Round Table of Arkain

[Heimgri123]

I don't think there are tauren, satyrs, draenei or dragonspawn in the Arkain universe.

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 world

Spoiler

What I meant is that there is highly unprobable that there are creatures similar to them in Arkain. For now, none has showed up.

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 serious

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.

Spoiler

Among other things, you will learn what Gardon was doing near the Derryn outpost back then.
Remember that?

So, 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

Spoiler

Interlude about love was moved in between 8th and 9th chapter. So there is still hope for us

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.

What are you talking about?I mean yeah we may feel friendship,good will,happiness,kindness,liking,pleasure,sympathy,admiration,approval,blessing,delight,fondness,honour,like,praise,regard and respect,but i don't think we will see any love in it

Salana x Larine will yet prevail! Long ears and red hair cannot be stopped!

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!

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.

Yeah, like Gardon. Sacrificing entire village for his blood shield Orc book, siege of Kome, Zairmak mentions it.

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?

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.

 

[LISBOAH]

Spoiler

Spoiler

Gardon is not the regular human. He believes that the end always justifies the means, even if the means are amoral or even immoral. However he did such things with a purpose in mind. Gardon is at his worst amoral, but he doesn't enjoy violence and is no sadist. The orcs pillage and burn villages like it is a sport.

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.

That kind of logic makes sense, in a dark way. Had they left most of the Darkmind live, they would regain their power in a matter of years and restart pillaging and killing.
I am not saying I support Blen's decision, but as a military leader it makes sense.

 

[Heimgri123]

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?

Spoiler

Gardon has her under control, so there is no need for a marriage. I suppose Gardon will marry with a princess or queen of the kingdoms to have the kingdoms on his side

Spoiler

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.

Spoiler

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.

We shall see tomorrow. That interlude has us conspiring like its UFO on the sky. Damn that Shar, so manipulative

Marrying into Edo.Exe´s family. Now that would be... well I think they would like each other

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 too

Spoiler: The theory,if you want to read it that is

Behind the truth always lies manipulation.Shar is like some puppet master.Pulling the strings,just waiting to prove that we were wrong.This straw poll is all part of his plan.A plan that involves studying us to know how we think,how we act.A plan that has spanned for decades or even centuries.What if he lies about his age?What if he isn't 22,but 222 years old?What if this entire series is a creation that was made to make us to like war more?War leads to violence and doom.It is bad and what if he wants to make us love it so we play even more legends of Arkain?

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.
Anyway i expected something a bit more interesting,but eh,this will do.

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.

Spoiler

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?

 

[Championfighter25]

Spoiler: My thoughts on the interlude

Well this was interesting.Man people will hate Gardon for what he will do,i wrote in a reply a while back and it was just a joke,that the Zyainor will be like Gardon's future kingdom and now ironically it is!And i wonder why didn't anyone ask even 1 question about Brian?Weren't they suspicious of him?
Anyway looking forward to the hate!

 

[Blake8]

Ok, so big thanks to @Shar Dundred, @Siler, and @Colonel Aster for helping me regain my privileges to post in the thread again,

anyway not to go off topic again: I just saw the interlude it blew me away,

Spoiler

some very interesting developments have occurred and now I'm just thinking where exactly is the story going, this was nothing like I expected book 2 to be, I thought it was gonna be about this huge civil war and basically something completely different, this story just keep changing directions, and now dragons are introduced, and Gardon is to be married to Vale and I never expected this, I wonder how the wedding will be

Keep up the great work Shar!

Glad you liked it!
Not since the First Books initial launch, but before the First Human Book was finished.
And yes, it is Thanok.

@Blake8:

Spoiler

I consider making a wedding scene.

 

[Daffa]

It's a mistake to open the spoilers. Damn.

 

[Championfighter25]

@Shar Dundred

Spoiler

If you really make a wedding scene insert yourself into it and together with Gardon and Vail shout at the priest to get it over with faster.You know he will eat ice cream afterwards,and then cry and then to make him feel even miserable you will give his Sasrogarn's role and then to ease his pain a little bit you can make Krom kill him,i mean this is perfect character development for him

 

[Boriss]

Spoiler

Sweet mother of all revelations. So, Aedale entered the same cave Gardon did? If so, then why? OH poor Aedale, what will happen to you in that cave? What evil do you seek to awaken to destroy your loving dad?

 

[Shar Dundred]

Spoiler

Not the same.

 

[Blake8]

I believe its the cave where her Redfist daddy is

 

[LISBOAH]

Why would he be on a cave? Most likely it is the entrance to a secret passage that leads to the inside of a castle or mansion where her father is.

Great power? In the orcs? The same orcs that nearly lost half of their forces and are so "powerful" that they haven't even been an actual threat in this book? That is both cute and hilarious!
If these dragons join the orcs it will be just because they have a common enemy.

Don't worry man Shar will make them drink from a fountain of blood and then they will have super enraged chaos damage troops and actually begin to be a problem.
Don't you dare underestimate a demon blood infused orc.
Now seriously yes their brain is like a first grade student trying to do a math test for a 12th grade student,but hey since they got so many allies that proves they can sort of co-exist with other races,making them not as dumb as we thought.Now we can't call them pure orcs anymore and making such a federation of races is indeed something that may end very badly,but hey look on the bright side,if they really fail once again,at least we will have something fun to destroy after we have dealt with the demons.
