[sturdy nova]

trust me hero ideas can come hugely from fans, even i have some "mechanics" if you will

MIND BLOWN!

[bleak breach]

Wow that Rowan is one cut throat merchant

[trail kite]

One question about the bow that ranger heroes are using...
Except Vurk and Fawkes, they're crossbow user
Gwyneth is Long bow user

[barren haven]

Ranger class is weird. You're telling me PoP - King of Blades is a ranger, Lucretia who has a flame sword is a ranger, eironn who has not one but 2 swords is ALSO a ranger

But walker's a warrior class despite being called the lone ranger-

Lilith what's going on

[civic geyser]

Also reminded me of Zikis

This dude is the least agile person ever, and uses magic to shoot projectiles. And apparently this guy is a ranger too

[barren haven]

Kaz is somehow a ranger as well despite clearly being melee & a dodge tank

[lilac ether]

the distinction is very very loose most the time

a general rule of thump is thw ability to go near far enemies / target them makes the hero a ranger

gwyn targets backrow while luc and pop jump towards it

its a very hazy general outline but its smth

[civic geyser]

Nakoruru too, she flies towards her enemies and jumps them

Joker, Ill allow. I mean, the dude has a gun

Then there's Tidus.

[trail kite]

Some character when interact with other characters in inn

[agile tartan]

izold: can i get some upgrades on my weapons to become stronger?

silas: sure lemme take ur brain and put it in a jar to fill u with more acid thingy.

[trail kite]

Oden and Silas is more hilarious

Magic Vs Science

Oden: Magic is cool
Silas: if you're the man name Oden and you like magic, you should k1ll yourself

[agile tartan]

Magic ✊

im gonna trap u in chains

keep throwing into portals

[trail kite]

Oden: Science is lame, magic is cool
Silas:👎

[agile tartan]

there enemies

good fight

[trail kite]

Luv their dynamic

[wanton tangle]

Ainz has a thing for widows, I guess.

[lucid field]

always has, always will

[crystal tapir]

The Grand Chieftan wants to make amends with the exile, but he's having none of it.

[trail kite]

Kren just being Kren

Damn it autocorrect, you just call Kren as Karen

Morrow standing

[wise linden]

He’s hot

[trail kite]

Yes he is

[heavy bramble]

Ainz doesn't know who Albedo is

[trail kite]

Damn it Ainz

Also Albedo is like...🤤

[lament meadow]

thot

[silk widget]

Wonder how desira will react to seeing hodgkin

[trail kite]

Also Hodgkin and Nara

Strange when Hodgkin with Nara or Desira are like 👎
But when with Silas: 👍

Pretty strange

Wait ...he is like that to Silas because Silas made his soul cannon as a gift

[lucid field]

probably went in there to fix them up

also hodgkin doesn’t like anyone probably, but esp if they smell like broke

[spice mulch]

Since Desira got turned into a graveborn by Quaedam himself, she's probably the siren that sank Hodgkin's ship

She's also old af

[lucid field]

desira?

[spice mulch]

Yes

[civic geyser]

Krem cant handle his smooth jazz

[civic geyser]

Hodgkin ain't into zombie chicks, but he's all for the treasure

Man's got his priorities

[uneven echo]

Nah its more like he's still very confused and uncomfortable by how much of a simp albedo is.

[agile tartan]

man ain't no simp

my man-

i mean no

trash hero

[lilac ether]

this real

?

i never paied much attention to the inn interactions but i thought there was only a handful of preset "emotes"

i sure never saw the injection silas one

[lucid field]

no lol he knows who albedo is

he programmed her to be madly in love with him because he thought it was inconsequential but when he got stuck in the game, he realized the mistake he made

ainz respects albedo has the head floor guardian of nazarick, and loves all of his guardians like family

[lilac ether]

meant the ingame emote in the inn

[lilac ether]

this msg is attached to a picture @lucid field

[civic geyser]

It's up for interpretation, maybe he's oblivious to her advances in the inn

[vale grove]

Finally drew Yusi! She's a graveborn, support and healer
When she was alive she was dedicated to selling medicine with potions and plants.
And knew Niru and Shemira amd helped them with Daimon's health

[nova skiff]

That’s pretty cool

[crystal tapir]

I imagine someone like her would be seen as a really valuable asset for Graveborn with how they need help with not decomposing.
Nice design, too.

[dry onyx]

I feel like this would be the best place to ask- some heroes change appearance as they get stronger, and I was wondering if anyone knew of where there was like, a set of comparison images anywhere?

[sturdy nova]

welll idk about images but you can always compare a hero e copy to the one in portraits page for difference, like numisu, warek, mireal, etc.

[civic geyser]

Bro that's so cool!

[sturdy nova]

We're coming in terms with more and more lightbearer sub groups

[civic geyser]

I noticed we're going more in depth about Kuilin city in general

Idre, Leofric, etc.

[vale grove]

Ty!

[vale grove]

Oh yeah! I thought something with that too
Ty!

[vale grove]

Thank you!

[sturdy nova]

I speculate new hero will be from kullin as well

[civic geyser]

I see

[dark heath]

Hello can. I ask who is the creator of mezoth?

[silk widget]

Mezoth is the god/demon who has demonized the sailor. As for who created Mezoth, there is no answer.

[lament meadow]

i would imagine that annih created mezoth, seeing as he created the other hypogeans

[thick thorn]

Hypogeans pobably also have ranks within them, I'm thinking something how demons in the Lesser Key of Solomon also have ranks

[lament meadow]

headcanon accepted

[crystal tapir]

I mean, it makes sense. There are those Common-tier footsoldiers, after all.

[lament meadow]

wouldnt be surprised if the tome morrow wielded was the esperian equivalent of the ars goetia, seeing as it has encyclopedic knowledge of at least one demon

[silk widget]

Finally i can now confirm that savannah city is ranhorn city, for any of confusing souls out there

F**k the discrepancy in proper noun translation

As for Lester, I take back my confirmation that prince of Lester and the lord in leofric's lore are not the same person. There is still chance that they are the same.

[bleak hull]

How can you confirm savannah is ranhorn?

[crystal tapir]

"Savannah" is just a confusing name, because that's used for so many places on Earth.

Hell, I live near the Savannah River Nuclear Site. (Those Lightbearers don't mess around.)

[bleak hull]

Savannah is an imperial LB city

[silk widget]

Pretty easy and I didnt even believe I missed that for so long. Chapter 1 cn lore on world map proved that they are the same place. Eng lore is just being inconsistent on using just either name

[crystal tapir]

If Savannah and Ranhorn are supposed to be the same, I'm just going to have to headcanon their being different places. (Like with durri clearly not being rats despite originally being called "ratmen".)

[silk widget]

See the highlighted text? Same characters for both in leofric's lore and in chapter 1 lore

[crystal tapir]

If I were to hazard a guess, the localization team was switched out at some point, and the newer team wasn't aware.

[bleak hull]

Alot of cn characters mean more than one thing don't they

[crystal tapir]

Yeah, but I don't think this is one of those cases, unfortunately.

[bleak hull]

Then why is there two different translations to it

[crystal tapir]

If I were to hazard a guess, the localization team was switched out at some point, and the newer team wasn't aware.

[silk widget]

Proper names has never been translated consitently into english. Remember the speculation that i made about desira may be the one who killed hodgkin a few weeks ago? the "undead" ship in desira's lore is the hodgkin's "immortal" ship

[crystal tapir]

Also, the meaning of the word "Savannah" brings to mind an African biome, not the Medieval European one Ranhorn is in. Ranhorn is just a better name.

[bleak hull]

Has ranhorn ever been described as an imperial city before? With it actually being referred as ranhorn

[silk widget]

I agree. The translator should've just used "ranhorn" instead of going back and forth between the two

[crystal tapir]

It literally has the castle in it. If that ain't imperial I don't know what is.

[bleak hull]

A castle in a city makes it imperial?

[silk widget]

Yes. Both Ranhorn and savannah are described as imperial city in dolly's corner issues

[crystal tapir]

"Imperial" means "relating to an empire".
I'd say the seat of power in the empire relates to that empire.

[bleak hull]

What does that have to do with the castle?

[crystal tapir]

...because it's the place the king lives?

[bleak hull]

There's nothing about other Lightbearer cities not having a castle

[crystal tapir]

It's the capital city.

[crystal tapir]

The capital city is where the government is. That's what makes it "capital".

[silk widget]

it's pretty obvious if we look at chapter 1 lore in eng and cn. Ranhorn and savannah are the same place, no beating around it

[crystal tapir]

Yeah... I accept it, but I don't like it.

[silk widget]

And F**k this. Ishould have look at the chapter 1 lore in cn sooner. Had Been so confused about this for so long

[silk widget]

You know japanese right? Does this discrepancy also appear in jp lore?

[crystal tapir]

I'm just studying, so I'm not fluent. But I can check.

It appears the Japanese version maded an oopsie. It refers to the city as a savannah, with its name just being "the Light Capital".

I can't check the "community" section for the Dolly's Corner posts, though, because "community" is disabled in the JP version. It doesn't appear in the menu, and the link in the Noble Tavern takes you to the official JP AFK Twitter instead.

"This savannah was the first target when The Castastrophe was released from the Abyss."

That "Kono" ("this") wouldn't be there if it was referring to it as the city name.

[spice mulch]

Catastrophe = hypogeans btw

At least that's how they are called in the Japanese version

They are called just "demons" in chinese tho

[lament meadow]

had a big brain moment

what if hypogeans are called catastrophs in the same way we call plants autotrophs for making their own food and animals heterotrophs for consuming other things for food, except what hypogeans feed on is chaos

(a play on the common suffix -trophos, meaning feeder)

yes i know this pun only works in english and wasnt intended by the jp translator leave me alone

[sturdy nova]

Catastrophe then feed on cats

[lament meadow]

QGSHSGEGS NOOOOOOOOOO

[sturdy nova]

What if dura comes back as a gb? How would that go? Can mortals who are ascended as celestials die and resurrect as gbs?

[spice mulch]

nice

[trail kite]

Any one how tall Respen is?

[silk widget]

Not sure if celestial can be resurrected as gb. But if they can, I think Dura will become a Tainted gb cuz she will never make pact with lord quaedam, and no one will be strong enough to ressurect her and control her will. Baden is just a mere mortal and he is still able to break free from the necromancer, so it should be a piece of cake for Dura to do so

[sturdy nova]

So dura supremacy all over again?

[civic geyser]

Lady Life waifu supremacy

[crystal tapir]

Speaking of The Tainted, I really have to wonder what functional differences they have from "pure" GB. I wonder if it will ever be explored more in the future.
I'd been assuming they retain more of their memories and personality but still have the same physical issues.

[silk widget]

I guess their bodies are still decaying like a normal gb. And I also wonder what would happen to Oden's body. He is described as not a pure gb and he is currently stuck in the dungeon beneath the academy of night (probably another name for school of the dead)

[silk widget]

Hey. Does anyone remember where is the part that mentioned the rumor "multiple people walked into temple of ascension and only one walked out alive and appeared stronger"

[lament meadow]

YEAH

[silk widget]

I'm trying to clarify the mistranlation of the terms temple of light, temple of ascension, and the Sanctuary. There seems to be some mistranlation of these terms in eluard's lore which has led to wrong assumption

[sturdy nova]

It was markiplier, he's def. Unaware of what goes on in esperia

[silk widget]

Darn. If it is from markiplier, then I will not be able to retrieve its cn text.

Good thing is eluard's lore is still enough to clarify these mistranlations

[bleak hull]

I think the temple of ascension is only one of the temples of light, since in Rosalines lore it said that the order of light have multiple sanctuaries

[silk widget]

Actually temple of ascension has never been mentioned anywhere except for from that building where we can ascend the heroes. In Eluard's lore, temple of ascension is briefly mentioned but it simply is just an error in proper noun translation

I'll post and explain these terms later so that we will have a reference and not get confused or misled by these mistranslations

[bleak hull]

Or maybe it is just that, the building where we ascend heroes, not every detail in the game has to have complicated lore over it

[silk widget]

That would solve everything. I've also been very confused about how the temple of light looks like. Is it actually one big church or there are multiple different ones.

[bleak hull]

There are multiple ones, it's said in rosalines lore that she and her brother were taken to seperate sanctuaries

[silk widget]

A monastery is different than church, is it? Sorry for the ignorance. I've never been to or known about church

[bleak hull]

A monastery is a church especially for monks

So it's just a special type of church

[silk widget]

So it is just a smaller place compared to the church/temple of light.

[bleak hull]

The order of light are based on Christians right? If that's the case then there's a church in every city, town and village

[bleak hull]

It's another church but it's still apart of the order of light

[sturdy nova]

Basically monastry is kinda live in kind of religious place, monks live in monastries, they heal and meditate and pray and eat in the same place
The church isn't a live in if I'm not mistaken, sorry if i am

[bleak hull]

A church is public and a monastery and nunnery are live in

[wet bobcat]

[crystal tapir]

That's right. He didn't have CN text, I remember clearly.

[silk widget]

What? So that piece of lore is in eng only?

[crystal tapir]

Yep. Mark was like Ainz in that he always spoke in the same language regardless of game setting.

[slim ore]

Hang on, is markiplier considered to be Canon?

[crystal tapir]

Dimensionals as a whole are kind of screwy whether they should be considered canon or not.

[slim ore]

I thought they weren't Canon

If they were that's like, a whole new situation for me in terms of learning lore...

[crystal tapir]

I consider them what TVTropes called "Loose Canon".
That is to say, the story and setting are unchanged without their being there, but they have a canonical explanation for existing that doesn't contradict anything else.

[slim ore]

Ah, I see.

Cause like, several of the dimensionals have reality warping powers that would impact things very heavily, so at most I thought only Arthurian dimensional were canon

[silk widget]

Dimensionals are canon but all the heroes don't have much impact on the afk universe

[slim ore]

Thats... weird... so they kinda just chill not doing much?

[crystal tapir]

• Ainz's only priority is finding his human friends. Albedo's only priority is Ainz.
• The Hero Formerly Known As Prince is only searching for Zolrath rather than participating in the war.
• Joker is just... there. He probably just got lost on his way back from Super Smash Bros...

• Nakoruru, Ukyo, and Ezio don't have any supernatural powers that could radically change things, even if they are actively participating in the war (like Nakoruru is).

[slim ore]

True, that prince/zolrath storyline would actually be pretty cool though

Ainz is being Ainz, albedo is being albedo, that all makes sense

Joker...

I honestly think it might be cool if they did something with the dimensional storylines, zolrath vs prince would be fascinating

[crystal tapir]

I kinda want Joker to team up with Vurk, what with his being a fellow thief.

[slim ore]

I'm not very well versed in persona, so I wouldn't know

[undone umbra]

What about Merlin?

[slim ore]

Prince of Persia, sands of time was one of my favorite games as a child though, seeing him in this game made me fangirl so hard

[crystal tapir]

Arthur and Merlin are public domain characters, not crossover characters. These incarnations of them were created to be part of canon.

[slim ore]

That makes sense

Merlin probably would be helping find a way to seal the hypogeans away.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if he got the eternal engravings for the dimensionals

[uneven echo]

Just waiting for the day we get a hypogean dimensional. A sort of counter to wukong (who is technically a dimensional)

[undone umbra]

That would be sick

And interesting never made the connection Merlin would be the one to do the engraving for the dims

[silk widget]

Look at how the peak of time's lore was translated. The translator just fucking erased the whole part about the dark star realm lmao

[simple vine]

i'm not surprised anymore

they should retcon all the eng lore to match with other versions

[silk widget]

It just looks like the old translator just didn't like to translate anything related to dark star realm

[sturdy nova]

Dark star realm = void realm right?

[silk widget]

I was the only one who was able to spot these botched translation since i ve always been interested in reading both the eng and the cn lorrs

[sturdy nova]

We all have our own principles XD

[silk widget]

Anyone telling me eng lore is canon will receive a punch in their face, not even lilith's staff lmao

[simple vine]

i think lilith staff said that

[silk widget]

From what I understand, it's understandable if the lore in cn and eng is different. This could be due to the eng lore is old version while the cn lore is up to date with an revised version

For example, lucius's lore in cn have 2 versions. The one on the web is identical to the eng lore, and the one in game is totally different.

And another case is numisu vurk saveas's union story. There are also 2 versions in cn. But this time, the one in game is identical to the eng version while the one on the web is different. So in this case, numisu vurk saveas's union story in eng is using the revised version

This explains how we have lores that are totally different in cn and eng

[simple vine]

oh yes there was a retcon for their union lore

it was announced, not sure about the lucius one

[coral zodiac]

👀.

[silk widget]

That i think is forgivable, but mistranlating and removing original contents is absolutely not acceptable

[simple vine]

them lazy

[silk widget]

I don't fucking know a single cn word, and have to rely on autotranslator tool but i have absolutely no problem reading the cn lore

[coral zodiac]

one thing is having errors in translations, which is kinda understable (for example, sometimes verb tenses translated to spanish are kinda hard to understand) but another thing is erasing stuff :/

[silk widget]

Not sure what made the translators butchered the eng lore

[silk widget]

proper nouns are also big problems here. Name of place of people keep being translated differently in different places

[coral zodiac]

yeah

[silk widget]

I'll be free tomorrow and will try to clarify the mistranlated terms temple of light and temple of ascension

Anyone joined this channel in 2019 missed out a shit tons of lore contents and discussion due to the bad translation. I feel pity for them

[silk widget]

I missed your question. Dark star realm is dark void realm. It has been mentioned in safiya and oden's lore, but you will most likely miss it if you don't read the cn versions

[sturdy nova]

Yea we've discussed it here quite a lot, also in morael's lore we have void realm

[silk widget]

Yeah. Morael's lore is the key here. I hadn't been able to comprehend what dark star realm is before her lore was out.

[civic geyser]

Just pair Charizard with the three fire waifus Thali, Talene, and Satrana then Ezizh. Solid comp right there

Venusaur can be a good Ainz support due to Sunny Day and his SI, but his furniture makes good use of heroes that spam skills a lot like most celerity

Blastoise is more diverse since he just tanks, but the mass Drenching can be hell if added with Hodgkin and/or Desira. The enemies will just never kill your team.

[barren haven]

Question: is the narrator reading the story in peggy lore angelo

[sturdy nova]

Talene not a fire waifu technically, not even thali since none of her skills burns iirc, gwyn can be used with satrana Nd charmizard

[sturdy nova]

Hope you had a tasty one

[sturdy nova]

Drenched right?

[sturdy nova]

Future angelo to his daughter, ye

[barren haven]

Nice

[civic geyser]

Ye Drenched

[bleak hull]

Are there any other teasers about the next hero

[silk widget]

I think this is the only one. No artist has been mentioned in all the lores. And there are some old men mentioned here and there such as the old man in raku's lore, the old monk archbishop Palmer, and the old adventurer Gretel Hawke.

Most likely a new heroes with no connection to any other heroes

[bleak hull]

It better be a wilder

[sturdy nova]

Had it not mentioned 'draw' kegs, i would've thought of anisel coming as a playable hero

[bleak hull]

Is that fanmade or official?

[sturdy nova]

Fanmade hehe

That is why i didn't crop out the username of the artist

[silk widget]

The person who made that character can see the future

[lament meadow]

lilith owes him royalty

[spice mulch]

Reunion

[silk widget]

Why did they call Wrizz a green in vow? Wrizz is a mauler

[lament meadow]

a green???

[trail kite]

He is a green goblin

[silk widget]

Wilder is called green in cn

[trail kite]

Wilder is... Verdant green, different than Wrizz

[silk widget]

Verdant green?

[trail kite]

Verdant mean.....Idk how to explain

It's like green but green of leave and grass

[silk widget]

The wilder is referred to as green people though.

[trail kite]

Yes...

[silk widget]

I want a new wilder hero too. Been waiting for that wilder named Larin to be released for errernity

[lament meadow]

larin?

[silk widget]

He was mentioned by Kaz in the PoT Rest in Peace. The one that has the gravestones of the 3 ancient wilders

[crystal tapir]

I mean... Wrizz is literally green, so...

Does Chinese have indefinite articles?

[silk widget]

His faction is mauler. That's why i thought he is a mauler

[crystal tapir]

In any case, if the CN lore this time is trying to say he's a Wilder, it's probably a Google Translate error this time.

[silk widget]

the cn text also mentions him as a green dwarf

Or this could just mean this guy is not wrizz

Or i am just overthinking. He just has green skin. That's why they call him green

I didn't even know his skin is green till now lol.

The lores make much more sense when we know savannah is ranhorn city.

All of us were in fucking limbo by just one shitty inconsistent translation lol

We should keep on complaining and maybe one day lilith will fix all of these discrepancy

[barren haven]

We can only hope

I doubt lilith will do anything tho, sadly

[trail kite]

Cake and Mauler engraving

Mauler engraving is like...a huge desert rock shrine....

😍

Also Raine and Mirael info

And this moment

[coral zodiac]

I bet it's a dimensional and that it's Da Vinci

[vale grove]

I told you that >:(

[trail kite]

The silhouette kinda reminds to Da Vinci

[coral zodiac]

Hmmm

[trail kite]

Seem familiar, Dolly

Also the thing the new heroes holding is look like this

[coral zodiac]

Ig I will start on saving stuff and doing lab just in case 😂

[trail kite]

The flying machine, draw by Leonardo Da Vinci

[vapid musk]

I have a question
How Mirael can be from Bantus Empire? As I remember, this empire fall many years ago? Is this retcon or what?

[trail kite]

Maybe some small part of bantus

[shell jay]

Leonardo da Vinci was my first thought too, and it was this version 😂

[vapid musk]

But in the origins of Graveborn (fall of Bantus) we see that and...???? How?

[coral zodiac]

Yeah, I have the same confusion

[trail kite]

...damn... that's very confused

[coral zodiac]

Maybe they meant that Mirael's family were descendants of the Bantus Empire

Idk if I'm explaining myself

[vapid musk]

Well, that actually can make sense
Or lilith just destroy timeline lol

[coral zodiac]

Yeah lol

[sturdy nova]

The thing at bottom

[vapid musk]

Ok nevermind, they just make translation error from cn... Again
Mirael born in empire but in cn version it is just an empire

So possibly just Empire of LB

[lament meadow]

BABY FAWKES BABY FAWKES BABY FAWKES

this is so fake

he does not have red eyes

[barren haven]

Does stargaze lady have a canonical name?

Or is she just "stargaze lady"

[pulsar birch]

Scammer lady

[agile tartan]

Scamgazer chick mostly

[dark heath]

@sturdy nova

[sturdy nova]

I doubt it's a collab hero tbh, since dolly never gossips about crossovers, but i accept all possibilities! Hopefully it's an non ip dim placed in lab store

[agile tartan]

It's Da Vinci

[uneven echo]

You know the fact that afk gave us a code with lab, guild, barracks, and challenger coins makes it really likely that it is a dimensional hero that's probably da Vinci.

[silk widget]

Ezio's si was made by da vinci

And also mirael was from bantus empire is a mistranlation

[gritty iris]

I like how u just blew ur own mind ..but is pretty interesting

How about this one " strange creation"

[bleak hull]

Pretty much all the signatures are strange

[crystal tapir]

If it is Da Vinci, I'm a little weirded out.
Because, you know... he was a real person.

[agile tartan]

ye indeed

but its fine tho

he is still in a show or u know

we can make him into a hero since he is in a show or stuff

[coral zodiac]

Oh yeah, Da Vinci appeared in the AC games where Ezio was the protagonist

That's why he is mentioned in Ezio's SI

[lament meadow]

bruh for all u kno he went to the afk world and they just never mentioned it in the history books

[silk widget]

That's interesting. In which AC did he appear?

[coral zodiac]

In Assassin's Creed II and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, afaik

He interacts quite a lot with Ezio iirc

[crystal tapir]

So even if it isn't the same incarnation, he might have a unique Oak Inn interaction with Ezio.

[desert falcon]

He also appears in Revelations (aka, all three of Ezios games). He was the one who redesigned the Hidden Blade for Ezio so he didn't have to cut off a finger (which he tells him by tricking him into thinking he still has to do it, and slams the axe down next to Ezio's hand before going "Just kidding, I was able to redesign it so you you can keep the finger!"). He has a bunch of missions where you use his weird inventions that we only had models/drawings of, like a full scale version of the flying machine he presumably is holding in his AFK Arena art. That being said, I personally don't think this version is an AC tie in, partially because I want it to always be available, but also that it would be weird to add another AC unit out of the blue.

[silk widget]

Very interesting. I only played the very first AC a long time ago and couldn't even remember the main character in that one. Is ezio also in the first installment? All I can remember is that leap of faith jump lol

[crystal tapir]

The first one was Altair, I think. (I've never played any of them, though.)

[desert falcon]

1st was Altair, the next 3 were the Ezio Trilogy.

[timber tide]

I have a question; Does Kaz have a last name?

[sturdy nova]

Just in case it is him, but i want him to be non ip

[uneven echo]

I wonder, will he be unlimited like merlin and Arthur? It's true that he's iconic in assassins creed, but he's also a historical figure as well.

[sturdy nova]

^ that's my hypothesis

[crystal tapir]

I don't think any of the Wilders do, if I'm not mistaken. That's more a human thing.

[timber tide]

Alrighty, thanks

[silk widget]

I think he will be like arthur and merlin. Why waste money on licensing fee when he is actually free.

[paper spoke]

awww

daimon is so cute

[strange skiff]

"Mum"

Daimon's friend is British

[quasi wedge]

daimon can feel glee?

i thought he was just stuck in eternal pain and suffering

[vapid musk]

It's Leonardo da Vinci
And he is non limited like Arthur and Merlin

[sturdy nova]

But from challenger store

[trail kite]

He is historical figures so..non limited

And a third non crossover dim

[sturdy nova]

With da vinci coming to esperia, it opens up a whole lot of possibilities, Real world humans in esperia, who next michael jackson?

[desert falcon]

I would assume outside of rare cameos for shops like the one time Markiplier replaced Dolly at the Noble Tavern, Lilith will mainly stick to either historical/long dead figures or historical fiction like more of King Arthur’s court or Gilgamesh

[bleak hull]

YALL HEAR ABOUT DA VINCI

[barren haven]

Da vinki

His lore is ok

[sturdy nova]

No new dolly gossip

:(

[lucid field]

finally, some official queer representation in the game instead of just pretending like baden and thane were “good friends”

[barren haven]

Good. We need an update that doesnt have a new hero

[lucid field]

maybe i’m just weird but it made my little gay heart flutter knowing one of the most impactful gay influencers in history made it to the game

[barren haven]

Please

No more heroes

[lucid field]

i like dolly’s discussions tbh. i like learning about the characters, keeping up to date, and being a mixologist and baker seeing the recipes are cool

[barren haven]

I like the recent recipes & drinks. They look so cool

Especially the drinks

[trail kite]

Yes

[lucid field]

i wish i could make pretty drinks like that. the most i can do is a tequila sunrise 😔

[trail kite]

I wish Lilith could just... bravely tell that Baden and Thane are gay

[lucid field]

remember guys they’re “just good friends” 😐

[trail kite]

Damn it, censorship

[lucid field]

i didnt think china or east asia in general had a problem with homosexuality, but i also grew up in a part of my country where thats more acceptable

definitely counting my blessings on that one

[timber tide]

Lucky

I wish my household viewed it the same way

[lucid field]

seriously. i do consider it a great privilege. even tho my dad is catholic and isn’t very accepting of it, at least he’s tolerant.

[timber tide]

Being the "gay girl" of the house in a Cristian family didn't do me any favors

[lucid field]

meanwhile in the bible belt, that could get you seriously injured or even killed

even in inner cities, you can’t be out like that

[timber tide]

But I don't live there anymore, so... not like I care what they think XD

[lucid field]

hell yeah, you live your life. you didn’t choose to be born, nor did you choose to be lgbt. there’s no point in shame for something you can’t change.

[timber tide]

also, should maybe move this to off topic XD

[lucid field]

oh yeah yeah totally

[lament meadow]

not sure if i like the implication that esperia is da vincis afterlife

like in a way its heaven for him in how he can realize his dreams but at the same time hes not gonna be happy when he sees the fucking demons crawling out of the woodwork

[rapid crag]

lol

[crystal tapir]

I have a feeling that Annih is trying to test the limits of his powers by interfering with death outside of his former jurisdiction.

[crystal tapir]

The Chinese government has a HUGE problem with homosexuality. They'll still jail you for it, or worse.

[lament meadow]

interesting take!

lmao annih really looked at this ailing mans soul and said "yoink"

in a way though it almost feels like kindness...giving this man a second chance to realize his dreams

[sturdy nova]

Dim

[distant idol]

tbh i view esperia as an afterlife in a way

i thinj thats mostly from like the dimensional kore thi

exp ukyo

i dint have much evidence its just a headcanon

[dark heath]

I wonder what his abilities are gonna be

[lament meadow]

theres a list of his abilities on the afk twitter acct i believe!

[dark heath]

So what their Twitter is telling me is

Leonardo DaVinci

Is an Inkling

I love how every character has some kind of magical ability and DaVinci’s over here like “Have some paint in your eye, bitch.”

[trail kite]

[shy wharf]

So in Mortas story it says "...Not even a Hypogean can kill a Graveborn" - really?

[gilded pumice]

if you go by technicalities, if they're already dead, they can't be deader i guess 🤔
but there's cases of graveborns being not dead, plus there's the option to consume/destroy still, so feels like flair if anything

[bleak hull]

Spiritually they can't die a second time, but they can be separated from their corpses

It's explained in the origins of graveborn lore that the reason their army is so effective is because if a graveborn soldier's body is killed they can be given a new one

[uneven echo]

Why the world isn't already fully graveborn is beyond me...

Well fully graveborn and wilder since Wilders also seem to be the most stable faction out of all of them.

All the other three are either in constant conflict with each other or themselves.

And im still waiting for the day we get a hypogean thats actually dimensional similar to how wukong is technically a dimensional.

[candid violet]

Thanks

[spice mulch]

[sturdy nova]

Three? Maulers lbs and? Cele hypo are two

[crystal tapir]

"Immortal" doesn't mean "invincible" or "unbeatable".

Far from it, actually. Their bodies are still falling apart, and the majority of them aren't even sentient.

The playable ones are the minority with exceptionally strong wills. Most people who become Graveborn become scarcely more than animals.

And that's what Selzius and Stexis are.

And even most of them who do keep some of their sense of self are usually still consumed by what they were feeling at the time of their death (Thoran, for instance).

[uneven echo]

That includes graveborns as they are in conflicts as well. Remember quadeam is trying to convert as many people into becoming a graveborn foot soldier. And well.... they don't want to 🙂 difference is that the graveborns aren't easily killed. Like dead-dead.

[uneven echo]

Im aware it doesnt mean invincible, but considering the rate at which people are dying in the realm of esperia combined with the ageless immortality of the graveborn faction would still be excellent conditions for there to be plenty of graveborns.

[crystal tapir]

Yeah, and we don't know how many there are. But there are definitely a lot — have you seen the size of Bantus? It's practically a subcontinent!

[uneven echo]

If this game ever becomes an anime (unlikely but one can hope...) the kill count will rival that of berserk.

[silk widget]

I guess it's not that easy to summon forth a new graveborn.

temple of light also actively seek to execute necromancers, so it boils down to them not having enough necromancers to do the resurrections.

[hazy willow]

now I want a berserk crossover event

[bleak hull]

1. Necromancers are rare
2. Necromancy is hard
3. Graveborn as a whole aren't welcome into any other territories

[dry onyx]

I would imagine being a graveborn would be something like being hollow: die too much and you just kinda become a brainless immortal object

[paper spoke]

well at least silas did bring back izold glory so he's not really a bad guy

[bleak hull]

If they are separated from their body then they're pretty much just a husk of immortality

[wanton tangle]

And Hodgkin's arm cannons, allegedly.

[paper spoke]

yeah

[spiral estuary]

Oh yeah baby new hero

[trail kite]

Girl character with wolves

[silk widget]

Sound like a beast whisperer. Similar to lorsan the wind whisperer, and solise the flower whisperer

Could be?

There is also that small child Dea whom Saurus has been looking for, but it doesn't really match dolly's dialogue like a beast whisperer does

[spice mulch]

Finally

A beast tamer

[lament meadow]

AND a wilder, it sounds like

[sturdy nova]

Hopefully, since it also mentions, forest

Also, happy volkin noises

Maulers are 🤢🤮

Not as bad as lb

[jaunty nacelle]

Wrong

[silk widget]

It's fact

[trail kite]

The Mauler Engraving lore is like..

There is a a part that show the dark side of the lb society

[spice mulch]

Why did the LB empire gave the engravings to the quicksand claws?

What's wrong with them?

[silk widget]

They wanted to stir internal conflict between mauler's tribes. It's a smart move tbh

[twin sleet]

[crystal tapir]

At least it would have been if they took into account that the Maulers would probably get the secrets from a conquered QC.

[spiral estuary]

Ouuu

the relationship between maulers and lightbearers is actually sort of interesting but it's forever overshadowed by the hypogeans vs the rest of the world battle thing

what is Thane's eyes color?

[agile tartan]

Not sure

Maybe u could view in there dolly corners

When they make this lil comics

I think there one for thane

[trail kite]

Grey or hazel brown?

Damn...I getting use for Color Thane's eyes as grey now...

it's a very intriguing discussion and i want to know what other people think

[lament meadow]

this is actually not an uncommon theory among the afk community

well, i should say that the idea of hypogeans mimicking heroes in general is not a new one--the idea of them creating phantom forms rather than taking on their forms directly is unique, though

[mossy parcel]

Wasn't that also brought up in the summer event?

Also... from the next chapter of "yes M'lady Anecdotes of Esperia"...
We know a little bit about Wasteland Assassin

Like.. they're from the Graveborn,

I knew not all Graveborn are evil. It's just Graveborn are like grey morality

[crystal tapir]

Most Graveborn, even ones who manage to keep their free will and sense of self, don't really have a choice. Thoran is a tyrant who will throw any GB who even seems to be questioning him or Qaedam into the Black Prison he invented.

Were things any different for them, I'm sure the majority would just want to be left alone to live their (for-lack-of-a-better-word) lives in peace.

[dark heath]

Is it possible that Edwin will become a playable character in this game?

[crystal tapir]

I'd say it's a certainty eventually. Lots of now-playable characters were previously mentioned in more ages ago.

[civic geyser]

I hope he is, he's in a whole bunch of heroes' lores

[sturdy nova]

Anisel coming as a playable celestial

[spiral estuary]

New hero, guys

they havent even released the last one, mother fuckers

As long as they take their time releasing another Dimensional so I can finally start working on getting Arthur after getting Davinci, I’m fine with normal units coming out.

[dark heath]

Understandable

[trail kite]

Or I think those horns are like decoration

Head decoration

[agile tartan]

as i said decades ago

he's cosplaying ferael

[trail kite]

Not like Silvina, Isabella, Desira which their horns are like part of the body

[agile tartan]

i dont think silvina and isabell and desira

those things are horns

[trail kite]

Ferael's horns , Hodgkin's horns are just hair decoration

I think they're like horns...are just antenna

[agile tartan]

they like even move

but its weird anyway

[trail kite]

Kinda like...some antenna like stuff

[agile tartan]

its different to antandra

a horn should not move ofc

[uneven echo]

So is mishaka another elemental guardian type or is she just someone that spends too much time with other animals?

[agile tartan]

but there horns are pretty weird that they can like move or wiggle

still think its a horn anyway

[agile tartan]

idk i didnt read anything about her

ppl say she has like something with grez

no im no talking about the skill that mentions him

that's a mistypo

[trail kite]

That's Grez stuff is just mistypo

[agile tartan]

yeah i know

but i think he's in her lore

from what ive heard

[uneven echo]

The lore master is back

[agile tartan]

[silk widget]

She is just a skinshifter, someone who can shapeshifting due to being close to dreamwood realm

[agile tartan]

welcome back

[uneven echo]

Thanks

[agile tartan]

man the info

if shes a shapeshifter does she have any other shapes?

or only turning to a bear

[trail kite]

The dreamwood realm....seem new

She can only turn into a bear

[uneven echo]

Wait so she was originally a (nonexperimented) human? Interesting.

[agile tartan]

hmm

would be cool if she can turn to atleast 2 shapes

[silk widget]

I think she can only turn into bear. The lore mentioned that she gets very used to doing it that parts of her body are permanently stay in bear form

[agile tartan]

that would interesting

[agile tartan]

ooh

makes sense

[spice mulch]

From the english lore?

[lament meadow]

ye if you have the lore id like to see it

Just reread the eng lore and there is no mention of that part, not in cn version either. So weird, I do remember reading that part very clearly.

@spice mulch from her si item's description apparently

[spice mulch]

Nice

There are some differences between the lore this time

There's no dreamwood in the original version

[silk widget]

Dreamwood is Magic Night Forest in the cn lore iirc

It's also mentioned in Raku's lore

[spice mulch]

Yeah but they call that place as the land between the dream realm (Tasi's world) and the physical world

It doesn't exist in the chinese version

Why are they changing things again

[silk widget]

It would be more surprised if the eng translator did not change original contents lmao

[spice mulch]

Yeah

[lilac ether]

sounds like a crutch for keeping her mostly human but also count as a "monster girl"

atleast its not too bs with her living in the forest and all

[inland whale]

Where is rustport on the map?

[split iris]

Actually I'm wondering about that too

inb4 it's chapter 49

[spice mulch]

It's near the Bantus castle

It's where the misty valley is located

[crystal tapir]

So you mean that Mirael described as being from Bantus in Dolly's Corner isn't a mistake, after all?

[silk widget]

What? I'm totally lost now.

And the location in chapter 9 is not Rustport iirc.

I think it was autotranslated as howling bay in cn lore. And its official english name is screaming bay which is often mentioned in Desira and hodgkin's lore

That's another bullshit inconsistency in naming right there

Nvm. There is an explaination of how chapter 9 is referred to as Screaming Bay in the original of gb lore

Just reread some of the gb lores that have rustport mentioned. Chapter 9 is indeed Rustport. That location also has other names such as screaming bay.

Apology to mr. @spice mulch

[inland whale]

So

Rustport is abandoned?

[vapid musk]

But in the cn in dolly's corner she is just from empire, not specified that it is Bantus

耀光 lightbears
班題斯 for bantus empire
帝國 just empire

With mirael we have this

(My friend do a little research yeah)

[bleak hull]

Is it possible there's place in the Lightbearer empire also called rustport

[lament meadow]

what do hypogeans smell like

i realize this is a very strange question to ask but we are living in a post-smell tierlist world

[inland whale]

Depends

Mezoth for example probably smells like rotten sashimi

[lament meadow]

why did you specifically have to go for mezoth like that

there are like eight other hypogeans to choose from

[silk widget]

Dude never brush his teeth after meal.

[dark heath]

Jesus christ. Why can I imagine him actually bringing up diarrhea?

Mishka: So how did you die?

Daimon: Shat myself to death

i hate this conversation

[heavy bramble]

Don't we all?

[spice mulch]

I mean, that's canon

[lament meadow]

well the real question is, would the doggos let him pet them

[dark heath]

I hope so

It’s not like Daimon wanted to be revived, right?

He’s just a sad lil Graveborn boi

[crystal tapir]

I mean, they might cheer him up a bit. He's definitely one of the friendlier GBs.

[dark heath]

Are Shemira and Niru (kinda) friendly? I know Niru was messing with patients with magic, but in their union story, they guided a couple of lost souls.

[trail kite]

Some GB are friendly, some are neutral grey morality

I think most of them are grey morality

[heavy bramble]

Nara is pretty much evil

[trail kite]

Except for some GB

[crystal tapir]

IIRC, Shemira mostly keeps to herself.
Niru, meanwhile, is pretty much the embodiment of "Good Is Not Nice".

[trail kite]

Yes he is like that

GB have their own struggle and conflict

[dark heath]

And then there’s Thoran, who is very mean (except to Grezhul) and wants to kill his brother

[crystal tapir]

Thoran is irredeemably evil, according to things background lore says he's done.

[trail kite]

There is a reason for him to be evil

Especially he is the ruler of GB kingdom, Bantus

Also the origin of Graveborn have some info about bantus too

[crystal tapir]

Which he forced all of his subjects to submit to Qaedam, or else he beheaded them so they wouldn't be able to communicate even if resurrected.

He also invented what's basically an artificial Hell to torment any GB he even suspects of not being wholly loyal.

[dark heath]

Where did you guys read that?

[crystal tapir]

One moment, I have the link somewhere.

[trail kite]

The Island of Banished...

[crystal tapir]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m4fWyhD4iZwfp1jhDqRdhNuA_T61Iwp0HbGI3SwH-pw/edit

[trail kite]

Also one struggle of the GB is... Hypogean can not kill the GB

[dark heath]

Oh yeahh

[crystal tapir]

Yeah... unless the Hypogean conflict ends with them being able to have some way out of their (usually-unwillingly-taken) pact, they're going to have to deal with all the worst parts of immortality.

[dark heath]

I never know how brutal the lore was for a lot of these characters when I first played

It makes sense tho

[inland whale]

Are celestials and hypogeans most powerful factions lorewise?

[noble sphinx]

yes, technically

[inland whale]

Is Torne working for the country?

[spice mulch]

Nope

Torne just got cursed

[inland whale]

Then why is he called corsair?

[spice mulch]

The name just sounds cool

I remember his name being different in chinese

[dark heath]

I might have a bit of headcanon regarding Granit. I'd like to think that Granit loves to play with kittens and whenever someone hurts the kittens, Granit gets angry and dishes out wrath upon whoever harmed the kittens.

Petrification as punishment.

[lament meadow]

ill have u kno this is a valid hc to have

[trail kite]

Drez's quote in the event

[crystal tapir]

Such a cute widdle heartless mercernary.

[crystal tapir]

...er... such a cute GIANT heartless mercernary. Who gave Drez a Super Mushroom?

[uneven echo]

Lol

You cant help but laugh it up, by how adorable it would sound in your head hearing him say that. 😂🥺

[crystal tapir]

Username checks out.

[uneven echo]

Why does he have three Oscar's i wonder? (Were those meant to be some other assasin mercenaries?)

[crystal tapir]

Judging from the special effect of only one taking damage while the others are invincible, the other two are probably illusions.

[uneven echo]

The fact that Drez, of all people, has an iou towards Mr. Wake makes me wonder what he did to deserve it? Come on Lilith you cant just drop some character connections without telling us some background! 😬

[crystal tapir]

I'm just imagining it being something not really that major but too embarrassing for him to admit/unbecoming of the fearsome reputation he tries to have.

[spice mulch]

Maybe mr Wake gave him some rare item

Or food

[split iris]

What does a person see when they get banished by Tasi?

Just curious

[dark heath]

Hell

A person see the sins they’ve committed and the torture that awaits for them

[split iris]

d a m n

tasi trying to tell me to stop retrying the same level for the past 30 minutes

Postponed again and again

[trail kite]

Damn it ... Lilith

[sullen saddle]

The publisher is responsible for it

Not Lilith THIS time

[lament meadow]

dont spam stickers in here guys

[spice mulch]

The book cover is new tho

[uneven echo]

[dark heath]

What’s in the book?

[sullen saddle]

Seems like almost the same as in-game contents
Disappointed af

[lament meadow]

smh whats even the point then augh

[spice mulch]

Seems like the original book then

A shame it has stuff that's already in the game

[trail kite]

Third boss of the circus event, Morrow

[spice mulch]

Morrow is acrobatics then

[trail kite]

knife juggling: Drez
fire juggling: Mirael
Acrobatics:...Morrow?

[split iris]

clowns: joker

(they would never)

[trail kite]

Is Mortas look like an evil clown to me

So who is puppetry

[crystal tapir]

Mortas literally was a street clown before he became a Hypogean. (And a dreadful one, at that.)
So he's a real possibility.

As for puppetry, my money's on Grezhul.

[trail kite]

I bet on Baden

Baden is more like shadow puppets to me

[crystal tapir]

Oh, wait, Rosalina!

Her magic is literally about bringing inanimate objects to life.

[lament meadow]

hey give him some credit he got into the kings court he had SOME value

[crystal tapir]

I just keep thinking about how he was so bad at applying his own makeup that he actually managed to gross out the Hypo that he later took his powers from.

[trail kite]

Mortas is a true creepy clown now

[sturdy nova]

Mine on daimon

I mean stichy is a legit puppet

[spice mulch]

Yes

[trail kite]

Mirael quote in the Circus event

[lament meadow]

keep this out of the lore channel

[sturdy forge]

Afk lore vs afk gameplay

[shell jay]

Is this really the new hero Ansiel the Celestial blacksmith?

[spiral estuary]

Yes 99.9%

[dark heath]

Hey that looks kinda cool

[desert falcon]

I’m not sure why, but for some reason the model seems like 85-90% finished to me. Maybe it’s the way they stylized his eyes not being visible, since I feel like you would be able to see them at this angle.

[sturdy forge]

Hey

Lore wise who is baden to estrilda

Her dad?

[heavy bramble]

Uncle i think

[vale grove]

Uncle

Hold up let me search something

Here!

2nd slide

[acoustic thistle]

yet

[frank meteor]

Momo

?

Dafak

[sharp vale]

Who the heck is Momo-?

[crystal tapir]

I assume the lemur from ATLA.

[simple vine]

someone posted pic of Momo (a Korean idol) here for no reason

and i told them to move to off topic

can we move on?

[trail kite]

The forth boss of the circus is Daimon...and AWWW😊

He try his best

[spice mulch]

Wait

[trail kite]

Daimon is puppetry

[spice mulch]

Aren't we missing one?

Knife - Drez
Fire - Mirael
Acrobatics - Morrow?
Clowns - ?
Puppetry - Daimon

[trail kite]

yet

[spice mulch]

How long until the event ends on test?

[trail kite]

2 day

2 day ends for the drop

[lament meadow]

id imagine its gonna be mortas for clowns

unless theres another clown adjacent character

[spice mulch]

Then, the clowns are the companions

[broken citrus]

Ah yes, we, the brave one, are going to beat up Daimon so he doesn't get the prize by pitting him against a different, angrier mommy

[sturdy nova]

There is no acrobatics on test description, clown was morrow

[lament meadow]

AGDAHGDA DID THEY REALLY IMPLY THAT MORROW WAS A CLOWN

[sharp vale]

THEYRE NOT WRONG

[sturdy nova]

why in caps?

[lament meadow]

oh im just excited agdgagd

[sturdy nova]

OH THEN LET ME JOIN THE TRAINNNNN

Also, morrow being a clown is the most unlikely choice tbh

I thought it'd be raku (which he was in the team) and as you guys speculated, mortas

[lament meadow]

ig mortas is no longer Down To Clown

[sturdy nova]

Oracle powersss^

[spice mulch]

Morrow the clown

[spice mulch]

Wow, the description hasn't been updated in live server

[coral zodiac]

LMFAO

[sturdy nova]

Haelus?

[agile tartan]

WHAT

[sharp vale]

Whattt

[uneven echo]

Wtf? So its not ansiel?????

[sturdy nova]

That's the guide part actually, background still remains same including acrobats

[sturdy nova]

Weird right? I mean I'm happy if anisel is actually different since i imagined anisel to be like papa Hendrik with white beard and experience and actually a celestial

Not some godly bot! Like this is silas if he were an celestial, and titus would be his izold

[lament meadow]

no see, ansiel is the heavenly crafter. haelus is just the crafter

important distinction there

[quasi wedge]

student?

[lament meadow]

SEE thats what i was thinking

[quasi wedge]

maybe ansiel is like the gb creator, too stronk to be added

[spice mulch]

Maybe the they changed the name, like cowards

[spice mulch]

缔造之手 - 赫洛斯

Helos/Heluos

@silk widget Is Ansiel's name different in chinese? From Ortrhos lore

[spice mulch]

安塞尔

it's different

[silk widget]

@spice mulch Ansiel's name is the same in both cn and eng versions

it could be that the new hero is not ansiel, but his discipline.

If Haelus were in deed Ansiel, then it could be because of name change

Just like how Edwin was called Jonas in older cn lore and then he was later renamed as Edwin

[spice mulch]

Yeah

[tight jungle]

So, who is Haelus then, in the lore side of things, do they exit already?

[spice mulch]

We will know later

[tight jungle]

Fair enough.

[uneven echo]

So I have to wonder, does ansiel posses the same power that rivals that of dura or annih? Because he seems to have a huge impact to the celestials.

[spice mulch]

He's a god so yeah

[silk widget]

I think Ansiel is not as powerful as Dura and Annih. Dura can create new gods like the twins. And as for athalia, she was just a divine weapon at first, and was able to gain consciousness and became god just by absorbing Dura's aura. Ansiel on the other hand, created Orthros but the lore did not indicate if orthros gain consciousness and became god with his help. Not only that, Orthros seems to be closer to Dura than his original creator

[sturdy nova]

Wait so athalia was not a priestess of dura that got ascended to be a god?

[silk widget]

Nope. Her lore in cn mentioned that she was a divine weapon which transcended to god by sensing Dura's aura. And as usual, I will always advocate to stick to cn lore for cannon details because the eng translation of the lores are not accurate as you already know

[spice mulch]

Being a weapon is better than being a LB tbh

[bleak hull]

That explains the sharp legs

[sturdy nova]

"Ansiel"

the new hero's lore is quite vague and shows no charcter relations, except one his friend who might be an lb

[silk widget]

Haelus's lore is good. I like it

Still not entirely sure if he is ansiel or not.

And for that warlord guy Gaius, I think he was mentioned in the cn lore about the origins of lightbearers which i have posted in here a while ago

So Haelus is an ancient character. He lived in the same period of time as Lord Quaedam when they were mortal. Even older than thoran and lucr.

Also gb incoming

[agile tartan]

bruh

already

[silk widget]

I've always been waiting for a Tainted GB, a gb that hates gb

[agile tartan]

wait

what does he sound like?

im bad at reading

[silk widget]

Who? Haelus?

[agile tartan]

the gb

[silk widget]

Tained gb are "good" gb. They don't want to be gb and always try to lift the curse.

[agile tartan]

oooh

[coral zodiac]

Would be interesting to see a gb like that tbh

[agile tartan]

interesting

i like the sound of him

hopefully broken to fuck ainz up

1000% extra dmg against dims

[coral zodiac]

Like Morrow and the LB faction

[agile tartan]

ye

he could have like a non-related gb design

like morrow

[silk widget]

Waiting for some "tainted" celestial or "tainted" hypo

[agile tartan]

i would love to have something like morrow

[coral zodiac]

yep

[agile tartan]

wrong design stuff

makes it unique

and confusion

[coral zodiac]

I mean, not everybody in a group is going to be the same. There are always someone who is different to the rest, more or less.
Morrow literaly went: "Yeet this magic, I want dark magic stuff"

[trail kite]

Tainted Graveborn... interesting

[agile tartan]

hopefully he has something of hating ferael

[trail kite]

Yes...mf rivalry or enemies is my taste

[agile tartan]

delete ferael when?

[coral zodiac]

No

[trail kite]

No...Only me delete him

[coral zodiac]

Nooooo

[trail kite]

I will do it now

[silk widget]

Anyone read haelus's lore yet? I skimmed thru it twice and it seems he is not Ansiel. Ansiel was the one that reconstructed his body. I'll reread the lore again later, too tired now lol

[coral zodiac]

No, I didn't

[silk widget]

His lore has been posted if anyone missed it. Just scroll up the chat a little bit

[coral zodiac]

I guess I will maybe read it when it hits global server

I hope it's understable, the spanish translation is a bit wonky sometimes XD

[silk widget]

I feel you. Vietnamese Translation is also just as bad

[coral zodiac]

dfvdf 🤝

Verb tenses in spanish can be hard. But they are improving in the translations in general so

[vale grove]

GRAVEBORNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

[shell jay]

I read it, it's good, and like you say, I don't think Haelus is Ansiel either just another construction of Ansiel.

[vale grove]

I think that now is know that I love gb

I think that also sounds as an hypo

I know that I'm late but-

I like both options

[trail kite]

Me as the GB fan...

Also low-key Wilder fan

[coral zodiac]

Me LBs and Gbs

[sturdy nova]

I did, but there's no mention of 'ansiel' except in his si

[silk widget]

That's just my first impression of the lore. I only skimmed thru it very fast, but at the end of the lore where a god told Haelus that "creation is more meaningful than destruction" got my attention. That god might be the god of creation Honas or Ansiel or some other gods. His lore is so vague, we can't really tell if Haelus is indeed Ansiel or just another divine craftsman.

Or Haelus could just be Ansiel's name when he was still mortal. Make it simple

[sturdy nova]

Technically Lucretia is a tainted hypo isn't she?

[sturdy nova]

Exactly it is very vague

[trail kite]

How tall is Respen?

[agile tartan]

No

🫂

[simple vine]

I just cleared the new vow

what does it mean

what did lucius do

did he use dark art or something

[novel oasis]

yes

[rapid crag]

lmao

[coral zodiac]

Oh wow
