep 14, 2019, 6:01 AM

#

then i have some investigating to do dont i

hidden sage Sep 14, 2019, 6:19 AM

#

listen problematic take but after he was executed and his sone was sad niru asked him if he wanted to join him and then set it up so that once his son died he could raise him

#

and then poisoned or cursed him and waited until his wife was at her worst before making the offer to her once she would be too relieved to be horrified

#

like its possible his son just got sick but its equally possible he didnt want to face eternity without his family

zenith pond Sep 14, 2019, 6:21 AM

#

I could see that. He wants her in the afterlife and his compassion fatigue is still on him, so he sees no problem with making her suffer a little so they can all be together

hidden sage Sep 14, 2019, 6:21 AM

#

if he didnt kill them on his terms he might not have been able to bring them bacj

#

wouldnt want that to happen and life is so risky

#

if MY husband discovered the secret to necromancy i would expect an invite into immortality and power

zenith pond Sep 14, 2019, 6:23 AM

#

I like to think that the period between niru's death and Shemira/Daimon's rebirth was when Niru was still under himself, waiting for his own spells to work to raise himself. So he couldn't have known Daimon was dying or he might have stepped in much earlier after his death.

#

But I could see him doing that, too

hidden sage Sep 14, 2019, 6:24 AM

#

that makes sense

#

it really depends on how much angst and betrayal you go in for

zenith pond Sep 14, 2019, 6:24 AM

#

ye

hidden sage Sep 14, 2019, 6:25 AM

imagine the creepy cold corpse of his dad showing up to daimon and being like dont worry mommy will come too

#

10/10 villain story right there

rotund flame Sep 14, 2019, 6:44 AM

hey anyone have any idea what the hecc thane is doing in the new graveborn lore?

dark heath Sep 14, 2019, 6:45 AM

#

He boutta get shot

zenith pond Sep 14, 2019, 6:47 AM

#

I think he was just a figure they decided to use for a background purpose

#

that said I'd love to see a story where he's investigating a mysterious shipwreck and Ferael tries to snipe him

rotund flame Sep 14, 2019, 6:54 AM

#

hell yea

hidden sage Sep 14, 2019, 7:04 AM

hot take but the fox thief with the bombs is basically jillas from slayers

#

📎 Screenshot_20190914-050836.png

#

i come with proof so that

#

you may see that my accusations

#

are not unfounded

#

he uses the bombs so flamboyantly that i honestly forgot he had other weapons

#

the little thief stole the sword of light on accident

#

thats why my theory is that the little fox theif didnt actually steal the poison

#

i think he is the paramour of the spider queen and she let him in

fossil rose Sep 14, 2019, 4:16 PM

#

Did you read the spider queen's Union story in the library yet @hidden sage

hidden sage Sep 14, 2019, 4:17 PM

#

i read her book she came with but idk abt the library

fossil rose Sep 14, 2019, 4:25 PM

#

In the library there are Union storys, read the one with her

hidden sage Sep 14, 2019, 11:31 PM

#

hmmmm sphinx are do they best

summer bane Sep 15, 2019, 4:14 PM

#

Are wilders and maulers the same race, except one lives in the barren lands, while the other in lush forests?

light aurora Sep 15, 2019, 4:16 PM

#

maybe maulers are wilders who rebelled themselves

#

not satisfied by the lack of violence

summer bane Sep 15, 2019, 4:18 PM

#

I also find it weird with Safiya, Nemora and Golus different from the other animal people

#

I mean males (wilders and maulers) have animal heads, while females have human heads. But somehow these 3 just didn’t follow the rest m

light aurora Sep 15, 2019, 4:22 PM

#

its the feminine touch

#

but safiya, antandra and satrana do have animal head

summer bane Sep 15, 2019, 4:23 PM

#

They have animal ears at most

#

All females (mauler and wilder) have animal ears, and not full on animal heads like the males.

light aurora Sep 15, 2019, 4:24 PM

#

imagine antandra with brutus' face x)

#

wouldnt it be ugly ?

#

or actually just deceiving

summer bane Sep 15, 2019, 4:24 PM

#

Just curious why Safiya, Nemora and Golus have 4 legs

#

Hahaha

#

It’ll just be full on furry haha

light aurora Sep 15, 2019, 4:26 PM

#

well they're coming from deities, or legends

summer bane Sep 15, 2019, 4:27 PM

#

Afaik, Kaz is a cat. Ira is a wolf/dog. Lyca is a rabbit. Antandra a tiger. Satrana a Fox. All of these walk with 4 legs, but they are all human-like

#

Even Nemora?

#

I would agree with Golus and Safiya, since they are centaur and sphinx

light aurora Sep 15, 2019, 4:28 PM

#

Gorvo is a turtle, but on his back feet xD

summer bane Sep 15, 2019, 4:29 PM

#

Yeah lol

light aurora Sep 15, 2019, 4:29 PM

#

Arden looks like a goat too right ?

summer bane Sep 15, 2019, 4:30 PM

#

Yeah. Not to mention Arden and Ogi seem like they are the same race with Nemora

#

Goat people

#

And yet they don’t have 4 legs, but stand upright

light aurora Sep 15, 2019, 4:30 PM

#

Saveas looks like from the same kind as Arden

summer bane Sep 15, 2019, 4:30 PM

#

Saveas is definitely an antelope

#

And yeah all the male mauler and wilders all stand on 2 legs

#

But Golus????

light aurora Sep 15, 2019, 4:31 PM

#

the only one i find actually weird is Ankhira

summer bane Sep 15, 2019, 4:31 PM

#

4 legs hahaha

#

Ankhira is spider lmao, which follows the pattern with the rest. Fully humanoid with some features of what it’s supposed to be.

light aurora Sep 15, 2019, 4:32 PM

#

i would of put her in the hypogean race imo

#

humanoid arms/hands, put the legs?

#

but*

summer bane Sep 15, 2019, 4:33 PM

#

Nemora really disturbs me to be honest because you have Arden and Ogi, both goat people (and they have human faces too, unlike the other mauler males)

#

What is the consistency ahaha, which ones are one race

#

I need to categorise hahaah

light aurora Sep 15, 2019, 4:35 PM

#

ogi has a bull kind of face

summer bane Sep 15, 2019, 4:35 PM

#

Ankhira follows the mauler/wilder format. Animal crossed with humans. Hypogeans are downright devilish creatures, which aren’t animal x human hybrids. They are just whatever they want to be lmao

#

Yeah, like Golus.

#

But if it follows the rest of the male maulers, I would expect Ogi, Arden and Golus to look similar to Saveas, with a snout

#

But they aren’t!!!

#

Whyyyy

light aurora Sep 15, 2019, 4:36 PM

#

you never know under that big ass beard of Arden xD

summer bane Sep 15, 2019, 4:38 PM

#

That’s definitely human nose, like Golus and Ogi both have. The other mauler males have no human nose, but full on animal heads. Why the inconsistency? Are they not the same race or what?

light aurora Sep 15, 2019, 4:38 PM

#

but maybe there's a big chin hidden there

dark heath Sep 15, 2019, 4:40 PM

#

lilith is too much of a coward to make furry women and thats about the only reason why the female maulers/wilders look that way.

summer bane Sep 15, 2019, 4:42 PM

#

I’m okay with male and females differentiated by animal head or no animal head. Just miffed by the decision on some having 4 legs, wilders and maulers looking like they are basically the same animal x human hybrid race.

dark heath Sep 15, 2019, 4:43 PM

#

it's bad design.

summer bane Sep 15, 2019, 4:43 PM

#

Like how do I categorise them?

dark heath Sep 15, 2019, 4:43 PM

#

the difference between maulers and wilders is mainly cultural and aesthetic wise.

summer bane Sep 15, 2019, 4:43 PM

#

There’s no official lore on this too right?

dark heath Sep 15, 2019, 4:43 PM

#

if you remove that they are probably the exact same.

#

theres lore.

#

only from the character's though. nothing main.

summer bane Sep 15, 2019, 4:43 PM

#

Yeah

#

The character pores are pretty vague in terms of what they really are

#

Lores*

#

Visually Ogi, Arden and Nemora carry similar traits

fair wasp Sep 15, 2019, 4:45 PM

#

I pretty much hate that female Maulers are practically furries

#

honestly I wish we had more info about the culture because that’s the part of the lore I’m fascinated about

#

like I’m not as into character stories

summer bane Sep 15, 2019, 4:46 PM

#

I’m fine with character stories but I want to read more into world lore and race lore

#

Well, they aren’t full on furries yet hahahah

dark heath Sep 15, 2019, 4:46 PM

#

the female maulers arent furries lmao

#

theyre just women with animal ears and tails

summer bane Sep 15, 2019, 4:47 PM

#

Basically nekomimi level characters, which for furry standards, aren’t furry at all

dark heath Sep 15, 2019, 4:47 PM

#

yeah

#

theyre kemomimi

summer bane Sep 15, 2019, 4:47 PM

#

Yeah kemonomimi*

#

Probably closest to a furry is Nemora?

dark heath Sep 15, 2019, 4:48 PM

#

not realy?

#

she's a taur.

light aurora Sep 15, 2019, 4:48 PM

#

she a sheep

#

;D

summer bane Sep 15, 2019, 4:48 PM

#

Sheeptaur lol

#

Like I’m irked Nemora is a centaur offshoot, but Arden and Ogi who has similar ears, face and horns aren’t one.

#

Like is Nemora some hybrid race gone wrong? Lol

#

Or maybe Arden and Ogi being the hybrids gone wrong. Since lore wise Ogi is half giant

fair wasp Sep 15, 2019, 4:51 PM

#

they’re gonna become furries soon though

#

or not because people just love sexualized mauler females

#

and yeah the character stories are pretty nice and I don’t mind it but there’s nothing we really know about the world

dark heath Sep 15, 2019, 4:52 PM

#

i doubt lilith is gonna give us a furry woman

#

they have an audience to cater to.

summer bane Sep 15, 2019, 4:53 PM

#

Lilith is a Chinese company

#

And Chinese aren’t into furries

dark heath Sep 15, 2019, 4:53 PM

w

summer bane Sep 15, 2019, 4:53 PM

#

Kemonomimi is the way to go hahaha

dark heath Sep 15, 2019, 4:54 PM

#

if that was completley true the mauler men would be kemomimis, but they arent.

#

they just arent gonna make female furries bc they arent what their audience wants.

#

its what hte weebs like, u could say

fair wasp Sep 15, 2019, 4:55 PM

#

I see

dark heath Sep 15, 2019, 4:56 PM

#

people also rly hate furries lmao

summer bane Sep 15, 2019, 4:56 PM

#

They are okay with furry males. Journey to the west for example, are the cast of monkey, pig and water demon lol

dark heath Sep 15, 2019, 4:57 PM

#

huh?

summer bane Sep 15, 2019, 4:57 PM

#

The rest of the demons in journey to the west, specifically females, even though part animal, have human faces

#

Furry males are cool for them if I can say that

#

Well, I can say so cause I used to consume such content myself, since I’m Chinese lmao

fair wasp Sep 15, 2019, 5:21 PM

#

I’m actually reading into the characters’ lore now

hidden sage Sep 15, 2019, 6:37 PM

#

the female caharacters have to be able to Perform Beauty, its the uhhhm sexism

dark heath Sep 15, 2019, 6:38 PM

#

pretty much

gritty viper Sep 15, 2019, 6:43 PM

#

Is it a bad thing that they're all pretty whatthefawkes

dark heath Sep 15, 2019, 6:47 PM

#

thats not the point.

#

its that theyre ONLY allowed to be pretty.

#

you have both conventionally attractive and non-conventionally attractive male characters in the game, theres only one variation of the first one for the females.

#

its a bad double standard.

gritty viper Sep 15, 2019, 6:49 PM

#

Isn't that a good thing? But there's Nara if you want an ugly female character

dark heath Sep 15, 2019, 6:49 PM

#

double standards arent good.

#

anyway thats rly the reason why the female character designs are the way they are.

meager yew Sep 15, 2019, 6:50 PM

Waiting?

fossil rose Sep 15, 2019, 6:50 PM

It's the idea women are defined by their physical beauty, not their skills or personality. That is the problem

gritty viper Sep 15, 2019, 6:51 PM

#

@meager yew AFK Arena

#

The lore is noice

#

And the characters each have their own lil thing that makes you hate them or like them

meager yew Sep 15, 2019, 6:52 PM

True. Is Lore the stories?

gritty viper Sep 15, 2019, 6:52 PM

#

Yup

meager yew Sep 15, 2019, 6:52 PM

#

Backgrounds of the characters?

gritty viper Sep 15, 2019, 6:52 PM

And the union tales in the library

meager yew Sep 15, 2019, 6:52 PM

#

Are they well written?

dark heath Sep 15, 2019, 6:52 PM

#

its a mobile gacha

#

the standards come from there

#

i like the lore

gritty viper Sep 15, 2019, 6:52 PM

#

If you can read some broken English is alright

meager yew Sep 15, 2019, 6:53 PM

#

I’m still getting to know it

#

I struggle to see any challenge in it though

dark heath Sep 15, 2019, 6:54 PM

#

challenge is a vague term in a game like this

#

you get stuck at points

#

and thats about it for challenge

gritty viper Sep 15, 2019, 6:54 PM

#

This is not lore related but how far are you into the game?

#

meager yew Sep 15, 2019, 6:54 PM

Nara isn’t an “ugly” female

#

she’s graveborn but she’s still got a pencil thin figure

#

she’s wearing a revealing, barely there outfit too

#

once again, all female heroes look like models and male heroes look, well, like actual people

Nara looks like a little Frankenstein

#

Too much body marks for my taste but this is not totally lore related so poop

fair wasp Sep 15, 2019, 9:42 PM

#

it focuses on the characters and designs so I’d say it’s fine on here

#

I mean some females aren’t exactly my taste on this game either

#

But they’re all somewhat revealing

static cargo Sep 15, 2019, 10:01 PM

#

When people are talking about females all looking conventionally pretty and being similar if not the same, they're referring to the physique first and foremost and to a lesser degree the fact that the costumes do tend to be irrationally revealing for people going into battle. In other words, focusing on a fact (the visible builds and impractical clothing of these females) rather than opinion (like, 'I don't like catgirls therefore Kaz is ugly' or Nara having 'too many body marks for my taste' as you put it). This is especially compared to the males who have very different builds--take, for example, Brutus versus Eironn, or Hendrik versus Kelthur--and are more commonly portrayed with proper amounts of armour. Not always, to be fair, but quite a bit more than the females.

summer bane Sep 16, 2019, 2:30 AM

#

The target market for this game are Asian males. That said, the designs for females are so much better in comparison to other games of the same genre.

#

Every other female character in these sort of games are always feminine with ginormous boobs.

alpine barn Sep 16, 2019, 2:49 AM

Yeah, this game avoids a lot of the pitfalls that other games in the same demographic fall into

can't say how well they'll stick to their principles in the coming years, but for now it's been pretty respectable

I JUST started actually reading the hero stories because I was bored, and noticed that everyone wants to kill each other. Is there any in-game lore that explains WHY they're fighting together for us in some sort of simulation?

zenith pond Sep 16, 2019, 8:56 PM

#

All of the stories are their backgrounds. In the present time they're all forced to unite to fight off the Hypogean invasion

cyan sparrow Sep 16, 2019, 10:43 PM

#

now why they're fighting clones of themselves is still out for debate

#

Annih's manifestation of hypogean energy, perhaps?

zenith pond Sep 16, 2019, 10:58 PM

#

I always assumed it was the Hypogean demons mimicking them for their abilities and for The Sweet Emotional Turmoil of fighting yourself/your wife/a child/etc

golden kettle Sep 16, 2019, 11:23 PM

#

yeah, ditto to the demons taking hero form-- that's backed up by peaks of time where they frequently refer to the enemy camps as "demons"

#

unsure how to explain hypogeon heroes though

static cargo Sep 16, 2019, 11:27 PM

#

"Hypogean" heroes are actually Celestials who said 'oh, you wanna copy us? How does it feel?'
Also to add onto this, there have to be Hypogeans out there who are copying a hero and every time they attack said hero, they go 'stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself!'

static cargo Sep 16, 2019, 11:44 PM

#

Actually, a character whose only ability is 'copies the opponent' would be pretty sweet, especially since I'd imagine it would basically be 'the opponent but at the hero's ascension tier and level' which would mean that you could finally, finally have access to ascended tier Niru, the only valid Niru, by leveling up the hero to that point.

I just took a look at Thane's story and it mentions the Mauler using a hammer to basically crush his arm to uselessness

#

unless Brutus's sword is some convoluted "hammer"

#

also took a look at Brutus's story, he does fight a human but the fight is told as being a lot more evenly-matched than Thane getting rofl-stomped

#

yeah I don't think we have a Mauler hero who wields a hammer

Brutus story writes him fighting someone who is large for a human but graceful.

#

Thane isn’t large.

#

Brutus also ended up fighting evenly with the human counterpart

#

Thane’s story also mentioned that it’s a hammer that got his arm, pulverizing the bone.

#

For Baden’s side of a gigantic blade, i find it weird it’s not called a gigantic sword. Blade feels like it’s a part of the weapon than the full weapon.

quasi wedge Sep 17, 2019, 12:03 PM

no mention of hammer in thane's story in chinese, it was a heavy giant sword

ah, so that age discrepancy was introduced in the translation

quasi wedge Sep 17, 2019, 12:08 PM

#

isabella was nine when she discovered her powers is the only age i can find

#

this is so weird lol, english has silvina "kept alive only to be used as a tool, or rather, a weapon. Through extensive, cruel training"

#

chinese has none of that, just said she was taken in and trained as an assassin, and then she is cold-hearted, making it seem more like she was like that of her own choice more

#

gotta say, the english writing is better, lol

#

also, because of that, instead of saying she was trained cruelly, it just says her only soft spot is isabella, and then in the part where in english she hesitated because she was reminded of "what she might have been", she hesitated because the little girl reminded her of isabella

#

aaand also specifically mentions that isabella revived her instead of "the graveborn"

#

i'll stop now lol, just interesting how they're almost completely different stories in different languages

Curious what are Maulers and Wilders called in Chinese? @quasi wedge

quasi wedge Sep 17, 2019, 2:47 PM

#

Mauler = 蠻血族 literal translation would be "barbaric blood tribe" (or savage blood, that word can be used in several different meanings)

#

Wilder = 綠裔聯盟 literal translation is green heritage league / league of green heritages (it makes about as much sense in chinese too lul)

lethal niche Sep 17, 2019, 10:41 PM

So the tl;dr is that the translation (from CHN -> ENG from how it looks) isn't the best and muddies details when unnecessary to do so

#

It really does sound like Baden and Thane attempted to 2v1 Brutus and got clapped for it, but then that wouldn't explain Thane's arm specifically being crushed (versus, say, sliced/torn off)

#

it would explain Baden's chest getting basically caved in tho, lmao

gray gulch Sep 17, 2019, 11:19 PM

#

baden and thane losing a 2v1 against brutus sounds like something that would actually happen in game tbh

I got arcane imbuer mixed up with an item from a minecraft mod (alchemical imbuer, thermal expansion) and I was under the impression it was referring to a machine. On a related note I've now actually looked up the definition of imbuer. It is, in fact, not referring to a machine lmao

not to put pressure on him to be great at something but also his parents are both badass as fuck and i dont think they would lethim be without the skills to protect himself

in this instance protecting himself also involves attacking others and thats valid

Orthrath? Zolthros??

Orthros had long since removed himself from the world of mortals; few knew the stories of the Seer of Origins and fewer still could recall his name. He cared not, he had more important things to deal with than the trivial, transient lives of mortals—even the Graveborn would...

there are 4 L+ Tier LB and only 3 L+ Tier in Maulers, Wilders, and GB

But then why are those items so weak? Their like 5% damage

#

Wouldnt a gods relics be like 300x strength? Game logic set aside

cyan sparrow Sep 21, 2019, 3:05 AM

#

I'm guessing it works sorta like the Infinity Stones, they're weak rn because we can only use 5 at a time

#

maybe with all 7 we'd be all powerful

#

plus, one mortal could only possess one at a time or else they'd be overwhelmed with godly power... or something

mint verge Sep 21, 2019, 3:06 AM

#

Well no the infinity stones werent weak at all. He had the ability to alter reality. Amazing strength boost and travel in time

#

I get the 1 at a timr

#

But just the minuscule boost is sorta odd

cyan sparrow Sep 21, 2019, 3:07 AM

Yes, but he could only use them at full strength when all of them are together

killing half of the universe i'd say is pretty on par with sealing away a god with almost equal power to you, and his army

So as I said I've been writing down quests, and it appears that the requirements for quests aren't random, which means that I have questions
Undead Research as a Legendary solo quest requires a LB and two GB, but Undead Research as an Elite team quest requires an LB and a Mauler. uhm what

@static cargo OK SO

#

the reason mehira and ezizh fight for us is bc they need humans alive to survive

ezizh feeds off the fear nightmares create, mehira feeds off sexual energy

the reason you fight against clones of heroes is bc the vast majority of hypos can shapeshift, and they change into friendly faces to make the fighting more difficult

Meanwhile I'm over here making Vurk an absolute idiot
"While that hadn’t been his first time meeting Brutus, that had been Vurk’s first real conversation with the Mauler chieftain and to say that it didn’t bother Vurk that Brutus’s impression of him was likely that of a clumsy nestling would have been a lie. So he told himself that he would definitely demonstrate his full potential against the Hypogeans (not to be confused with showing off because that would imply he was putting extra effort into looking good. Which, while he might have been putting extra effort into looking good, was totally different from what he was doing. Which was doing his best, not showing off)."

As Zolrath wandered throughout the timelines, he always kept coming back to a merchant. He was a middle aged man, carrying around an equally old animal. He was not a wilder, however, he was simply a mortal. He had an odd sensation with the man, not wanting to cause him harm throughout the timeline. He would weigh his options and always destroy any threats to the man, whether past or future. He never told the merchant of his intentions, or of his presence at all, but somehow the merchant, who had left at a young age to make his fortune, knew he was there. Every night he would thank the gods for giving him such a guardian angel, not knowing that his true protector was who he was trying to fight all this time...

COLLAB TAKE TWO Y'ALL WELCOME
Thane found himself working with the Wilders more and more as the battles with the Hypogeans progressed. Estrilda herself disliked the forest, but Thane had always found peace within the depths of the greenery. Even in the Rayne household, the gardens had always found a way to attract him.
When he was younger, before the war started, the forest was a quiet place, seemingly devoid of life save the songbirds and the occasional deer. But now that the factions were allying (or, in some cases...attempting to ally), it was more common that the Wilders would appear to him. Usually it was Nemora, offering him one or another of nature’s offerings; one day, a honeycomb, the next, a small jar of blessed water. She was sweet, Thane could admit, welcoming and kind. But despite that, he found himself looking forward to when Arden could spare the time to talk. They had already become close, in part due to Eironn. It was interesting to hear how the young swordsman had developed, and was their first real reason for talking.
But now? Thane would converse about anything to hear the elder talk, just to listen to his voice or to have his attention. It was a strange feeling, not quite platonic, not quite a crush. But even the gifts Nemora offered him couldn’t compare to the sweetness in his chest when Arden would speak to him by the forest’s edge.

Colab 3, ze finalé (perhaps)

#

Tasi would frequent the Kings Manse often, either on missions or just for fun. She’d encounter many odd and often frightening creatures, including graveborn bears and other woodland creatures. She, however, had never encountered a creature like Silvina before.
“Who goes there? Why have you intruded upon my home?” Silvina asked the winged invader, not knowing whether to kill on sight or let them leave with a warning.
“My name is Tasi; i am a mere explorer, trying to map the hypogean scourge.” Tasi replied, not revealing her true identity as the Dreamhopper; at least, not yet.
Before they could finish their conversation, however, they were attacked by a shadowy, mist-looking figure from behind.
“Dreamhopper! You are finally mine!” Ezizh said, trapping Tasi in hypogean chains. Before Ezizh could escape with his victim, however, Silvina rushed Ezizh from behind, breaking his hold on Tasi and forcing him to retreat with a single blow.
“Thank you, phew, Silvina. As you now know, i'm no mere explorer, I'm…” Tasi attempted to thank her savior, but Silvina put her hand over Tasi’s mouth.
“Shh. Just be glad you’re alive. Now leave, while I clean up the mess you’ve apparently made for us.” Silvina said, turning to leave, but not before “dropping” a piece of paper with her address on the floor.
“Hmm… I may have to thank her later. I should report back to Ulmus with my findings, however. And I must congratulate Arden on becoming a knight of House Rayne!” Tasi said, gleefully wandering back to Yggdrasil.

Vurk is a creatures of stealth and cunning. He can get what is needed without being seen. Which is the best hope for a mauler spy on the graveborn, and lightbear factions

Her tail tho

I mean technically we don't know if maulers can become gb yet or not

if so, then the tail isn't a problem

They can because if Lilith says otherwise Imma ignore it

if it is, just wrap the tail around her waist and call it a fur sash

static cargo Sep 24, 2019, 5:19 AM

Actually
Would GB mauler be white or grey

#

Because the gb have white hair and grey skin typically

#

🤔

#

Like Golgotha is grey but maybe they just all become polar bears

only typically tho, Niru's hair is blue

The new update will heavily feature a Celestial character known as Asniel - the Heavenly Crafter, where he creates heavenly items. His lore is so heavy in the coming update that his name is included in the event "The Celestial Isles" and Orthros' lore.

I'm expeting that the 7 divine artifacts of Dura to be just the same, but the new artifacts will come from him. Heads up.

quasi leaf Sep 24, 2019, 12:11 PM

well that's what i think they are doing. They did say in the developer feedback that yhey are adding new artifacts, all the while in the lore it states that there are only 7 artifacts given by Dura.

#

it's even in the second story trailer

muted chasm Sep 24, 2019, 12:59 PM

Before there were 5 artifacts, so they changed the story for the update

hmmmm i can't seem to find it. all i found stated seven.

The one on facebook didn't state any artifact, while the second intro stated seven. The intro story in-game stated seven as well... Maybe they deleted the old one? just to make a new canon?

alpine barn Sep 24, 2019, 2:53 PM

the version on the artist's artstation also stated seven

I think it was always seven, but two of them weren't statted up until later

I have some OCs as well. Here's one called Aspien - the Deathslayer.

Aspien was a mere orphan teen when Dura had taken him into the Celestial Order. His passion and faith, and maybe his potential, are the only reasons why She took him in Her home.

As an orphan throughout his life, Aspien had taken this opportunity with a grateful nature, treating the Goddess as his mother and guardian, his fellow Celestials his siblings. He couldn't be any more content.

When the Hypogean Army destroyed his family, causing the death of what he could consider a mother, he was outraged. Aspien had lost heart, and his passion had shifted; the drive for living became a drive for killing.

He had lived in the streets before, and he knows how to get his hands dirty.

Now, as a being without a sense of remorse, he roames aimlessly through the harsh lands of Esperia, searching for the beings who killed his Goddess, all the while protecting the family he has left.

Fenris - Mountainguard Lore:

In Yggdrasil, the Dusk Patrollers guard the glades in the east, and the almighty Seirus guards the Azure Cove with Gorvo as vanguard on the shores. These are little tasks compared to the task given to a certain Wilder to guard the Bastion mountainside.

Fenris now one-handedly guards the Yggdrasilian border that touches the Bastion of the Elements. Many Wilderfolk, due to fear, didn't want the task. He is different. He is looking for a challenge.

He had been bold once, going beyond the border and into the elements beyond. The harsh weather is unforgiving and destructive, and he had reached rock bottom.

He woke up in disarray, with one horn now detached to his head, and a hand the glows a deep blue. Limping, he took the horn with him, and he struggled his way home.

The Wilders said that his hand held a strange energy, being uncontrollable when in an abundant state. His horn cannot be reattached.

With a new weapon, and fully recovered, Fenris went back to his post, being more confident to go back in.

But he's more careful now.

“You’ve got to stop doing this.”
Kaz’s head turned at the sound of Lyca’s ever-bright voice. Somehow, even when she was being berated, Lyca’s voice was still inspirational.
“Doing what?”
“Leaving! It’s dangerous.”
“I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m very capable of handling myself.” The dark-skinned Wilder huffed, flipping a dagger in her hand to avoid eye-contact.
“We know,” Ira chimed in. “You can handle yourself. Lyca can’t. She’s a nervous wreck when you’re gone.”
“I’m not!” The already pink-tinted cheeks grew a brighter red, her voice grew higher with indignance, and Kaz snickered.
Ira took it upon herself to clean the daggers, drawing one from Kaz’s hand and holding a cloth to it. A kiss planted on her cheek was thanks enough, and the flick of a white tail was the acknowledgement Kaz needed. Ira wasn’t one for pleasantries, but Kaz had learned how to read her body language.
“Can’t sleep without a fierce assassin to protect you, Bunny?”
At this point, the normally verbose, inspirational leader was stammering, her face in flames from embarrassment. “I am perfectly capable of-- I’m just as-- Kaz!” Kaz doubled over in laughter as Lyca threw her hands in the air, storming into the other room. It was only when Lyca called out a stern “I made dinner, by the way, not that you gremlins deserve it” that the two other Wilders followed.
