What if he is in scream all time ? As like he turned himself into the blen. Maybe he is brain . You might think that is imposible but it is unknow who can recognize dredlord in humans or not humans forms.

I think Gardon would notice that his mentor Brian had been replaced. Plus, the powers Brian possess are unique and a dreadlord couldn't replicate them.

Plus, the powers Brian possess are unique and a dreadlord couldn't replicate them.

Especially since he got them from a now deceaced shadow god.

Largot are not in any legion , why ? maybe becouse he might betray demons god and work with shadow god and be gardons teacher all the time and Brian was example because he could be anyone

 

[LISBOAH]

Check the short story regarding Aridon. Both the demon and shadow gods are dead. Aridon gathered shards of the shadow god and Brian apparently stole it.

 

[Championfighter25]

Largot are not in any legion , why ?

Because he doesn't want to be in any legion. He's just a renegade.

maybe becouse he might betray demons god

The demon god has been dead for maybe millions of years at this point. And i don't think Largoth existed at that point.

and work with shadow god

The shadow god also died a long time ago.

Brian was example because he could be anyone

Brian can't be anyone, the only time he changes appearances is during his ultimate. Maybe he can make his shadows look like anyone, but that's different.

I know that they are dead but he might do it before because demon god made demons and he must be alive to do it

 

[vinco]

Because he doesn't want to be in any legion. He's just a renegade.

I think there will be reason

 

[vinco]

Demon god made demons and we do not know how dreadlord reproduce themself so you can not refute if he was exist at that point

I mean largot may be anyone not Brian

 

[LISBOAH]

Not exactly. The demon god created the demons and after he died the demons kept living as a race and reproduced. At least this is my opinion, I am still unsure how demons reproduce, but I am more than certain that they don't require the demon god to increase their numbers.

I thing it to but still there is chance that largot live before demon god died

 

[lesnarpower12]

Is it possible that the demon and shadow gods are still alive ?? Since you know almost every mysterious character was supposed to be dead but it's not ( like brian and that god damned firelord ( i have killed him twice in every book but still he appears again.)

In last stand of the golden guard chapter at the start of the mission marin sends out a squad of destructors acompanied by the ''lord of the sky''.And when i destroyied the fornline bases he send out more warrios and workers to reconstruct them.
When i played as golden guard, gardon did nothing of this things: no aerial attack no reinfocments for his bases.Perhaps this must change.

Ihave to say that Salomars death was a tragic one.( i speak of the one that takes place if you reject the demon powers in first human book.
Also i replayed the first book many times and made all right choices but still Van Durce imprisoned greymoore and harmos. ( if you make all right choices in first book , van durce's reasons for imprisoning them are complethy irelevant since aedale did nothing wrong and how the hell would have greymoore been able to notice genetha's betrayal since i choose gardon???????????

Maybe because Aridon sad that even Ornasius can not truly died, so there is a chance

 

[lesnarpower12]

Got an idea : how about creating some kind of shadow warrios ?? for example shadows in the form of the known infantry ( footman , crossbowman,bowman,executor,luitenant,captain) and the rest , that will have expept their normal abilities ( defend , splash damage ) an ability called shadow touch that will render the enemy affected units vunerable to shadow damage ( the type of damage the shadow units have ) ,( i known this type donsn't exist).Please tell me your opinion about this idea.

 

[Shar Dundred]

Release of the final demo!

 

[Morris]

Finished the chapter!

This was amazing and challenging.
Duke's forces are strong indeed but the heroes can take it, didn't encounter any bugs.
I tried both choices to see the dialogue but it seems whatever we choose Lisara takes over either way. Would it make a difference if in FHB, the player chose not to consume both shards?

I havent consumed neither the shard nor the artifact and had the chance to spare daddy. No spoiler, tho, play it yourself, mate

Really man?! I don't remember what I chose in FHB but in both choices Redfist died burning. Can you tell me what happens in your version?

Spoiler

Well, I warned you. So in my case Aedale runs away screaming that Lisara manipulates her, so the demoness asks that orc to take her. And Orie at the end says something like "I cant believe she bought that", which either means she lied to us, or something else...

You should actually check out Arkain subforum, the "new content" thread, you'll find some speculations about the chapter.

 

[Shar Dundred]

The Legends of Arkain thread returns as the Round Table of Arkain!

Now it shall be used to discuss various topics that aren't fitting into any other existing threads - or the topics that people want to discuss without creating a new thread for.
Consider this an Arkain-themed discussion thread without a specific topic, to sum it up.

 

[San]

does krom like memes?

 

[Shar Dundred]

 

[Championfighter25]

He doesn't even look like he has eyes.
A few million years of existence seem to have gotten the better of him.

 

[Boriss]

Spooky scary skeletons....
Every time I see Krom this song comes to mind
Anyway, how big are the changes you are gonna implement into the release version of the 2nd human book? All chapters gonna change in one way or another, or just some picks?

 

[Darkness.Sansoyat]

hahahahahaha nice meme Shar, all these years that I have in the forum for maps and personalized campaigns like this one (the truth never wait for memes, much less for Krom xD) like for you.

Did you play heroes 3 might and magic?

No, and that is not Arkain-themed.

 

[Championfighter25]

Is still don't understand if Aridon is stupid. You mentioned he knew, he would die and how exactly it would happen, so why did he just let it happen instead of avoiding it? How is his death part of his plan?

 

[LISBOAH]

Maybe Aridon knows that you can't defy fate. As the Death God, he should know that death will come for all eventually, including him.

Or maybe, Aridon grew tired of his duty and all the atrocities he commited in the name of "balance" and realized that death was the only way out.

Maybe he realized that it was time for a new guardian to take his place.

At least he could have said "ok guys, i'mma kill myself. Saphira you've been an ally with me for a few months. You won't be the master of all undead. Rahandir no matter what happens, don't be a shithead and abandon everyone. And especially don't become a renegade that takes the Bonelords. Krom, while i like your memes stop making them and concentrate on defending Arkain."
You know, just to warn them and give guidance, instead of dying just like that.

Maybe he decided not to tell them, so that natural selection would occur. Like, let the best successor win!
In my opinion Rahandir was the best candidate. Krom is more like a professional killer than an actual leader and Sapphira is too thirsty for revenge.

Aridon: Hey Rahandir come here for a second...
Rahandir: What is wrong master?
Aridon: I am about to die because of...
Rahandir: Destiny,?
Aridon: I was going to say because the Great Shar decided it, but then again he decides our fate so... Anyway, I will appoint you as my successor. Because let's face it. Veringar is dead-
Rahandir: No one cares. I mean, may he rest in peace.
Aridon: Krom doesn't know the difference between ruling and killing all enemies and if I let Sapphira in charge, the moment I die she will launch all of our forces against the elves because of her vendetta against the queen.
Rahandir: Huh... elven women...
Aridon: So I will let you in charge...

 

[Shar Dundred]

What about the Fleshtearer, the best-spoken being of Arkain?
Or Edoarus? Or Meya? Or Keera?

 

[Championfighter25]

Maybe he decided not to tell them, so that natural selection would occur. Like, let the best successor win!

Ah the famous Arkain 3 nexus period that occured after Aridon's death, where Rahandir became a renegade and now leads a separate undead force, Krom didn't give a shit and joined Saphira and Saphira became the lord of all undead. The end.

In my opinion Rahandir was the best candidate.

True.

Krom is more like a professional killer than an actual leader

Kind of sad he didn't become a leader overtime, considering he's fucking older than Aridon.

Sapphira is too thirsty for revenge.

Hey, stop hurting her feelings.

 

[LISBOAH]

What about the Fleshtearer, the best-spoken being of Arkain?
Or Edoarus? Or Meya? Or Keera?

Flesheater is a killing machine.
Edoarus is kind of like Krom, an executioner.
Meya and Keera are more like allies to the undead than actually belonging to the Nexus.

Sapphira: Krom what are you doing here?
Krom: Look Sapphira, it just took like three seconds for me to realize it. I like killing people. The blood, the cries of agony, the faces of pain and terror... but commanding armies, it is too hard. So, you let me kill anyone you want dead and I will follow you, deal?
Sapphira:What about Rahandir?
Krom: No offense, I like him, but he is kind of a prick most of the time...
Sapphira: Point taken.

Hey, stop hurting her feelings.

What was the first thing she did after Aridon died and she toke control over the undead? She launched a massive invasion force against the elves. She even admitted that all she wanted was to see the queen die.

Although i get the joke, he really isn't so mindless. Yeah he likes killing, but he isn't a simple brute. He's cunning and even though he may look stupid, he's proven he can command an army, as we have seen a few times and can be quite serious even though it may look like he doesn't give a shit.

Yeah, that... Well, it wasn't a bad idea to help Gardon if you think about it, even though she wasn't doing this for him. It just wasn't the most optimal one. She could have used those forces in defending the dead mountains or in special missions, but yeah revenge got in the way.

He might be a good commander, but I think he is better at following orders. During the first book he succeds in leading armies but on missions Aridon sends him.

Aridon sends him to do something and he will do it flawlessly, but taking the top of the hierarchy is not something he wants in my opinion.

Sending an entire army against a nation just to kill a queen... as Tony Stark once said "not a great plan"

Yeah, everything you said is true. It's just that he is my favourite undead character and i sort of have a bias towards him.

Sending an entire army against a nation just to kill a queen... as Tony Stark once said "not a great plan"

"If we could just stop invading others kingdoms and territory before fixing our own, that be great." Said every Arkain race ever and still continues to do it. I'm looking at you Undead and especially you Orcs.

 

[Boriss]

Ya know, boyz, Saphira may be a liiiiiittle bit angry that Rahandir killed her on Aridon´s orders. So maybe that´s why she pissed on Aridon´s grave and then went on to have her fun. You should not deny a girl her fun after all.

About whats incoming. What do you plan on doing with Salana and Larine? Shar anounced some changes to their stories. I sure hope we will hear more about Larine´s exile. What actually Larine and queen argued about that fateful day.

 

[Shar Dundred]

Sapphira: Krom what are you doing here?
Krom: Look Sapphira, it just took like three seconds for me to realize it. I like killing people. The blood, the cries of agony, the faces of pain and terror... but commanding armies, it is too hard. So, you let me kill anyone you want dead and I will follow you, deal?

[LISBOAH]

Relax Rahandir just... chill!
I regret nothing.

But seriously, Rahandir is my favorite character in Arkain. Mostly because he is a prick, but the kind of prick I like.

 

[Championfighter25]

Sarcastic pricks with way too much confidence are indeed cool characters.
Not when you're fighting against them though. I always hate when he says "i could have killed you, but *insert random reason here* forbid me from doing so" while fighting against him.

 

[Shar Dundred]

But seriously, Rahandir is my favorite character in Arkain. Mostly because he is a prick, but the kind of prick I like.

He's without a doubt the most sarcastic character of Arkain as well.

I always hate when he says "i could have killed you, but *insert random reason here*

Well, he could've.

"If we could just stop invading others kingdoms and territory before fixing our own, that be great." Said every Arkain race ever and still continues to do it. I'm looking at you Undead and especially you Orcs.

Undead have territorial issues?

Sending an entire army against a nation just to kill a queen... as Tony Stark once said "not a great plan"

Well, considering the total amount of undead forces (#AridonReanimatedBillions), numbers aren't really an issue for Undead. At all.

 

[LISBOAH]

He's without a doubt the most sarcastic character of Arkain as well.

And as a sarcastic/passive-agressive person myself I like it.

Well, considering the total amount of undead forces (#AridonReanimatedBillions), numbers aren't really an issue for Undead. At all.

Yeah, but the elves know that burning corpses will prevent the undead from raising it. During the battles, they must have burned some.

And even if they lost nothing, sending nearly the entirety of the Nexus to kill a single person is a bit too much. It would have been easier to sneak up with an elite group composed of Sapphira, Krom and some undead assassins. Krom killed a lot of orc chieftains quite easily...

 

[Shar Dundred]

It would have been easier to sneak up with an elite group composed of Sapphira, Krom and some undead assassins.

If they had wanted to stay unnoticed, then yes....

 

[Championfighter25]

Well, he could've.

But of course you stopped him every time.

Undead have territorial issues?

I think they're overextending themselves a bit too much. Yeah, you said troops aren't a problem for them, but you also said using way too many troops at the same time would make everyone concentrare their efforts on eliminating them.
Also btw what happend to Mr. Sarcastic and the 3 Bonelords after chapter 12?
I guess DrakeSkull man escaped, but did the Bonelords' corpses get burned/destroyed?
