Round Table of Arkain

[Leo Akastenix]

Be patient... our crusader is probably launching another crusade... let him do that for now...

Be patient... our crusader is probably launching another crusade... let him do that for now...

I'd just wish he'd let us know how the progress is going, or at least tell us if its halted, I can understand why some people get restless when they are told that they'll be an update on a certain day and the update is over 3 weeks late with no news at all.

 

[DevZ]

i completely agree

 

[ArchDuke]

@DevZ It just takes time to make, Im sure therell be an update and a new mission within a week or so

 

[DevZ]

I hope ur right. but in the past I created wc maps and unless they are of some kind of superior quality (like the chosen ones or that campaign by arnexis) there is no way a map will take longer than a month to create, even if you put around 30 minutes daily into the process you will have completed a map more or less within that frame of time.

How would you feel if you were a fan and were told by the author that the next mission is coming within a few weeks(even told a specific date) and then after these few weeks almost a month passes, no mission, no updates, nothing.

There's been multiple instances of the site rules being completely ignored by some here. I won't name any users in particular, and some have already been privately warned, but this is a public warning to everyone. Future violations will result in infractions, and if they accumulate enough, they result in bans. Obviously rule breaking posts will be deleted, as they have been before.

Please stay on topic. Respect the site rules, the thread creator, other fans, etc.

 

[dukewayne]

I had to create an account just to reply to some of you people here. Yes it was stated there will be a release... Yes its not released to date. Why in hell are you bitching about it for. WE ALL LOVE THIS SERIES.

Did u ever consider that something might have happened in real life to the creator? OFC NOT you just bitch and whine about why its not out yet. If you're gonna do that you might as well make your own right? its easy right? under a month right? so please make one that matches this or make one that surpasses this one.

Stop whining you damm idiots! It was this whining and bitching that caused this series to be cancelled in the first place, do NOT let it repeat again.

Be patient when he has the time to do it he WILL!

 

[Theoden of KoMe]

Dude i made the first post in thise thread and never but never said that i dont follow this
I actually look at it every day and all i see is random guys crying for RedCrusader (Shar) that he hasn't updated the thread yet.
Just be patient guys he has a life too and thats the main reason i canceled the Shards of the Alliance campaign cause i got too much reading to do for the univercity.
Be patient as dukewayne said

 

[Lord Siler]

complaining wont change anything, but one update will stop all the complaining...people like to be in the know

 

[Lord Siler]

This would've benefited him more than anyone else, as people would not complain about the expected chapter release if they saw an update explaining the situation.

 

[Lord Siler]

Our favorite crusader has been spotted once again

 

[DevZ]

Arkain = Ukraine

so many similarities....

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

Around 15 posts were deleted for being completely off-topic and for trolling. Thanks for some of you guys at least trying to help. This thread is about the campaign series. Not about excessively arguing about the author or other players. Warning infraction(s) were already given to those who continued to break the site rules. More of these infractions will lead to bans.

RedCrusader has requested the thread be locked and so it has.

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

Re-opened under author's request

EDIT: Stick to the god damn rules. The staff is not afraid to warn, punish, and ban.

 

[Shar Dundred]

!GRAND REOPENING!

I will update the first post within the next minutes.

Before we start, I want to let you know this:
I used to tolerate off topic things like pictures or videos that had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
to do with the project.
That is no longer the case.

For those of you who are wondering:
The campaign has been removed from the Map Section until its full release.
The demo never should have been approved in the first place since it is a demo.
The campaign will be attached to the first post, it will return to the Map Section after the
full release.

From now on, this thread shall be used again to discuss Arkain matters.
Especially since the Second Human Book was a weird place to discuss events of the Orc or Undead
Book - I understand, there simply was no other place to go to, that's just another reason for
the reopening.

Anyway, let's get to the juicy stuff now!
It is time for another Arkain Question Time!

Just send me questions about the project via private message/conversation.
I will gather those questions until the end of the month and then make a post here with the questions
and their replies - including both non-spoilers and spoilers. No big spoilers, still.
Keep in mind that more serious questions are more likely to get into the post.

Enjoy!

Alright. My apologies if I went off topic on some replies. It was not my intention.

Good to know! I was kind of scared when I couldn't enter the thread.

 

[Kasrkin]

It's good to be back in the old house.

 

[Shar Dundred]

Oh, that was not directed at you or anything that happened in the Map thread recently,
it was mostly related at the things that happened here in this thread that also led to me
requesting it to be closed (again).

It's good to be back in the old house.

IKR?!

 

[DD Mikasa]

Ayyyyyy road to 1000 pages here we go!!!

 

[LISBOAH]

Ayyyyyy road to 1000 pages here we go!!!

Yep. 100 pages with just the first three books. Let's see if we can reach 1000

 

[Boriss]

When Shar mentioned we are gonna hate the chapter 9... maybe we´re gonna ally with van Douche. That would spit some hate

 

[DD Mikasa]

When Shar mentioned we are gonna hate the chapter 9... maybe we´re gonna ally with van Douche. That would spit some hate

Or maybe (seeing how the masses have reacted to Tyrant) he'll make us listen to his bars all through chapter 9,which its fine by me .

 

[LISBOAH]

When Shar mentioned we are gonna hate the chapter 9... maybe we´re gonna ally with van Douche. That would spit some hate

No no no no no no no...No way! Allying with that guy? I would rather ally with the demons!

Hmm... Aedale hasn't showed up for a long time and she seems to be one to hold a grudge, especially against her father.

 

[DD Mikasa]

Hmm... Aedale hasn't showed up for a long time and she seems to be one to hold a grudge, especially against her father.

Its about time she'll make a comback,I mean Gardon and the boys took all first 7 chapters,it would be only fiting that she takes the spotlight now,after all she is growing into a really interesting character,I wonder what will happened to her

 

[Championfighter25]

No no no no no no no...No way! Allying with that guy? I would rather ally with the demons!

Sometimes you must ally with your biggest enemy if you both want to make it out alive.I know Gardon wants van Durce dead,but im just saying

Its about time she'll make a comback,I mean Gardon and the boys took all first 7 chapters,it would be only fiting that she takes the spotlight now,after all she is growing into a really interesting character,I wonder what will happened to her

Yes she is turning into an interesting character.After she consumed the first shard Rahandir automatically wanted to eliminate her,but Aridon was against it.I wonder if Aedale has the power to defeat Rahandir now.

 

[LISBOAH]

Blen, the guy she had a crush for, is dead but not before practically calling her a monster. Her sister abandoned her. Her father is Tyrant, and that says everything. I don't think she will willingly return to the "light", now that she is practically brainwashed by Lisara and enjoying the power she now has.

 

[DD Mikasa]

They could make a perfecet love-hate couple(no homo) kinda like Deadpool and Cable.They dont like each other but they are stuck together,EVEN tho seeing how things have gone i have scraped that idea totally from my book.

@LISBOAH
I would not say totally brainwashed remember she has smth to prove to herself and the world,after all she had issues growing as a kid always beeing the weak one,She might be the one using Lisara after all dont just count her out

 

[LISBOAH]

I think Shar said a long time ago that Lisara warped her memories about her father making him sound more abusive and condescending (if that is even possible), increasing her hatred and resentment.

Aedale and Lisara are more like a evil duo, two partners working together. Aedale has the body and Lisara the power.

 

[Championfighter25]

now that she is practically brainwashed by Lisara and enjoying the power she now has.

She is sort of brainwashed if you take both the shard and artifact in the first book.If you don't take them,she will just be a woman who wants to prove herself,but not knowing the consequences!

That is true Lisara makes peoples memories be a lot worse than they were.It's her way of manipulation
Aedale and Lisara=Batman and Robin

 

[LISBOAH]

I still think that even if we don't absorb the shard and the artifact, Aedale gets corrupted by Largoth and Lisara. The only difference, I guess, is that she will be weaker.

 

[Shar Dundred]

Gardon and Renald van Durce, High Lord of the Imperial Court, Lord Inquisitor of the Order of the Righteous,
Lord Consultant of the Emperor, General of the Golden Guard and new commander of all Imperial forces on
this continent would never join forces again.

 

[DD Mikasa]

@LISBOAH
What iam trying to say is that,With time Lisara powers might fade away/scumb to the growing power of Aedale after all it was said that SHE HAD GREAT POTENTIAL,Sooner or later she might be a Leader not a pawn anymore.
Besides if Lisara was that strong how did she get sealed in the first place.I think her power will go away in time and Aedale will be the dominant entity that (of both body and mind )

@Shar Dundred You REALLY had to...

 

[Championfighter25]

Renald van Durce, High Lord of the Imperial Court

Brian should take his place after his death.It will be fitting!Since he was a high-ranking member of the emperors court.

Lisara was most likely sealed by either a powerful demon or Aridon. With her body sealed, she needed a host and Aedale provided it. In return, Aedale has access to Lisara's powers.

Aedale might have great potential, but she is still just a human (no, I am not being racist). Lisara was once a high-ranking member of the Demon Legions with most likely hundreds of years of experience. The chances of Aedale's power surpassing Lisara's are very low.

 

[DD Mikasa]

@LISBOAH
We are talking about the same legion that has not discovered it yet that they have a undead spy in THEIR HIGHEST of Ranks.If Aridon acknowleged Adales potential that in my book she can take over sooner or later Lisara,Hell from all i know she might just be playing along to gather more power and then ditch Lisara.In my book Lisara is more of a "ploter" than a really powerfull demon.Her power lies in her ability to Charm,sadly i dont think what she has in between her legs can charm Aedale that much.I still think Aedale will grow in some type of independet,very powerfull,very power hungry charater that with time will have to be put down,thats my guess.

Aedale may become a half-demon(that would be intersting).
Lisara was a master assasin of the souleater legion to be precise.Now she wants revenge,because Ebira took her place.
Lisara may use Aedale as her vessel to get reborn.That is very likely!

@DD Mikasa She could have already been put down if Aridon wasn't such an idiot to decline Rahandir's offer to kill her.What was the watcher thinking?That a slave bound to his own power can help him?For his all knowingness he sometimes doesn't think straight.

 

[Shar Dundred]

Unless of course that was part of his plan.

The thing about Aridon is that he had a plan for everything centuries before the mortal participants
of this conflict had even been born.

Then again, considering what happened to him...

 

[LISBOAH]

@DD Mikasa She could have already been put down if Aridon wasn't such an idiot to decline Rahandir's offer to kill her.What was the watcher thinking?

It is actually easy. Aedale is power hungry and has shown that she will do anything to obtain more, including allying with demons and betraying her friends. No one no longer trusts her, and she is so blind by greed that she will inevitably cross some certain of line that will make her a target to everyone and end up being killed. Or, a much more rare probability, she realizes that she has turned into a monster and kills herself.

 

[Morris]

No questions on.my mind now.and.either way I like to be surprised which you always do successfully.
I just finished the new chapter on.the demo and it was good
I didn't encounter bugs in my two walkthroughs and loved the characters development.
However I'm replaying chapter 7 right now, I can't skip the intro cinematic.for.some reason.
Is it just me or.the new.update caused a glitch of some sort.
Keep up the good work shar

Why do i feel like Gardon may spare her even when everyone else wants to kill her and keep her on a short leash?He said it himself in chapter 2.

 

[DD Mikasa]

@Championfighter25 You still dont get my point.I am trying to say Aedale wants to be HERSELF THE MASTER ,Now lemme think who can you subdue much more faster and still get what you want?A man that once was worshiped as a GOD! or some Low tier has been "Assasin leader" that got slaped hard and now it has to suck up to Aedale to just simply have a hope of walking the earth again? You be the judge.
In Rahandirs case she would have been just one of Adrions henchman smth that she does not want,She clearly is obssesed with power peeps like that are like dem Primal Zergs of SCII "No allegiance but to self"

 

[YetAnotherYoutuber]

tired, lazy to check myself - where do i download the new version now?

 

[LISBOAH]

Gardon might be many things but he is not stupid. There is no point in keeping a powerful (perharps stronger than him), insane and power-hungry mage sharing her body with a powerful demon in his ranks. Aedale by this point no longer cares about who is winning the war. She might join one side but just for the promise of more power but once the war is over she will leave or even kill her "allies" once they are no longer useful.

I know he is not stupid,but for him the end justifies the means.It doesn't matter for him,he may try to use her and kill her if she doesn't obey,but even after she is dead he may examine her corrupted body to enchant his own powers,he won't be that dumb however to corrupt himself with it.I know im taking it into extreme territory,but this is my opinion.

Spoiler

this became way too deep

True, he is known for doing extreme things, but I don't think he would risk to do something that could bite him in the ass in the road ahead. He allied with the undead, but because they had a common enemy, and kept them under watch. People only concerned about greed are the worst to be controlled, in my opinion.

Lord Brian might keep Aedale on the leash, but having only one person capable of doing so is highly risky as Lisara can find a way to outsmart him. And Aedale might be capable of corrupting others, turning Gardon's men into her own army of brainwashed puppets.

He is already a big risk taker by getting so many allies that aren't 100% trustworthy.The undead may betray him once he is no longer in they're plans,this depends on what you chose,but the kajon marauders and Scarlet Retka may betray him once someone more powerful than him offers them a place under his wing,somehow i think Brian is keeping secrets that Gardon should know.Seriously this line in chapter 5 raises too much suspicion:
''I cannot tell you everything,Gardon.At least not yet,it is...too soon.However,i can tell you this.This is more about you,van Durce or even the emperor.The empire is being abused by a dark entity of great power-and only you can stop it by continuing your path.''
Just tell him already,he should know what he is going to face!

The undead offered to ally with Gardon only temporarily. While he didn't trust them, Gardon knew that they wouldn't betray him, as Sapphira wanted to kill the Queen so why should she betray him before that happened?

Scarlet Retka had good reasons to join Gardon. The Golden Guard manipulated her brother to start a rebellion and later sent Gardon to kill him. Her grudge is directed to van Durce, not Gardon as she sees the latter as a puppet like her.

somehow i think Brian is keeping secrets that Gardon should know.Seriously this line raises too much suspicion:
''I cannot tell you everything,Gardon.At least not yet,it is...too soon.However,i can tell you this.This is more about you,van Durce or even the emperor.The empire is being abused by a dark entity of great power-and only you can stop it by continuing your path.''
Just tell him already,he should know what he is going to face!

Yeah, Brian is being too secretive, but I guess van Durce is the primary threat now and there is no point in having Gardon focused on two enemies at the same time.

 

[Championfighter25]

The Golden Guard manipulated her brother to start a rebellion and later sent Gardon to kill him.

And i wonder why didn't van Durce just kill him at the 1 million opportunities he had?Has he scared the emperor would find out,even though he ordered the assasination?
How many people did he send to there death with this rebellion?

van Durce is the primary threat now

You know you are a big threat when even the undead mention you before the demons as there primary enemy.Man did he fuck up so bad.
