Ladies and gentlemen,

the time has come to meet the Golden Guard again.

Praxeus and his companions have not been able to recover the grail from Salria and are now on
their way back to meet with Praxeus' brothers and sisters in arms.
But not everything is as it seems to be...

Be prepared to meet a surprise or two... And to face your ultimate challenge...

You can find the new version here in Downloads.

Ladies and gentlemen,

vermin had found its way into the release version.
Do not fret however, the bug has just been terminated.

A new version has been uploaded without that despicable vermin creature.

My apologies for the inconvinience, enjoy!

Ladies and gentlemen,

this post contains spoilers regarding the most recent release. If you have not played it
as of yet, stop reading right now and go play it!

As for the rest of you:
I hope you all enjoyed the latest release!
Some of you have already shared their thoughts in the New Content Discussion [SPOILER] thread.
I invite all of you who have not as of yet to do so now.
It is a rather... eventful chapter after all!

I would also like to use this opportunity to talk a bit about the future:
I have by no means revealed all paths that will be a part of Legacy of Arkain but today I would
like to talk about one of them - the Path of the Nameless!
The Prelude of Legacy of Arkain is nearing its conclusion. We are not there yet but we are getting close!
It should therefore be little surprise that Veln's journey is not over but is just beginning.

And this journey will very much depend on your choices as players.
Not every path will offer the same amout of choices but for this path there are several roads you can take.
Do you want to embrace the past? Or will Veln continue being "Veln"?
You will get to experience these "roads" as the Path of the Nameless releases.

Speaking of Veln, there seem to be some misconceptions regarding his identity that I would like to clear up.
I am not going to reveal who he is at this moment in time, this is just a little fact that seems to not have been
communicated well enough for everyone.
When Praxeus and his companions found Veln, Veln did not wear his mask. It was made for him by a blacksmith
AFTER they found and helped him. That means his race, human, and his gender, male, are set in stone.
This is a small fact more than anything, most people so far have believed him to be human anyway, I just wanted
to clarify this fact for people who might have been unaware of Veln's place in the Legacy Character Sheet.

I hope this post has served to somewhat increase the "hunger" for what the future holds - I for one am looking
forward to it.

Stay tuned for further updates!
