[lament meadow]

also did u know that there WAS a canon height list of all the heroes out at the time? its somewhere in this channel but ill have to find it

(know that i pretend it doesnt exist bc it says that mezoth is only 7'1, which...if you saw him in lucretias preview trailer youd see that hes like double the size of zaphrael and his hand could completely cover his head so thats automatically false)

[quiet tinsel]

hmmm i'd love to see it but it'd be best to get an updated one

canon ages, too

Dropping it again won't hurt anyone lol

Oh, and it's in cms

[trail kite]

I need Respen and Treznor height

[vale grove]

Baden's height is 182 cm now

[ebon lion]

ayy, hunchback ninja kelthur is same height as me

[quiet tinsel]

tfw im about as tall as rowan

[analog pebble]

Ezizh...

[lament meadow]

yeah he a big boi

[analog pebble]

He is 8 meters

[analog pebble]

And half

Three floors

[fallen trellis]

Eironn is a giant

[slate blaze]

He studying the lore, very good

[trail kite]

That's count his horns so Eironn is tall like that

[broken citrus]

Someone is turning into Mezoth

[spice mulch]

Wow

[sturdy nova]

that is so creey! i hd chills reading that "looking at prey" line

[analog pebble]

This is on boss land

Right?

Try to reach the thing near the boss

[analog pebble]

The one on the left

[dark heath]

Bruh I thought Framton would have a better voice than that

[vale grove]

sounds demonic

I like it

tbh I was expecting another thing but I like his voice

[dark heath]

I was also expecting something else

Maybe I’ll get used to it

[quiet tinsel]

I have no way of comparing because his cn voice seems broken and doesn't play for me, but having compared many en and cn voices, the eng version os often very mismatched

Morrow seems like one of the worst case, with his English voice being low and rough while his cn one is very high pitched

[vale grove]

Ooo, I have to check Framton cn voice

[quiet tinsel]

Hope he works for you

[vale grove]

Framton cn voice (without music)

@quiet tinsel it worked for me

hope you don't mind the @

[sturdy nova]

so lorsan's met talene in his childood?

[quiet tinsel]

ooh nice, i like it

[sturdy nova]

and is that lorsan and lyca's mom?

[quiet tinsel]

what if that's why lorsan's got powers

[sturdy nova]

i mean wasn't he trained by arden, pardon me if i am wrong but he wasn't born with powers, right? or atleast like could just talk to wind(how solise is a flower whisperer and lorsan the wind whisperer)

eironn or his elven kind i suppose, @silk widget do we have any lore piece about them?

[broken citrus]

Framton really vibe checked the Elves

[vale river]

Progenitor of Villains (OC)
One of my Traditional + Digital work...

Color template inspired from Hypogean

[quiet tinsel]

Ooh nice

What he do 👀

[vale river]

Manipulates people and make them his subject.
Just like any Villain, his main goal is to either wipe out humanity or establish dominance...

[silk widget]

No, i cant really think of anything related to him. he looks more like that common wilder hero girl. Eironn has a pair of horns, and this guy doesnt

[quiet tinsel]

i hope we get a bad ending like this where hypogeans actually achieve their goals like these 👀

Is lorsan and lyca related in some way?

[fallen trellis]

They're siblings

ohh

[vale grove]

I'll have to listen to this

[quick lotus]

Who the hell is Thoran's brother?

[silk widget]

Edwin.

[quick lotus]

Yea but it said he was revived and thoran + grez were seeking vengeance

Is that story in the union?

I thought edwin was supposed to be a hero lol

[spice mulch]

Maybe in the future

[quick lotus]

I bet he's been totally forgotten about lol

[silk widget]

I don't think so. Lilith has been forshadowing him a lot in many different places, in mortas's lore for example. he'll be released as playable gb hero. We just dont know when

[quick lotus]

Edwin gonna be baden levels of doodoo

[spice mulch]

If he was LB of course

[dark heath]

Have you guys heard of Framton’s theme? Actual fire

Since we’re giving out themes, why not give our good friend Hodgkin one?

[vale grove]

Yeah I did! I like it! It gave me ideas fro drawing, but I can't draw now
I would love that, maybe in the future, I searched some pirate themes in YouTube for when I draw

[quiet tinsel]

i have not! where can i find it? 👀

[lament meadow]

https://youtu.be/15SHOCqNhfA

boop!

[quiet tinsel]

wooow it's so good

this is the first time they release a musical theme for a character, right?

do we know if they plan to release it for spoti?

[lament meadow]

not right now, no

[quiet tinsel]

well fingers crossed then because this is really good 👀

[sturdy nova]

they'll rework framton 100 times to make him as op if not more than lucretia, i mean they sure are putting work into him, don't wan him to be niche or forgotton

[dark heath]

Imma be real with you guys

I didn’t expect a mobile game that had those really weird ads to actually make a theme that is so good

and have actual good gameplay

[crystal tapir]

In exactly the same boat as you here.
I installed it begrudgingly as part of a (ultimately impossible to complete) cross-promotion with another app.
I wasn't expecting to fall in love with the characters and setting.

[dark heath]

For sho, for sho

I didn’t think that it would actually have some cool looking characters with really cool abilities

[quiet tinsel]

yeah i wish more people tried it, but most people have tried other gachas in the past and aren't willing to give this one a go, even though it's actually good

[analog pebble]

In hunting fields event most of players noticed that the boss are changing when he get damage

From this to this

There was another change between them but I didn't toke a screenshot for it

There are 3 of this things

And they wrote that all of them are from the same monster

So it is the boss

What that useful at ?
No thing

But after we saw the campaign sites I think they was for a team that start to die

And here was a note that written on it that they were too hungry and no thing Is able to eat except snow and his friend

And the one who wrote the note tried to get out of hunting fields because his friend wanted to eat him

What that mean?
I don't know

I think they was 4

Because there was a note in another place

That was someone on the snow

Holding a picture for 4 people

He was dead

And there was another note for someone was killed by a knife

And there was 2 only in the camp here so there were 4

[crystal tapir]

We finally get to see what a non-humanisized Obsidian Finch looks like.

Today I learned that Arden is Nemora's dad

Both are halfsheep

[spice mulch]

He's not

Arden is her teacher

He also taught lots of other wilders

[trail kite]

Read the lore carefully before talk

Arden is Nemora's teacher and tutor

[dark heath]

Your dad can't be your mentor? Both are half sheep. Both have sheep horns. The visual cues are right there

[trail kite]

Read the union story

[vale grove]

Realized Skriath's inn quote, idk if without skin it changed
Traduction:
Brave Adventurer: Everyone can find peace here. Regardless of race or faction, it is a brief respite from these violent times. What an extraordinary place! (Not only that, the hotel has a lot of history, a shop, and a backstage boss that makes it quite mysterious too!) Ah, really? How fascinating! Thank you for explaining to me. Please accept this gift as a representation of me and my gratitude.

[crystal tapir]

It's the same regardless of costume. Skriath's just really friendly.

[quiet tinsel]

in retrospect i've never read any of those, is there a list somewhere?

Also eng version of ch1 of Talene comic just dropped

[scenic tiger]

Is nara the woman with a hooked blade in fareals story??

[spice mulch]

No

[sturdy nova]

new hero is a wilder?

[dark heath]

MISHKAAAAAA (it looks like her) https://cdn.afk.guide/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Mishka-The-Wild-Child-268x300.png

SOMEONE SAVE THAT CHILD

(I could be wrong tho)

[spice mulch]

If the child is holding a fire thing she's in danger

[sturdy nova]

framton must be after her or sth

flames and shadows becoming claws and she has wilder symbol behind her

[rancid plank]

Wow

[quiet tinsel]

i don't think that's mishka, eye color doesn't match and mishka doesn't have a tail i think

could be the same species though

probably another character i'll instaupgrade if comes out though

and we already know what child mishka looked like

[sturdy nova]

the biggest point is she doesn't have normal human hands, like the in pic hero has

[quiet tinsel]

i mean if we didn't know how young mishka looks like we could assume she didn't have bear hands back then

[spice mulch]

Mishka has a different backstory too

[silk widget]

You don't have to assume, it's in her si's description

[quiet tinsel]

Oh i seee

[forest oar]

Where is this from?
Anywhere on the community posts?

[modest echo]

where is this picture from?

[quiet tinsel]

this one's from one of the comics they released in chinese but never in english, i linked a drive with the full compilation of those somewhere before

here

[forest oar]

Thank you!!

[quiet tinsel]

i am slowly doing translations for those in my free time, too

[quiet tinsel]

👍

[obtuse coral]

Thanks 😄 @quiet tinsel

[quiet tinsel]

[unique narwhal]

[silk widget]

Please do, appreciate your effort. I've read them using auto translation tool but they were not very accurate

[quiet tinsel]

i'm also translating them via a translator but i can usually figure things out well enough that it all makes sense

[coral zodiac]

aaaahhh I didn't saw the Haelus one!
He is so cute wtf

[forest oar]

That's noble! Thank you for your effort!
Are the translations somewhere?

[silk widget]

So according to the lore of the upcoming event Frosty Isle, Gretel Hawk probably is a dwarf.

[trail kite]

She is a dwarf ?

[silk widget]

Btw Hawke is a male according to cn lore. As usual, don't trust the eng translation

[quiet tinsel]

So far I've only done one and dropped it here, but when i make more I'll probably put them into google drive like i did with those

[sturdy nova]

got it from vk.com/ afk_inside, must be datamined for the persuit of fire event

[modest echo]

Ok

[rigid locust]

This game has lore? All I know is Hit challenge and murder anyone

[coral zodiac]

Yes, it has

[silk widget]

Someone is just either playing dumb or has never really read anything in the game.

[lament meadow]

tbf i find it entirely plausible that people never bother to check the flavor text or background information lol

[hearty grotto]

This is me. But I did read a couple stories. Like I thought mishka was a boy and was confused. Also when I got ainz. But yeah basically never lol

[silk widget]

I mean everytime you unlock a new character, the game takes you to their background story pages and reward you 100 diamonds. How in the hell people don't see those jungle of text?

[lament meadow]

bro you really think they dont just take the diamonds and back right tf out

[silk widget]

Of course, but i mean even if you dont read anything, you will see the lore right there, unless you are blind

[lament meadow]

OHHHHH fair

[silk widget]

How are you going to defend that? What are those text for? Some wiki guide on how to play the heroes?

[crystal tapir]

Anyone else find it odd how Pippa suddenly started referring to herself in the third-person in the latest VoW?

Lendri hopes it's just a phase or a mistranslation. She's neurodivergent, not stupid.

Also, while I thought she and Raku were just best friends before, now I'm convinced she's head-over-heels for him, what with her thoughts constantly drifting to him even when talking to complete strangers.

[lament meadow]

i have not played the latest vow but yeah thats...concerning

[crystal tapir]

I do at least have some benefit of the doubt here because I know there may be some linguistic differences at play.

[quiet tinsel]

I don't have comparison but in japan (so perhaps in china too?) characters refering to themselves in third person isn't uncommon when they're supposed to appear quirky or cute

so it could be a result of poor translation, since it's not a common thing in english

[spice mulch]

Yeah, that might be it

Lilith's translation isnt the best

[lament meadow]

does anyone have the lore for the arbiter of chaos event?

[quiet tinsel]

drew the hypogean woman aha 👀

[coral zodiac]

looks amazing!

[quiet tinsel]

she is why you don't adopt human kids as a hypogean

[lapis stag]

[quiet tinsel]

[dark heath]

The who? great art btw

[quiet tinsel]

My afk oc

I posted her somewhere before

Here

[dark heath]

Someone hire this man for Lilith

[quiet tinsel]

Yes Lilith pleas hire me

[lament meadow]

do you have a link to her full backstory anywhere?

[quiet tinsel]

the proper version is in progress but i can give you a quick summary if you want

[lament meadow]

please do!

[quiet tinsel]

So pretty much the girl(that doesn't have a name but idk if she needs one) was caught up in a fire and orphaned as a result. she survived but she was severely burned, so unlike most babies she never got adopted and lived in the orphanage. she struggled to make a friends because she looked scary with her burns so they called her a monster
then one day a hypogean showed up in the town in a bloody rage and she went to him claiming that since they're both monsters they should stick together. the hypogean found the idea funny that a human child would rather be with him than her own kind and decided to raise her (as best as he could raise a human). Obviously he raised her to hate humankind but he was a surprisingly a good father. However over the time her hatred for humankind grew, and she hated herself for it - she would give anything to become hypogean like her father. So she made a ritual, sacrificing her soul, her caring father and the "fate of humanity", and from those wishes Dracoraa was born (i liked that name so i'll stick with it), driven only by her hatred of humankind.

[coral zodiac]

THIS IS SO POG

[vale grove]

omg I love this

[lament meadow]

hhhhhh thats so good

i love hypogeans with actual fucking nuance to them thank u for the food

[vale grove]

Ayyy, I have to continue with my hypo oc lore

gonna make a year since I created him

And redraw him too lmao

[coral zodiac]

I kinda want to revamp the design of mine lol

[quiet tinsel]

feed me hypogeans i hunger

[vale grove]

I also have to draw an celestial oc I have too that is related with Áedán (hypo oc), they knew each other before hypo war started and it's like same start, different ending, I'm thinking about that Áedán's soul is an hypogean one but he doesn't know until (cw: mention of death): his human father ||dies|| and Annih finds him and gets his son back to his side

a super bad summary I guess ;-;

[lament meadow]

@quiet tinsel do you know about that one vow where it was stated that hypogeans can help someone bring another person back to life but at the cost of the person inciting the ritual becoming a hypogean themselves

bc thats what your story reminds me of

[quiet tinsel]

nope i forgot all about it but it does sound similar

👀

although in her case it was quite opposite, since she used sacrifices instead so i wonder if that could be an option too

how many people willingly turned themselves into hypogeans in esperia

speaking of being punished for attempting to bring someone else back to life, it kinda sounds like my graveborn ocs 👀

perhaps i should rewrite them then
or not

[lament meadow]

please share the celestial oc asap

[quiet tinsel]

ohh i love themes of tho characters put through similar experiences with different outcomes 👀 please share more

[vale grove]

I don't have a drawing, only a sketch let me search

[lament meadow]

also a hypogean sacrificing themselves for their loved one implies a level of nuance among the hypogeans that doesnt really exist in canon, which i appreciate

like you dont really see the hypos in canon really caring about each other or anything in a way that isnt immediately self-serving

[quiet tinsel]

i would imagine they're ruled primarily by instinct, and they have varying level of sentience

like some of them are rawr scary monsters while other can communicate

[vale grove]

Here she's! her name is Aira and knew Áedán before he transformaed to hypo and before she becamed a celestial
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/589565722326466560/807631549436395560/Aira_Celestial_oc.png

I have been trying a lot of time to desing her outfit but I always fail ;-;

[quiet tinsel]

can't wait to see where this design goes

celestials are hard to design ngl

[vale grove]

I think I have some sketches saved

let me see...

I don't find any pic

I had in mind that she's trained by Alna, so I thought she could had a similar weapon, thought about giving her a amazon look, cause the rest of ideas I liked she looked as Athalia ahsjkasfhasd

also small detail she's a good celestial not like Zaphrael ;-;

[lament meadow]

yeeeeee

[vale grove]

Also Áedán doesn't like celestials (so he feels betrayed when he discovered that Aira is a celestial) cause something that happened in the lore and super super hates Zaph for what he did to Lucretia

I have to work more with them

[mossy parcel]

[vale grove]

spoiler: ||then he doesn't, that like he doesn't mind, they talk and then they are back togheter||

||but only her||

I have to write the Dolly's Corner of these two as I did with Yusi (gb oc) so I force myself to write things down about these two ahkdsñhafkdhksa

[quiet tinsel]

i am so mad at zaphrael, i don't know how couldthey ever begin to redeem him ngl

[vale grove]

yeap

[quiet tinsel]

like how in the world is that a celestial

[vale grove]

yeah

it is

why

[quiet tinsel]

celestials: we are beings of love and light, existing purely to protect people
zaphrael, one minute after ascension: no, i don't think i will

[vale grove]

asjkflasdf yeah

[lament meadow]

funny inn quote

"mankind struggles to reflect on its inherent nature" says the man who struggles to reflect on his own inherent nature merely because he ascended to godhood

[coral zodiac]

I'm about to do that my cele oc is chill with hypos when they are nice/good and not just go "imma end them" when therw is an hypo in sight

[coral zodiac]

yeah

[quiet tinsel]

actually i wonder if dracoraa would bother with celestials at all

probably wouldn't care much

until they directly got in her way\

Also those two are my graveborn babies (designs not final yet)

[vale grove]

OMG I LOVE THEM

They have names?

[quiet tinsel]

yep, the girl is called Sulz and the lizard is called Mirian

[lament meadow]

lizerd

[quiet tinsel]

their lore is literally getting punished for trying to bring back dead

[lament meadow]

the lizard one reminds me of the corpse weeper from made in abyss

[quiet tinsel]

because of the eye, but he'll look different when finalized

he's rather massive

didn't fit on the pic he too fat

[vale grove]

Omg so cute ❤️

[lament meadow]

too fat
LES FUCKIN GOOOOO SHOW ME THE CHONKY BOI

[quiet tinsel]

but im kinda on the edge because first i wanted Mirian to have this flat, round tongue but he looked too much like toothless
so i changed to this slim lizardlike one but now i cant unsee him as corpse weeper

decisions decisions

[vale grove]

Yeah, decisions are hard

[quiet tinsel]

This one shows hes chonky but those are outdated designs

[vale grove]

Happened with Yusi's outfit to me

[vale grove]

omfg I love them

[quiet tinsel]

though if i decide to change the resurrection lore and have them as regular wilders i may go back to those designs

the general idea is that Sulz can see other realms and somewhat realmwalk spiritually, but the rest is different between versions

The OG idea was that Sulz just happened to befriend Mirian in another realm and honestly noone really has any idea what he is but they're besties

[coral zodiac]

I want to pet them

[quiet tinsel]

The current one is that they were wilder kid friends, but Mirian died in an accident and she followed him to the afterlife to bring him back, which got her punished for messing with the natural order of things, turning her into an undead... but she did manage to bring part of him back with her, in an altered form

i like this one because it's edgy

[quiet tinsel]

actually this got me thinking... because in Morrow's lore we can read that NO MAGIC can bring dead back...(at least in a non-necromantic way) And if anyone would know of such way of bringing dead back, it would probably be him, the master of dark magic, especially with that book of his. So it could obviously be an instance of the writers forgetting what they wrote, or just a separate team writing the wov.... but, assuming it's not - what if it's just a way hypogeans use to lure people to incite the ritual that was never intended forbringing people back? Like, they use the image of a dead loved one and promise to bring them back... but they never actually intend to?

[lament meadow]

well in the vow you interact with the person they brought back so if that were the case then i imagine that guys a hypogean indeed masquerading as that person

though my own personal interpretation is that the soul of the guy is brought back...as a hypogean

so basically the guy who asked the hypos for help and the guy they brought back (a father son pair) are both hypogeans now

[quiet tinsel]

so you get monkey pawed...

i like this idea very much

.

Yusi
~Knowledge has no limits, as the sea~
Mokiners: The Adventurer Botanist (formely),The Annoying one of the crew (formely), The Death Healer
Species Graveborn, formely human
Age: Looks around 29 years
Height: 169 cm(Still thinking about it)
Hobbies: As a human, she loved to learn about natural remedies and medical plants and experiment with them, loved to travel and discover new places and adventures and returning to home with her formely family. In one of her travels, she meet Hodgkin, making her discover the sea shanthies, that she loves to sing and dance, and about sea life.
Likes: Being with her good friend, Shemira, and her family. Found out about new plants and help others, sing, especially sea shanties
Hates: seeing her family and friends suffer
Personality: Even if Yusi didn't had biological family, she found ones to call her own, her childhood friend, Shemira, considered her a sister. Her travellings gave them the oportunity to try to find a way to cure Daimon's illness, or at least, try to make him feel better. With an adventurous and good spirit, she travelled all along Esperia, to find new medical treatments. But this travels became longer and longer, once, she needed to travel by sea, she didn't had money, by destiny, she meet Hodgkin, she had to exchange a valious gold necklace with and obsidian flower to join his crew. First days weren't the best, and the Captain wasn't very good with her. Even with that treathment, doesn't stopped her when Hodgkin's life was in danger. Time by time, that caused their relation to change, becoming partners in battle when she was in The Inmortal.

All changed when she discovered the rummors of his death and his crew near the Screaming bay, that left her a feeling she wasn't used too, sadness. She felt alone, and more when she arrived to the house she called home, cold, abandoned and dust that make her realize the time that passed. Kneeled, she cried alone her loss. Wishing her death, found her family in front of her, now as a graverborns, wanting her to join them. The last piece of life left her when she took the hand of her sister.
Now as a graveborn, her spirit wasn't gone, dedicated to make potions, and preserve graveborns bodies, with her enchanted book, she's now unstoppable, joining the battle to save her undead partners
Present status: Botanist and the one who help take care about graveborn bodies, preventing the descomposition, member of the crew of The Deep Tide

there, hope you all like it

sorry again

[quiet tinsel]

i'll give it a read when i'm done with my work 👀

[quiet tinsel]

ahhh i like it very much

good idea to have a graveborn doctor, i can imagine that the body preservation is a reallyuseful thing 👀

[vale grove]

Ty!

[vale grove]

Yeah! I thought about that, I read somewhere that gb bodies have to be preservated, and cause of her passion with botany she could have a role like this one in the gb faction

[quiet tinsel]

she probably has a sidejob singing shanty in gb taverns lmao

i like her

[vale grove]

Yeah! That would be awesome!

I'm glad that you like her!

Framton: Am I willing to punch a child just to eat a little fireball..?

…

Yes. Yes I am.

[quiet tinsel]

Framton then adopts the child instead

i mean think of it

ENDLESS FOOD

[distant tiger]

What if Frampton is the food?

[fallen trellis]

Hypogean steak

[sturdy nova]

she'll yeet him out

[dark heath]

He’ll eat himself out of existence

[dark heath]

Not before eating her flame 😎

[sturdy nova]

have you guys read the lore yet, please ping whenever there's discussion

she's basically a phoenix flower sprite, a literal embodiment of the flower and well she has solaris flare too

[strange locust]

does someone remember how old mishka is supposed to be? or was it ever said?

[dark heath]

In terms of biological compatibility, are Lightbearers capable of reproducing with Celestials and Hypogeans? Even creating demigods.

And now it gets interesting. What about between Celestial and Hypogean? Lucretia and Zaphrael don't count since Owain was conceived before Zaphrael became a god.

[lament meadow]

theres no canon explanation for this iirc, but my hc is that celestials can reproduce with lightbearers because theyre both made by dura, but hypogeans cant reproduce with lbs (at least, not in the usual sense) bc theyre made by annih

[quiet tinsel]

I don't think it was ever said but i was wondering too. The title says wild child, but given her lore and appearance i feel like this refers to the past rather than the present. Either way, we don't know.

[pine gyro]

astar hugging talene might be the cutest thing

[civic geyser]

Demigods would be cool

Basically all the female celehypos (except Lailah for obvious reasons) have humanoid bodies enough to probably bear children but lot of our current male celehypos are strange mates

[civic geyser]

Hypos could probably have more sexual encounters with mortals like lbs, but to do so for the purpose of having a child might be strange unless that child leans into the hypo side

The most likely to do so might be someone like Leofric or Mortas gvien that their form is mostly human and their powers are more subtle

And Mehira for obvious reasons

[fallen trellis]

[quiet tinsel]

A hypo human hybrid child but they set out to make peace between both kinds

[sterile marsh]

But does it work with and between other factions too?

[crystal tapir]

Ya are half-human, so probably. And I have no doubt that there's some furries among lightbearers.

[sterile marsh]

Haha yes

[dark heath]

Dont asks too many details 😅

[sterile marsh]

I mean... she's a birb after all

But she's git legs and all... what part did I miss in her lore?

[sterile marsh]

Is there a readable version to this?

Ok google translate is suffering with this texts lmao

[spice mulch]

Nice

Looks like it will be better

[dark heath]

2 books, 560 pages of concept art

Plus a redeem code to the frame and Im not sure if possibly a skin for Rosaline.

300 yuan is a very accessible price

But any code will not work besides the Chinese Server

[hearty grotto]

Wym, they are selling it to global players, why wouldn't the codes work?

[dark heath]

That’s Chinese don’t mix it up , for the Chinese server

[hearty grotto]

Oh I see what you meant

So...I still need time to save em

[quiet tinsel]

Actually now that i think of it, knowing how tall Eironn is we can calculate everyone's height based on pixels (1,5**pixel height*) and that would mean Morrow is about 174cm tall which is the only reason i tried to calculate this

I think that's the math, anyway, although i did it based on my screen display so it may be off, would be best if i calc'd this off the actual models, but idk if there's anywhere they can be found

although by doing math the other way around by comparing eironn and morrow's height ratio by pixel and then multiplying it by eironn's height it still turned out 174 so this is likely correct

[coral zodiac]

wow

That's the height I thought Morrow would have dabsdrefad

[lament meadow]

i dont think we can accurately use the in-game models for measurement, after all they probably had to shrink down skreg and his ironjaw to stay relatively in proportion with the other heroes

[quiet tinsel]

Thats a fair point but thats best we have for now

Until they give us canon heights for all heroes

Along with ages and blood types 👀

[lament meadow]

god you think theyll include heights and ages in the artbooks? i hope so lmao

[quiet tinsel]

If they do i'll make sure to list them

but probably not lmao

[silk widget]

Anyone in here getting the artbook?

[trail kite]

Nope
Still considering about the payment

[lament meadow]

already preordered it

[vivid surge]

Just ordered mine

[silk widget]

Redditors are having a melt down because the price of the arkbook is so 'overpriced'

[spice mulch]

Plebbitors don't read books, so of course they don't know the price of one

[lament meadow]

link bls

wait nvm literally found it on my reddit feed lol

[lament meadow]

lmao people are saying that someones gonna scan the book

[fallen trellis]

isnt that like illegal or something

[lament meadow]

like i dont doubt that SOMEONE will do it but thats still shitty to do

yeah

[fallen trellis]

._.

[lament meadow]

i mean people pirate shit all the time so i wouldnt be surprised if they did it with the artbook too lol

but again

feels wrong to brag about it

[silk widget]

I doubt lilith care much about people scanning the artbook and share it online.

[lament meadow]

eh, true

[crystal tapir]

I WOULD buy it, but I lost my debit card at the worst possible time...

[quiet tinsel]

i mean not everyone can afford a purchase like that, especially if you live in a poorer country

[coral zodiac]

I mean, I thought it was going to be more expensive. And it has more stuff than I thought it would have

Also, some people is getting it for the skin/frame too

There are another books of that style that are more expensive

[lament meadow]

yeah, but i think a possible compromise would be to release an e-book version somewhere down the line at a fraction of the current cost

granted im trying to advocate for supporting a multi-million dollar gacha game company, but at the same time the artist(s) behind it deserve compensation for their work

[quiet tinsel]

oh i certainly agree, it's just that the price will look differently to people who earn 2$/hour than people who earn 20$/hour

ebook release would be nice but it would make piracy super easy

[vivid surge]

I can totally see arthur and leofric interacting, leofric being a hypogean in disguise, ofcourse he would look for someone more gullible, like arthur, who is a “king” and “an outsider” and since Leofric is an earl, he would definitely meet the king.

[quiet tinsel]

waltzin in, all like "good day sir, you look lost, may i be of some assistance?"

[vivid surge]

He asked him with this type of look

[coral zodiac]

fghdtyhrgefd I see it

[quiet tinsel]

that's EXACTLY the look lmao

with a bow and all

[vivid surge]

Also this is enough proof theyre besties

I wanna redraw this so bad

[quiet tinsel]

i wanna know what the relations are between hypogeans ngl

in fact

more relations between characters in general

[forest bramble]

=(

[coral zodiac]

?

[ornate talon]

Where is that comic from?

[fallen trellis]

#social-media-feed

or ask Lucid the artist for it

[ornate talon]

Ok

[dark heath]

Is a Graveborn Mauler possible?

[spice mulch]

Maybe

[crystal tapir]

I've already made a GB Mauler OC, so I hope so.
(I've gotta draw her again...)

[lilac ether]

anyone got the talene journey lore outside the game
the one with farmaton and astar

[vivid surge]

Can hypogeans turn other people into hypogeans?

Like a human becoming a hypogean, or maybe a celestial

[lament meadow]

well lucretia turned into a hypogean by having the twin terrors take over her body, and mortas became a hypogean/gained by making a deal with one, so id imagine so

[boreal lichen]

Arent khazard another one

[trail kite]

My mind just pop out

Kaz's weapon shaped is like a Kunai

[nova widget]

Mezoth also - a cultist of Mezoth attacked a normal sailor whose stomach wound eventually festered and turned into a mouth and the person who was attacked became like, an avatar of Mezoth after prolonged exposure to an idol of the hypogean.

[coral zodiac]

Wasn't Korgas too trying to steal Morrow's body?

[lament meadow]

oh my god i cannot believe i overlooked the most important/obvious example of someone getting turned into a hypogean

i can no longer call myself a mezoth simp now im going to abandon society and go live in the woods

[coral zodiac]

Nooooooo

[nova widget]

It's okay, you can always carry him in your heart.

[lament meadow]

no...he deserves someone Better

someone inherit my mezoth please

@mossy parcel even if you dont play anymore hes yours now

take good care of him

[quiet tinsel]

You can always be his #2 simp
Or even #4 is good

Wow i can't believe Astar adopted Talene

[shy stump]

in the stomach, even

[dark heath]

Does anyone have any info on King Samuel

The king of Lightbearers

[coral zodiac]

The info we got on the Dolly's corner of Hendrik/Gwyneth iirc. Maybe too in Peggy's one but I'm not sure about that one

[quiet tinsel]

Big oof for Flora after the dolly's corner

[trail kite]

also have i seen this heroes before

[quiet tinsel]

Idk but looks real good

[lament meadow]

i love how they just. dont tell us what the actual ages are for hypogeans/celestials, only the apparent age

i imagine its bc they dont want smartasses like me to get caught up in the fine details regarding the exact timespan esperias history takes place in but still lol

[quiet tinsel]

yeah the exact timeline is kinda confusing already, i feel like there would be a ton of inconsistencies if we had exact data on some stuff

which appears to be a common issue when there's more than one writer, they should have a coherent timeline written down and avaible at all times

[lament meadow]

maybe the artbook will help remedy that?

[vale grove]

Re: new teaser
YESSSSS FRAMTON CONTENT

[quiet tinsel]

framton content is always welcome ngl

he's a good boy

[vale grove]

Yeas

[quiet tinsel]

idk why they paint him as a villain, i'd give him headpats

[vale grove]

Same

I would pet his ears, they are so cute

[sullen saddle]

He was in the Korean trailer like one or 2 years ago
Probably a draft of Zaphrael
Idk why he appeared again in the Flore comic tho

[trail kite]

oh...

Maybe he is another unknown celestia

[sullen saddle]

Maybe

[quiet tinsel]

looks hotter than zaph

[vale grove]

In Flora's trailer at one side can be saw Kane's figure, and in the other Alna

But this video was before Alna's release

Let me see if I find the pic

So maybe will happen something similar...

[vale grove]

(I supposed it was Alna)

Nooooo, slow internet

[quiet tinsel]

i wish we got some bosswes as playable characters :(

[spice mulch]

Awoken Zaphrael

[rustic copper]

what do you think, what kind of ancient god threatens the universe?

and why did Framton covet the flames of Astar and Talena, and not the flames of zateus?

[lament meadow]

bc they tastey

[quiet tinsel]

what would happen if framton encountered Aerina's flames? would it burn him down or not?

so many questions....

[vapid musk]

Is Kane's flame is tasty?

[rustic copper]

Given the details that have been revealed, I dare to assume that Kane is Framton's puppet

as hazard is a guldos doll, while guldos himself is a zolrats toy

[rustic copper]

Are Granite, Respen and Seirus brothers? what do you think the last 2 elementals will have a gender?

[quiet tinsel]

all men because women are evil so they're saved for hypogeans (im kidding please dont ban me im a woman ok)

[silk widget]

Maybe since the original elemental guardians consist of both genders.

[sturdy nova]

early zaph chineese leaks iirc

[sturdy nova]

"please dont ban me im a woman ok" ded XD

[quiet tinsel]

Just because some people overreact at jokes like that like chill 🥶

[rustic copper]

if Ortrus gets awakened, it means that Zolrat is stronger than him. but for some reason I thought that according to the current lore, ortrus is the strongest character, second only to Honas and his children.

[trail kite]

About the "looks around (insert age)" word
I think Dolly just look at the appearance then assume the age while their actual age is..like
Some are Older than their look

[spice mulch]

Flora has no real age, she was a flower

Same with twins, Dura just created them someday

[trail kite]

deity take a lot of form

[spice mulch]

Yeah

[grave glen]

She “created” them… 😏

[spice mulch]

the twins are her children

yeah

[small linden]

Did "cooler Talene" also have her lore changed?

[umbral shale]

most probably

[vale grove]

iirc her lore was going to be changed

only thing that had in common witht he actual Talene is the name iirc

also what kind of relation will have stargazer lady and the one of the next stargazer cards?
They look similar

[rustic copper]

Name a top 10 strongest characters by lore.

[silk widget]

Talene's lore wasn't changed. Awakened talene's lore just seems like a continuing story of the old Talene's lore

[vale grove]

Ooooo

[silk widget]

A witch hah

[rustic copper]

well yes. the first version of Talena is the one that has just been reborn. and the awakened one-during the battle with Framton.

if it weren't for Haelus, the grave-borns wouldn't exist.

[silk widget]

How?

[rustic copper]

Haelus created an aircraft on which Guy, having seized power, founded the era of the human gods. somewhere after that, Quaidam was born, who became one of the greatest magicians of Bonapea, thanks to Guy. and after his death, again, because it was Guy's fanatical desire, a ritual of eternal engraving was created, which attracted the attention of Gouldos, who destroyed Bonapei. and the subsequent action of gouldos shook the bastion of the elements, which is why Queydam broke out of the realm of the dead (because Annih was absent, in addition) and began to pull souls out of the realm of denial. and if Haelus had not created a flying machine, Guy would not have conquered the western continent, and would not have given birth to Queydam.

[silk widget]

Where did you get the latter part about Gouldos help releasing Quaedam?

[rustic copper]

equalizer/mind breaker lore. it explicitly stated that the grave-borns appeared because of a crack in the balance of the elements. and it happened when gouldos seduced Khazard, making him a demon, but before the birth of seyrus.

[silk widget]

Equalizer/mind breaker? Are they from the temporal rift?

[rustic copper]

abyssal Expedition

[silk widget]

Well Im lost now. Who is this equalizer/mind breaker? Can you explain pls

[rustic copper]

He

[silk widget]

I dont remember the balancer has anything to do with lord quaedam

[rustic copper]

and he shouldn't. it was created to destroy the grave-born, on the contrary.

[silk widget]

Now this is where you got me confused. According the balancer's lore, it's the graveborn existence that caused the imbalance in nature not the other way around

And all the stuff about haelus, gaius and quaedam commection. Is that just an assumption? Or it was mentioned somewhere that I may have missed?

[rustic copper]

no, it was the imbalance of the bastion of the elements that gave birth to the grave-born. and the equalizer, as a being created from bastion crystals, must destroy them in order for the balance to be restored.

[silk widget]

Is that what it said in your language? There may be some bad translation from cn to eng, and i've only read the eng lore of the balancer.

And the lore in your language may be based on cn text

[rustic copper]

it's just a deduction. Quaidam lived in the time of the human gods.
Guy started this era. Haelus was his assistant even before the beginning of this era. the grave-borns did not know about the ritual of eternal engraving, so quaidam died before its invention. but it was the ritual that destroyed the Bonapeis, bringing down gouldos on them

[silk widget]

According to the origin of lb lore in cn which i have shared in here quite a long time ago, "the era of human that rivals the gods" was created because Dura decided to teach mankind 'forbidden' magic. Haelus and quaedam both benefit from that.

And that piece lore is legit since it did briefly mention about gaius, friend of haelus.

[rustic copper]

haelus' lore supplemented the information about the people-gods. and according to her, before Guy-they were not.

[magic locust]

the story ended

[rigid locust]

[noble knot]

Lore!!!!

Hi

[quiet tinsel]

hello

lore

[quiet tinsel]

So do you think character's relase date is also considered their birthday?

Do we have any canon birthdays that don't match the release?

[vale grove]

Ehhhh, I think there are not canon birthdays

So yeah, maybe the date of release can be considered their birthdays

[lament meadow]

ye

[trail kite]

i think so

[lament meadow]

like how mezoths bday would literally be the day right before mine

[trail kite]

heroes before v1.11 are unknown

[vale grove]

It had to continue

I didn't saw anywhere it ended

In inkr comics appear as ongoing

[thick thorn]

My headcannon for how Talene tracked down Framton
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlZ1xpm2h1k

[split iris]

WHERE'S FRAMTON

Unrelated but does anyone know what happens if you Start Battle at Talene's abode in the new VoW?

[gloomy summit]

And who is Mistery Player

[quiet tinsel]

idk but i hope this is foreshadowing for some khazard lore

[forest oar]

Do we know who this is so far?

Or who it might be?

[orchid escarp]

who is your favourite hero in afk arena?

[strange skiff]

Gorvo

[dark heath]

That kinda looks like Stitchy https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/afk-arena/images/8/86/Daimon.png/revision/latest?cb=20210119154401

[coral zodiac]

Iirc it appeared too in a previous vow, the one where Grezhul was protagonist.
It was supposed to be Quadeam

[old current]

So lore-wise Damien drowns to death right?

As we saw in the afk YouTube video

But how does he come back

the video just shows Damien drown then come back

[spice mulch]

No

He had dissenteria

It's in his story

[gloomy summit]

He shat himself to death

[vale grove]

[vale grove]

I need to know who is Kheiss Rayne

[silk widget]

This issue is filled with new info. love it

Emperor ancelot was offered to become god but he turned down the offer

Also Kheiss Rayne being a successor to zaph. New playable lb hero very soon i guess

[vale grove]

There's a chap in the Mentor thing (I don't remember the name in English) that the tittle is thst name

Chap 20 iirc

[silk widget]

Yeah. I saw that too but it is not unlocked for me yet lol. Pls share all the chapters if you have unlocked them

[vapid musk]

in chapter 19 it's said that he is an ancestor of the Rayne family
(Well 19 is the last chapter I have, sadly on russian)

[silk widget]

that makes him less likely to be released as playable hero.

Man... Thane indirectly destroyed the most renowned family in the lb kingdom lol

[vapid musk]

That's some shitty luck, huh

[umbral shale]

successor?

i've not followed the lore for quite a while what's this new thing?

[vale grove]

In the new Dolly's corner , there's Zaph lore, and that appears in other relations

Maybe we can now more in Silent Blade comic?

[vapid musk]

Well the only thing we know about him right now
Buut again it's on russian

[sturdy nova]

any clue who the new "witch who doesn't care about looks' is? probably an lb, but any existing lore, we don't have any lb "witches" as such(except mirael) , but who knows if it's another banished mauler?
somebody over the internet predicted it could be morgan del ray from the Arthurian legend

[cobalt hamlet]

awakaned Talene is a Talene from the future?

[spice mulch]

Kinda

[swift mauve]

Why are Maulers so small? Relatively speaking

[timber tide]

Might be a racial thing, kind how dwarves are short in most lore

[analog pebble]

She says there is element imbalance that going bigger and bigger around the world

And foks said he thinks that there is someone behind that

She said she is collecting evidence too

I think we should wait to know what is happening

.
.

About hunting fields

Hunting fields are connected with the elements imbalance

In this massages we know that the water element become more stronger

And turned every thing into ice

And the people in the village start to die

And there was terrifying monsters

In the third massage it says that there was a disease that make people turn into monsters

And writer of this massages said that he is going to dark forest

And search about this in ancient books because he feel that thing will repeated

After defeating the final boss every thing turned normal

But talene said that imbalance still going bigger and bigger

[boreal lichen]

@vale grove

[vale grove]

THANK YOU SO MUCH

[rustic copper]

Can Gai and gouldos be one person?

[lament meadow]

gai?

[rustic copper]

Haelus' friend

[dark heath]

If we handle the comics and the story line as an up to date thing, then I'd say she isn't from the future, she is already awakened.
Astar got released, and in the story she actually gave Talene a great support to awaken herself. Since she is in the game, we can say that this isn't a "future" thing anymore.

[coral zodiac]

Oh, so it's Gaius in english, and Gayo in spanish, and Gai in russian?

huh

[analog pebble]

You are gai

[dark heath]

[analog pebble]

Is that fan made?

[dark heath]

What? The GIF I use?

It is Official. I cut off several part of the clip Soar, edited and using as a header. Here is the video Lilith games published: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhWRlcq0n2Y

I was actually thinking about using the clip art they used under Framton's music video (and now loading screen) but then I decided to stick to this one. Maybe they'll release more of them, as they did with Zaphrael and Lucretia.

[silk widget]

wow! The new hero Scarlet is the experimental subject who helped Isabella escaped from the secret society of the crow which was mentioned in some of dolly's issue

[coral zodiac]

wait

really?

[silk widget]

Yes. I just finished skimming thru the new hero's lore in cn

[umbral shale]

why is the new lb color scheme the same as hypogean again

[coral zodiac]

wait, chinese lore is released already?

[silk widget]

Yep

[coral zodiac]

oooo, could you share if possible?

[silk widget]

Sure.

[coral zodiac]

Thank you!

[silk widget]

Because she is associated with the SSOC, secret societ of the crow just like morrow is

[umbral shale]

that one time i defended morrow's design as "one of his kind, a unique among the lightbearers"

i feel like a clown now

guess it's time lbs are too weak the only way for them to be relevant again is to borrow the power of dark magic

[coral zodiac]

Tonyy said this about Morrow some time ago

I forgot to share it here lol, sorry

[umbral shale]

so we have lbs that use dark magic
mauler that comes from wilder
wilder that use fire
guess in the future there will be gb that grows tree and heal everyone with life essence

[coral zodiac]

fhsrtgrsfedas

[vale grove]

afshjklashdgfs I'm waiting for that now

[lament meadow]

lmao

[silk widget]

Well. Just wait for a kind hypo or a fallen celestial. It's bound to happen sooner or later

[lament meadow]

please i would love to see that

yall are talking about this like its a bad thing

[silk widget]

Nah. We are all excited for things like that

[dark heath]

I'm actually curious how an awakened Hypo look like and how would he/she reach that level.

If I'd focus on the lore I'd definitely see awakening those Hypogeans who are pretty much focusing on growing, consuming energy/power. Such as Mezoth or Framton, in some way.

He actually destroyed the remained Obsidian Finches, so I think with keep feeding from the flames, it'd be actually a possible way for him to awaken.

[silk widget]

Awakened mezoth would go on a diet and become more handsome

[dark heath]

(And in the comic Talene actually said, after Framton vanished, that they should start to train harder)

[dark heath]

Don't be so rude, he is already handsome.

Big chonk.

He was actually my first ascended Hypo.

[silk widget]

the more the better. Isnt it

[dark heath]

[lament meadow]

ur just jealous bc hes thicc/strong as hell and ur not /j

besides you cant improve perfection

[nova widget]

Nonsense, Awakened Mezoth would just be more chonk with more mouths. Every hole is a mouth, every joint and the fat rolls out like a beautiful blob ready to consume the world.

[vale grove]

He's cute, I'll pat him if I meet him

[dark heath]

And more tongue

[lament meadow]

oh lord

[nova widget]

More tongues means more heroes to lick and love.

[dark heath]

Sounds busted to me

[lament meadow]

damn yall need to calm down

[dark heath]

We are all calm, we just giving love to this living chonk

[lament meadow]

well yeah but yall be thirsty

i love the chonk too dw

[dark heath]

Actually, I'd be happy to see an awakened Framton, as first Hypo.
This Talene vs Framton story is going for a while now, and the comic seemingly is not over yet.

[lament meadow]

unstoppable force vs immovable object

[dark heath]

💯 🔥

Seems like a neverending story to me

[vale grove]

would be cool, but I think it will not come soon, he's too new

[dark heath]

Agreed. This is my only fear, logically it'd come perfectly smooth, but he is just got released, so people would go for his ascended version over the SG one.

But if the comic continues and he'll appear, I'll be already satisfied. That story line is very interesting.

[vale grove]

yeap yeap

[quiet tinsel]

Wait, is it confirmed then that morrow is the leader of dark society of crow? Because it sure sounds like he is.

[vale grove]

there was a post sometime ago that talked about it

let me search it

there

it has 2 slides

[quiet tinsel]

It doesn't give a clear answer to that, unless I'm missing something

[vale grove]

THERE

Tonyy said it

[quiet tinsel]

Yeah it really sounds here like he is

Which i sorta suspected already considering his title

Can't wait for more characters tied to the dark society

And preferably some lore or even a comic

perhaps exclusively for more morrow content

[coral zodiac]

There is a pinned message in #classic-chat that would interest us

it's about survey about the content we like/would like to see in social media

[quiet tinsel]

lorelorelorelore

[coral zodiac]

same

I marked the art/lore ones lol

[vale grove]

the skin one is a dream

[quiet tinsel]

it really is

[vale grove]

I have one of Thane done even with lore and one of Baden in progress I'm just lazy cause it takes a lot of energy to immitate splash art style

[barren haven]

Yo the skin/boss thing sounds AMAZING

[vale grove]

YEAH

[trail kite]

true

[dark heath]

Thank you! I totally missed this. Lets go.

[sturdy nova]

classic

[sturdy nova]

love those kinds of non geneic designs personally, we need a wilder rage machine too!!

[sturdy nova]

baba yaga lore would be the best thing to happen to this game

[lament meadow]

i dont doubt it but im also curious as to why youd think that

[sturdy nova]

👉 👈 because i'm personally so pumped and intrigued? also because i was on the brink of making a baba yaga wilder oc

other than that she'd really have a really cool story to fit in with the whole esperia, and how she came in here, her interactions with other heroes who seek her out is what i hope will make debut in comics and continue to be a biiig thread

rowan seeking hher out for riches (new event and skin) is my current thought of tying her in with easeee

else, we already know a whole lot of characters have ulterior motives and desires unfulfilled, she'll love to be in esperia for that too

[quiet tinsel]

I was on the brink of making a dark crow society oc with flaming red hair using fire to fight, and naming her Red but then Scarlett happened 👀

Nonetheless I'm really excited for baba yaga

It's a really fresh concept

Can't wait to see how it plays out

[spice mulch]

Scarlet met Isabella and Silvina

[rustic copper]

They were in children house after meet with vedan?

[spice mulch]

Looks like it

They all escaped the orphanage

[coral zodiac]

Sooooo...maybe Scarlet was too in the Violet Orphanage as Morrow

[rustic copper]

Yes. Orphanage is dark crow agency

[coral zodiac]

Oh wait, so the dark society of the crow is the same as the violet orphanage?

I should re-read some things, I forget

[spice mulch]

She was in the orphanage with Silvina and Isabella

[spice mulch]

Howl's moving cabin

[ornate talon]

You mean like Baba Yaga's cabin??

I want to believeee

[vapid musk]

Baba Yaga and her Izbushka
Well it would be fun
Now I really curious if lilith make her ugly or gorgeous

[dark heath]

New hero
Cabin In The Woods
Dimensional

[ornate talon]

Yes

[agile tartan]

so he creating new lbs?

and oden and isabella are involved in this?

[silk widget]

New lb? There is no new lb. They are just lb who use magic originated from dark star realm instead of dura's holy light

Oden is just one of the bunch who studied dark magic and got executed for doing that. Jfyi, he did not study necromancy as the eng lore stated

Isabella was kidnapped and became a experimental subject of dark magic study just like morrow and scarlett were

[agile tartan]

ohh

so

morrow isn't the one responsible for this?

and it's oden and others?

[quiet tinsel]

oh the orphanage is destroyed. good

[coral zodiac]

yes

[quiet tinsel]

morrow is pretty young, it's likely that his stay in the orphanage somewhat overlapped with scarlett's

[agile tartan]

i see

interesting

[quiet tinsel]

in his lore he's implied to be somewhat over 20

[quiet tinsel]

tbh i feel like is scarlett didnt do it, morrow would at some point

[agile tartan]

i could see that

[quiet tinsel]

man seems really pissed at things

[coral zodiac]

yeap

[coral zodiac]

could be, yep

[quiet tinsel]

I wonder what happened to the other children in the orphanage, whether Scarlett burned them down alongside the orphanage or if they were actually rescued

Mega 3-chapter update for "Legends of Esperia: The Silent Blade"!

Searching for Baden, Thane confronted the power of Graveborn dark magic for the first time. Stealthy and manipulative - how would the Graveborns shape the power struggle?

This is an interest info

👀

[trail kite]

my fave

He save Thane...and protect him

[rustic copper]

Thane wields the lotus blade, but still remains a toothpick.

[rustic copper]

does anyone here have questions about why Morrow and Scarlet are lightbearers?

[vale grove]

No, why?

[quiet tinsel]

Nope they're prefect

We forgetting that the term lightbearers refers to people made of dura's light, doesn't matter how they dress and what kinda magic they do

So there should be some natural variety

[coral zodiac]

It's like the graveborn that doesn't want to be gb, likre Treznor. Although they dress similar, they could just go apeshit and dress different(?)

[quiet tinsel]

People seem to have the idea that lb = priests

Idk

[vale grove]

seems cool to see characters like Morrow and Scarlet tbh

[trail kite]

I love that kind of character

[quiet tinsel]

I'm the first one to stan the edgebearers

[trail kite]

When characters break the mold of the faction

[vapid musk]

Well, I always thought that there must to be lb with dark magic at least because of Fawkes story

[rustic copper]

clear. so many have not yet understood.
The lightbearers is a generalized name for the inhabitants of one particular country-the lightbearers empire .
all the lightbearera live in this country. and this name applies only to them.
for example, the inhabitants of the Bantus Empire, before the murder of Thoran, were people, but not lightbearers.
Gai and Haelus were human beings before the explosion in the workshop. but Luther is the first lightbearer, appeared much later than them

[sturdy nova]

we need moreeeeeee of such non-stereotypical characters please!!

[sturdy nova]

didn't read the lore yet, but didn't she help isa escape?

[quiet tinsel]

yeah but there's bound to be other children in there, considering that isa was #94

[spring wharf]

what im confused about is why are there two Talene's can someone explain?

[heavy bramble]

One is normal and the other is awakened from Astar i think.

[rustic copper]

Who is treat of current wonderful journey? I think it's gouldos,but it cannot be. that would mean Talena had awakened BEFORE Khazard's betrayal. but Khazard has already been destroyed, since Seyrus exists. and either the threat is in something else, or Talena's awakening, Khazard's betrayal and his death at the hands of respen are separated by a minimum period of time.

[crystal tapir]

There's Talene, and then there's Super Saiyan Talene. They're both the same person, it's just that one is using plot convenience and a very expensive new game mechanic.

(I'm not fond of Awakening, if you couldn't tell.)

Speaking of which, though, what do you think the other heroes might do, especially the non-supernatural ones?

I'm betting at least one Awakened character is going to be a different faction than the original. (e.g. Awakened Izold as a Lightbearer in his glory days, Awakened Khazard as a Wilder pre-betrayal, Awakened Morrow as a Hypogean if his captive gets the better of him, etc.)

[crystal tapir]

...

...wasn't Safiya hired to KILL Vurk? They seem to be getting along awfully well for an assassin and her target.

I guess her partnership with Ankhira isn't quite as ironclad as I thought.

[dark heath]

My boys' wasn't too friendly with each other.

After this, Zikis went to drink a ☕ and Fram was like: Hope you ☠️ .

[rustic copper]

As far as I've heard, demons weren't even considered as candidates for awakening.
and Morrow would rather be a graveborn.

[dark heath]

It'd certainly mean that no Hypo would get awakening

Which seems pretty unlikely.

Awakening carries different meaning. Like awakening a different level of power which is hidden. I'm not sure where the idea came from.

[trail kite]

awakened heroes are connected to the lore for me, like the next part of the normal ver heroes's lore

[quiet tinsel]

i think they confirmed they will remain the same faction always

[dark heath]

It definitely is, and would seem quite logical.

(This is actually something I really like about AFK arena, that lore actually matter)
But I really hope that we'll see awakened Hypogeans. In the Chapter, after defeating Framton Talene actually said, after seeing that he vanished, that they should train more harder. Probably expecting him to return, even stronger (but that is just a guess).

I think from Hypogean side, the more power greedy individuals could reach a form of awakening, which is logical. While some reach higher power / awakening because of positive goals (protecting others = love) there are beings who more self-centered and power greedy, and it can pay out.

Framton slaughtered the rest of the Obsidian Finches, if they were considered as powerful beings, and considering how many type of fire he consumed, he must grow stronger, and he kept searched for the Solaris Flame. He actually consumed at least one.

[silk widget]

Seeing as how they been making comic for bade thane lores, i think they might be doing an awaken thane or baden soon

[dark heath]

The Talene comic isn't ended yet neither as far as I see. I think they probably prepare some line for awakenings.

[quiet tinsel]

Awakened Morrow comic when?

[dark heath]

Will you keep all of the Time Emblems you have for him too? - I wonder.

[vale grove]

I'll keep them for Baden

[dark heath]

Well lets hope we all gonna have our crushes as awakening

[trail kite]

I still hoard those time emblems

[quiet tinsel]

I certainly will unless something really unexpected happens

[trail kite]

Baden maybe a good awakened heroes
Imagine he free himself from the control but this time he succeeded

[dark heath]

Yes me too but I have only ~160 right now.

[quiet tinsel]

That's like twice as much as me lmao

But i don't trade cards

[trail kite]

90 of them now

[dark heath]

Understandable Semi.
If you have hero you want to get then you are free to go for SG cards.

I should complete some must-have hero from Cele section but I am too picky to do that. Not like if my whole AFK Arena existence wouldn't be about having my favorites and not those who are useful.

[quiet tinsel]

If we could get ANY hero from scamgazer2.0 i would trade them like mad

And i need some hypogeans tbh

Still don't have a lucretia or mehira or even ezizh done

[trail kite]

I need Framton now...

[dark heath]

As for Luc or Meh I'm doing sh!t with them too, don't worry.

[quiet tinsel]

Instead I'm getting mortas to ascended +1 so i can engrave him

[dark heath]

My Cele even worst. But I think, we starting to get far from the lore topic so I'd stop it here, sorry for the off.

[quiet tinsel]

Pls

[dark heath]

Khaz is basically one of those characters I really like lore-base.

[quiet tinsel]

Khazard was my second love of the game

So of course i spent all my dianonds to ascend him

[dark heath]

Same story with Mezoth, Zaphrael, Zik and Fram here.
I mean basically Zaphrael was the first one for truly his lore. It's probably an unpopular opinion but I totally understand him and I think he had a harder time than what Luc actually.

[coral zodiac]

I have Zaph ascended too tbh 😂

I like his design tbh

[vale grove]

In cn lore he's free :>

[vale grove]

[coral zodiac]

Me with Orthros, Leofric and now with Haelus

[dark heath]

I immediately went to ascend him too

But that was non-p2w rush.

For Fram and Zikis, I P2W them both.

And I still doing Fram's 2nd engrave.

And he will be probably my first 5* hypo.

[coral zodiac]

I did a deal with Jin when Luc and Zaph come out lol. She would ascend Luc and me Zaph.

[vale grove]

I just did mine M+

[coral zodiac]

So the other would be able to merc it lol
