Since Arcane Odyssey is getting the WoM treatment when AO was getting prepared to release I may as well talk about AO lore, weapons, curses and what not only in this thread
Day 1: Arcane Odyssey context
Arcane Odyssey is a continuation of vetex’s ongoing series Arcane Adventures taking place after the fight of the peacekeeper vs durza curses are still relevant in today’s lore being used as a marketing strategy to trade different curses to other kingdoms in return for another.
I shall watch this with interest
We shall watch
And about the curses. Order of Aesir was created centuries before mc awakens on dawn island. Does that mean it should have existed in AA? Or it was planned to appear in seas past third?
The Order is probably exclusively in the War Seas, remember they can’t communicate with the Seven Seas
doubt it. for an organization that might have played a big part in an upcoming game in the series you’d expect at least a bit of foreshadowing or a mention in the AA lore after the whole project imploded
do you really think in a time without radio they would talk with guys on the other side of the world
also ao story prob wasnt made at the time of aa’s existence
Day 2: Durza part 1
Durza was once just a boy just like the rest of the children in his village in the woods. One day he decided to take a walk in the woods thats when he discovers a mysterious glowing purple cube. Durza decides to investigate it when all the sudden when he touches it a bright light bursted out of the cube. Once the bright light was gone the cube was along side with it. Some time later a group of bandits invade his village when he was sleeping durza’s home collapses on him causing him to break his arm?? Anyway a light magic user if the same bandit group tries to cast a spell on durza but when durza extended his arm outwards the bandit’s life force along side their abilities to cast their magic disappears taking light magic for himself this gave him to get thoughts of abusing said power since he now knows he has the absorption curse. Going from town to town he takes magic from every magic user he could find nicknaming him ‘the magic thief’ until he met theos durza tried to do the same thing to him but theos was too powerful for durza to take any magic from him both theos and Durza fought destroying towns, forests and mountains in the process theos had a massive advantage in terms of combat experience taking durza’s leg he retreated to then come back with an army of undead. Theos and durza did the same thing again until durza charged up every single magic and curse he could to conjure up a devastating attack theos dodges the attack instead hitting a mountain close behind them the impact was so devastating that it caused earthquakes so powerful that the lands turned into islands, tsunamis to form and 80% of the human population was wiped out.
ao recap thread
Day 3: Prometheus
Prometheus is the wielder of one of the grand fire curses known as the Promethean fire curse. Vetex gave the AA lore a twist in Greek mythology where instead of Prometheus giving man kind the gift of fire instead they were gifted magic. Prometheus in his early stages of god hood disguised himself as a old monk in a small village teaching people how to cast magic properly in return of a red crystal (idk how to spell the name for it) the way it works is that the red crystal was transported to mount Olympus which Prometheus absorbs to become more powerful like a power boost. This was going smoothly until the actual god killer Arthur Cursebeard hunted down and killed Prometheus (why will be explained in later days) later on in the story when Theos find’s durza with the mc durza casts his undead revival magic on Prometheus which caused theos to push himself to his absolute 100% mutating his phoenix magic but due to his over usage of his power he died giving the mc their third mind (more will be given in future days.)
pov: uncanon info
Day 4: The Arcane Government
The Arcane Government in Arcane Adventures lore is the driving force in keeping the seven seas safe. Being founded and lead by Valenica (more info later) (possibly not canon) before the start of the story for AA the Arcane Government offered theos an offer to join the Arcane Government which he refused as he did not agree with how they conducted themselves through out the story Durza shows sustain against the Arcane Government because they are obtrusive in Durza’s plan. At the end of the AA story with the defeat of Durza he lets out a massive explosion destroying the AG’s headquarters demolishing the AG’s existence and thus they dont exist.
ironically this one looks fully canon
Day 5: Poseidon
Poseidon is the sea god of greek mythology and in Arcane Adventures and Arcane Odyssey he was not mentioned much in the story of AA but it is said that he could control the seas with precision with his trident. Poseidon was the 2nd in command for the one shot pirates under Arthur Cursebeard. In the Cursebeard war against Durza Poseidon ends up losing his life to the Undead Zues (more info later) Durza than used his dead revival magic on the dead Poseidon to work under Durza instead changing the tides of war drastically Cursebeard loses his life after taking undead Poseidon’s life. In Arcane Odyssey approximately a year later poseidon is the god that speaks to the main character of AO and gives them their Awakening (more info later) stating that ‘people with your blood’ which speculates that we have a special type of blood probably the same blood as gods which is why The Order of Aesier wanted to run experiments on us so badly. (more info later)
seems canon
Day 6: Averill
Averill is the captain of The Shining Pirates (more info later) and holder of the light curse which allowed the user to control light perfectly like if it was an object. The way Averill got the curse is by getting their hands on it on the verge of death which saved him. Not much is really known about him but his biggest feat is being the first one to realise that the earth was round.
averill more like avercool
Day 7: Tringo
Tringo the volcano is the holder of the Magma Curse allowing the user to fluently control magma at will. His past was that he was once apon a time a member of The One Shot Pirates before they became really rich and powerful they were collecting curses Tringo attempted to get a curse for himself accidentally absorbing it he returned back to Arthur Cursebeard to tell him that he failed seeing this he was thrown overboard left to rot on a island in the seven seas he then made a obsidian path. He then lived in solitude for a while until he made a ship of his own The Rumbling Caldera becoming a big shot pirate group with his vice captain Romulus if you speak with Tringo in Saveria he tells you that Verdie’s crew penetrated the captain’s quarters with a plasma cannon ball. Not much other than Rupin The Crimson Hound (more info later) being a rival of Tringo,
erm actually his nickname is the crimson demon
do you mean an island in the old sea?
Day 8: Rupin
Rupin the holder of the Fire Curse is a both ruthless and insane captain who most times than not puts their own crewmates in risk of death. The only info we really have in AA is that In AR (not completely canon) his level is unknown to the player. A fight was supposed to break out between Tringo and Rupin where Tringo emerges victorious.
