With tact and grace.
On a serious note, I am of course aware of this turning the race into a freakshow on
the first glance (probably second and third as well), but give it time and see.
You might be pleasantly surprised.
Ladies and gentlemen, ghouls and geists, demons and terrors welcome to another edition of Arkain News Network. Today we have a special announcement! A PARTIAL explanation of the new Orc roster, as many of our dear listeners know the Orc species was dealt an almost overwhelming blow to their numbers at the end of every book including the Orc book. So, our dear Greenskin Mariners lately have had to look for new ways to stay a major player in the world of Arkain. That means new alliances and of course dear listener that means our new roster!
Orcs, Of course the green terrors make their return but with new units that show an adaption for the war of survival they find themselves in.
Dark Trolls, with the scattering of the Forest Troll tribes a new type of troll takes its steps onto the pages of history.
Gnolls, the dog men of the forest have come to the frontline to clash with the best of the best.
Goblins, technological monstrosities abound with the short greenskins, be wary.
Golems.... Well Golems
Centaurs, joining the greenskins we have the race of living cavalry, all shall fear the sound of the Khans' best.
Bearmen, be wary they will tear you apart.
Harpies, fear the skies for the winged annoyance has become a terror of the battlefield.
Dragons, dragons.
And perhaps one more of your own choice.
Are each of these races going to get their own leaders/characters?
If i had to add another race that aren't on the list, and maybe "re-name" them, it would have to be giants (ogres), minotaurs (taurens), murlocs, sofelons (draenei (the lost ones we see in the WC3 campaing)), satyrs and draketaurs (dragonspawns/dragons).
I know we can't have all of them, but these are just some i think would be fun to have in the mix
Progress report:
Work on the Interlude is going VERY well, I expect it to be released either today or tomorrow.
It will include some pretty interesting information for all of you.
Among other things, you will learn what Gardon was doing near the Derryn outpost back then.
Remember that?
That was why i said "RE-name" so they might be able to fit into the story better, hence why i called the draenei for sofelons and dragonspawns for draketaurs, taurens for minotaurs and so on, you know change the name a little bit, so it MIGHT be able to fit in the arkain worldI don't think there are tauren, satyrs, draenei or dragonspawn in the Arkain universe.

neither had goblins, centaurs or harpies and they're stated to make an appearence, so why not the others? besides it was only a suggestion after all, nothing seriousWhat I meant is that there is highly unprobable that there are creatures similar to them in Arkain. For now, none has showed up.

Im sure we will be asking ourselves what is love after chapter 9 and completely forget about this interludeSo, the love is coming sooner than expected. Will the interlude reflect some or our choices made throughout the human books?
Im sure we will be asking ourselves what is love after chapter 9 and completely forget about this interlude
Interlude about love was moved in between 8th and 9th chapter. So there is still hope for us
What are you talking about?I mean yeah we may feel friendship,good will,happiness,kindness,liking,pleasure,sympathy,admiration,approval,blessiing,delight,fondness,honour,like,praise,regard and respect,but i don't think we will see any love in it
Chapter Nine will make you forget all love from this Interlude and replace it with hate, loath, contempt...
Speaking of the love, no elves in this interlude!

Edit for Shar: I only hate the orcs because they are such hyppocrites. They murder human women and children without second thought yet killing their women and children by humans is unforgivable crime. Other than that I understand Rangul´s crusade for united orc "nation". But their speech of honour is.... just a hyppocrite that one.
That is more like Moral Myopia: they kill others and it is alright, others do the same to them and they see it as wrong. However I agree with you. That is the main reason I hate the orcs too. The humans have their flaws too, but they don't destroy orc towns just for fun. That is my opinion.
The gate that unleashes the 1 million demons upon you in chapter 6 of the first human book have mercy on you Shar!Your betrayal has broken Boriss's hearth,he has supported your campaign and this is how you repay his loyalty?Speaking of the love, no elves in this interlude!
They destroy them,because they think they are too dangerous to be left alive,that is the reason Blen nearly annihilated the darkmind clan in the first book.At least that's my opinion.The humans have their flaws too, but they don't destroy orc towns just for fun.
Yeah, like Gardon. Sacrificing entire village for his blood shield Orc book, siege of Kome, Zairmak mentions it.

What is going to happen with Woodhunter? Gardon's generals did suggest a marrige so he could be lord over the elves in case Woodhunter died. But if it's not Woodhunter who's going to get married, then who is it?

Gardon is gonna marry an unknown girl. We know its not Salana, its not Larine, its not daughter of king of Kerrel. Its probably also not Aedale, but it might be one of her sisters. Marrying into that family would gain him terrible influence within the imperial circles.
Let's just say that it won't be any of her sisters too.Duke Volarian won't allow a ''outcast'' of the empire to marry into his family.He is going to lose all privileges from the empire,be called a traitor and regret it forever.Imagine if Sir Edoarus has a family member that is a princess or a high ranking political kingdom member and Gardon marries her.Man would that be awkward.
Yeah i have a old theory about how manipulative he is.It's so stupid and makes no sense,but it is sort of funny tooWe shall see tomorrow. That interlude has us conspiring like its UFO on the sky. Damn that Shar, so manipulative
You mean you weren't the only one?Awww. Poor girls. So many wish ill for their love :-(
I am one hell of a cruel genius, you know.The gate that unleashes the 1 million demons upon you in chapter 6 of the first human book have mercy on you Shar!Your betrayal has broken Boriss's hearth,he has supported your campaign and this is how you repay his loyalty?
You mean you weren't the only one?

The Interlude will answer many of your questions... In time... :>
Don't worry im sure that this interlude will be a complete blender with a good mixing.On the contrary, I seem to be the only one who wishes for their love to bloom
I am soooo eager to see that interlude. Shaking like mixer here
@ Breaking News @
This dear reporter failed to mention one of the races joining our erstwhile Mariners, that is right there is one more and it is one many of you are familiar with!
Ogres, the terrifying half giants pushed further and further into the forgotten places of the world have come to crush all opposition.
They say that after this Shar shouted directly in his face for 8 hours and since we know we can hear him shout from 1000 doors and get heard that must have been painful for Kasrkin to indure.Too much flirting with that elf reporter girl that never emerged from arkain industries. Oh Kasrkin, you naughty boy.
Damn, I've struggled enough with QWER for heroes now units too. I already feel the hate rising in my guts even without chapter nine. But do we really need to have QWER building hotkeys? I for one dont see any need for that.Version 0.51 released!
General:
- Several changes to the Pride of Humanity unit, similar to the changes that had been made for Destructors
- QWER for all abilities, units, buildings and upgrades
Interlude Three:
- Released
Edit: There is currently an issue with the QWER for buildings because keyboards are assholes.
Will fix that with the next update.

The plot thickens! Shar, you really know how to create plot twists and big reveals! Well done! Bravo! CLAP CLAP!
Were you planning this reveal when you started the first book or did you make it recently?
So Gardon now has two kingdoms, the elves, Brian, Vail and Black Dragons on his side? This is getting interesting, let me rephrase that, this was interesting from the beginning but it is getting more interesting!!
Is Thanok the dragon ambassador?
I believe its the cave where her Redfist daddy is
