Salute all Dakkanauts

Let us introduce you our first project – Battle of Irrnon-Sol Terrat 54mm vignette . It starts on Kickstarter in 5 days.
It is an epic 54mm vignette named „Fall of Great General“ (Battle of Irrnon-Sol Terrat)

Though we know there are mostly those who play tabletop games here, on the Dakka Dakka, we believe we will find people who will help us to make our dreams come true and support the Kickstarter campaign to allow us to develop the tabletop game whose production is in its start. Every figures and battle scenes described in our future vignettes and dioramas come from the world of Illada, universe of our future tabletop game.

Preview of our Kickstarter page

This is a part of more complex ensemble that covers for example a Vignettes and dioramas 54mm or tabletop game to be released in 2016.
Vignette project and other upcoming items are taking place in our own world of Illada show episodes from the Great War for magic plant - a black Kenakarra rose.

Our first Kickstarter campaign, where vignette are describing the Battle of Irnon-Sol Terrat, will be offered starts in June 25th, 2015.

Daniela and Arkhareon Team

Only small WIP for now...

Now it is clear, that we are not able to complete the whole vignette to our campaign launch, in a timely manner. But please, do not judge by today´s photos. The best and greatest progress we prepared for tlaunch of this campaign.But it is clear, we will have to complete some work after our campaign launch, because we will not procrastinate it in any way:-).

Hello Dakka

I come to you with a very, very, unpleasant news of that caused me to be still in shock.




Unfortunately we have to cancel the current campaign on Kickstarter for reasons beyond our control.





Reasons:

To access Kickstarter (Kickstarter isn’t still available in every country), we used the services of Bridgestarter, as we mentioned during our pre-campaign (link here). However, two days ago we received a message from Bridgestar with additional condition changes. It was evocated with the Kickstarter rules. Unfortunately, we haven’t understood the report correctly till this morning. After multiple exchanging emails with Bridgestar, we fully understand the implications of the message.

According to original conditions we had - when Bridgestarter gather funding from Pledgers - receive arranged amount of money collected on Kickstarter so we could have used the money to produce Rewards and to start the project. Well, conditions have changed and now we got some money from Kickstarter only AFTER we have produced rewards and delivered it to all pledgers.

You sure understand that this is not simply possible. We wanted to run our campaign on KS precisely because KS is here to help people to start their cool projects. That is the main sense of crowdfunding – other people support projects they think are useful.

From morning We tried to find or invent an acceptable alternative, but we failed .

I want to make it clear - I do not blame the Bridgestarter company. Change of conditions is official as can be seen on their site. However, for us, this condition is unacceptable. We need money from the Kickstarter campaign just to start the production and launch the project. New conditions may pay off for companies that take Kickstarter as a pre-sale platform and they have their own strong economic base. Well it is not our case because we want bring you something new.

Consequences:

We will try to gain access to KS another way, but – unfortunately - it looks like we will have to run the project on Indiegogo. This is less popular platform. We'll need much more time for promotion, and we want to finish all the bonus pieces, too. We want to be as ready as we can be before we go on Indiegoo. And as the holidays begin, it would not be wise to start the campaign in these times.

Therefore the Indiegogo campaign will start probably sometime in the mid-September. Let us strive to know all the possibilities we have. Very soon, no later than next Monday, we will bring you more specified information.

We apologize for all the occured troubles. This delay is not really caused by us and we are still in shock ourselves. We put everything into this project. We still believe in it and honestly ask all of you who we have managed to attract with it to persevere and help us..

If we caused anyone troubles, we apologize very hereby. We will do our best to work it up to a successful end, and we thank all of you who have supported us and who come here. Thank you.


Please, stay with us.

A real shame, but at least you've realised the problem before it was too late

good luck with the Indiegogo when that launches

Thanks so much and yes, you're right. We need to recover a bit. It's like when you jump from the bridge into the water and remain suspended in the air ... We are solving, how to proceed, but indiegogo in September is really probably the most likely. On Monday, he finally decides what will be the way forward. Thanks for your words.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Hello one more time, Dakka

We will take a very short break till Monday to solve the present situation. On Monday at 20:00 CET we will bring you a new information. And some photos :-) because the project is still alive and there’s alot we need to share with you…


Have a nice weekend.

Daniela and Arkhareon team

Hi Dakka

I'm here with new information (taken from our blog)

Good evening everybody (or the part of the day during which you sit down to read this report)

Last week was ended with uncomfortable days. Uncomfortable for us, but certainly also for those of you who were expecting the launch of our campaign on Kickstarter, which hasn’t come at all. I do not go back to the reasons we have already explained exhaustively on Thursday. Let’s loose what it was, and let’s jump immediately into the future.

I must say Kickstarter is really unavailable now for us. Definitively. Well, some options were discovered by us, but – unfortunately - the terms of such options are not acceptable.

That’s why we decided to move our project to Indiegogo. We know some hard-core Kickstarter supporters may not like such step but we will do our best to convince them of it. Well, there is a lot of you will certainly like so do not miss the bus :-)

To receive space for boosted campaign, better promotion and also to avoid time of summer holidays (this is not a very appropriate time for any crowdfunding campaign at all), we adjusted the most likely launch of the campaign of our Indiegogo campaign on September 14, 2015

This give us two-and-a-half months not only to complete the project but even to improve it fundamentally. It also allow us to bring other important aspects with a high added value into our pre-campaign.


So what are our plans for next two-and-a-half months and for the campaign itself?

New Benefits of Our Project

1. Upgrade of our Vignette

Mainly we decided to perk up our vignettes even far beyond the original design.

2.Sculpting of Stretch Goals

Before the campaign starts we will finish all five bonus freebie figures, including the three designed as Stretch goals. All eventual contributors will gain their opportunity to see and evaluate real models, which will be fought in the stretch goals. We also will try to sculpt some of the alternative / complementary parts for SG at least.These are stretch goals that were originally meant to be sculpted only after they would have been unlocked.

3.New Freebie and Add-on

We will bring two more 54mm figures. For those of you who are interested in the historical background of the Battle of Irrnon Sol-Terre I name in that the figures are not included in the vignette but both have a close connection with this glorious and tragic battle where noble Kworg forces (allied with Elves) were destroyed by their brothers, Dark Kworgs and dark legions of the parallel Bharngstarm empire (for more information on the historical background click here). One of these figures will be available from the beginning of the campaign as an add-on. The second one will enrich the range of freebies intended only for Vignette Bundle Reward (known as Perk now - we have to get use to the new terminology). This figure will be Indiegogo Exclusive Only and will be available immediately after basic objective of the campaign will be reached. Both figures are truly great and epic and will be available with great scenic base. We will bring you more info and silhouettes, concepts and WIP photos so there is a lot to look forward to.

4. Competitions

We have already considered to arrange a competition for some of our figures. Now we decided to brush off this idea. There will be two competitions prepared. They will (of course) relate to our project. First of them will be a three-round competition for only one winner who will receive all the figures successfully funded in our campaign – that means the basic vignette, freebies and all stretch goals, freebies and all unlocked add-ons (IMPORTANT: the prize will be available ONLY IF the campaign is successful!).

The second contest will be a one round contest. There will be five winners. Each of them will receive one add-on figure (one of those two newly added). This figure will be casted as an short-run benchmark. These prizes will be sent regardless of the result of the campaign when the project is being completed and perks are sent to supporters (Contributors). In the event of failure of the campaign prizes will be sent at the time of campaign closure.

We will bring you more information soon.

We are preparing even some more, little surprises, for you, so stay with us and keep on watching of our pre-campaign.

We will meet only sporadically in this week.

Thursday, July 2 Faertenien photos
Saturday, July 4 Beast rider photos

We are going to prepare a plan for an extended pre-campaign, presentation materials and other necessaries. We will be back again in full force by the beginning of next week, Monday, July 6

May the the Liaytes (creators of the Illada world) force be with you and we are looking forward to meetings filled with clash of arms, clamour of warriors and horrific roar of Bharngstarm beasts.

Welcome to the resumption of the pre-campaign of the project Battle of Irrnon-Sol Terrat.


Daniela

Hi Dakka

Today we are continuing our pre-campaign again. We have done some changes and we hope you will appreciate them in the second part of our extended pre-campaign.

Firstly we would like to repeat the basic information.

The launch of our campaign is determined on 14th September 2015 on the Indiegogo portal.

Until our campaign launch we will meet together here and on some forums too to share some posts and projects photos.

During the first month – it means from now until 5th August 2015 - we will bring you our updates every third day on our blog.

This photos of Faerentien and the Beast Rider (attached files), were for now the last ones, you could see. The next photos will show you the complete and finished vignette. We will introduce you this vignette on 6th August 2015. Until this time we will bring you WIP sculpting bonus freebie figurines and complementary/alternative freebie parts, but you can expect also another informations connected with the Battle of Irrnon-Sol Terrat and our campaign on the IGG.
Our production blog here:
http://www.realms-of-kenakarra-rose.com

On 6th August 2015 we will introduce you the complete basic vignette and we will publish the preview of our IGG campaign. We will appreciate all your ideas, suggestions and comments to our campaign. If it will be possible, we will try to accept them and use the interesting and doable ideas and suggestions. And we will try to implement them, if it will be possible.

From 6th August 2015 until our campaign launch we will meet together with the updates every day. We will bring you lots of news every day. We will inform you about both of our competitions details and we will bring you the concepts of the promised new figures and their WIP and many other things too.

So - keep going on!

Stay tuned

Hi Dakka

New WIP of the freebie stretch goal figure (Argera Kworg Standard Bearer - Hornist) for Battle of Irrnon-Sol Terrat vignette (Indiegogo campaign - September 14)

Who were Kworgs of Argera?

The Kworgs, one of the noble races created by the Liayates – Creators of Illada - divided into several nations the same way like the Elves. After a terrible fratricidal war, which started 14 000 years before the Great war for Kenakarra Rose broke out, this race divided itself into two nations. Those ones, who caused this conflict and left to the west after the war, were called the Dark Kworgs.

Another Kworgs were not able to become the noble and famous race as they were before the war again . When their king Abration died, they were still strong enough to be able to defeat Sorok – the Master of Guiulthans and the dark sorcerer too and to destroy the second Kenakarra rose (the complete Kenakarra Rose story you can gradually follow here), but they started to divide into the three smaller nations.

Those ones, who stood in their old empire were called the Kworgs of Rasthianath.

Another nation – the Kworgs of Barduanel - came to the north and they created a very small empire next to the Syrgonian Elves empire. They took their name after their first king Barduanel.

The last nation of the original Kworgian race was called the nation of the Kworgs of Argerra.

They went to the northwest of Illada and they founded the empire of Argerra. Argerra was quite remote from the empire of the Dark Kworgs, but as demonstrated in the future , it was not far enough to be safe and well protected. As the only empire of Kworgs was Argerra attacked by the Dark Kworgs very often. Yet, it was not a terrible civil war, these war episodes have been very cruel and exhaustive. Fortunately, the Kworgs from this small land have found an ally – the Rothrolwëan Farseas. These allies helped them to resist and to stabilize their power.

The empires of Elves were much more independent and their nations were very often fighting against each other. The Kworgs did not feel it the same way as the Elves – they thought they are the only nation and one race of Irmalladdens- brothers in the eternity ( except of the Dark Kworgs). They met together, they traded together, sometimes they entered into the military alliance – if it was needed in the darker and darker world of Illada.

As the Great war for Kenakarra rose started, all the empires of the Kworgs – with an exception of the Dark Kworgs – fought on the side of new Red alliance, which was concluded by the Farseas and Alberia, the powerful human empire. They took a part in many battles in the early stages of this war conflict, without the participation of the dark legions of Bharngstarm yet. They also participated in the battle of Agrianor. They were a very important part of army, which has liberated the besieged city of Agrianor – the capitol of Alberia. At the same time the army of the Dark Kworgs attacked Argerra. They were very cruel, they killed and plundered the land. The main army of Argerra together with all the allies was very far from this attacked empire. But there still was the „Dusk Army“ in Argerra. The Kworgs were very good warriors and they new many war strategies very well, so they left this army at home to protect their empire. So, the story of the tragic battle of Irrnon Soll Terrat begins just now.

Great thing, just wait :-)



Stay tuned and do not miss your great chance ...



Have a nice day :-)

Daniela and Arkhareon Team

Hi DAKKA

We bring you next WIP of Kworg standard bearer. Finished figure we will introduce at great presentation of the complete vignette (diorama). In the next WIP we will bring you the progress of another freebie figure.

Hello Dakkanauts :-)


We bring you another WIPs today. It is a next Stretch Goal Freebie for our IGG campaign, Bharngstarm Stormtrooper this time. You will see the finished figure when we reveal the whole vignette.

We will show you another advance in our Kworg infantryman (WIPs here http://www.realms-of-kenakarra-rose.com/2015/06/battle-of-irrnon-sol-terrat-pre_13.html) in next WIP post.

Well, we really work like fury. We are finishing all our figures. What has looked like a small vignette is growing into highly sophisticated epic diorama :-).

Beside it we are working on the vignette that is going to be the prize for our contest (the second of five contest teasers coming soon).

On 14 August there will begin an intensive pre-campaign. During it we will be on our blog every day. The original date has been moved to keep pace and intensity for tougher pre-campaign before the very start of the campaign on Indiegogo itself (September 14, 2015). Scheme of pre-campaign will be brought you soon. For now we just can say we will uncover finished (!) vignette and some bonus figures – except the secret one!

Stay tuned

Daniela and Arkhareon team



Who were the warriors from Bharngstarm?

In the year 9998 of the first age, something really terrible happened. And the consequences of this event have been unimaginable. Sorok – the dark Sorcerer and Master of the Guiulthans died in the fight with the alliance of noble races and another nations and his soul was rent to pieces. (More informations about the Black Rose creation and its history and about the reasons of the great war you can follow here: http://www.realms-of-kenakarra-rose.com/search/label/War%20for%20Kenakarra%20Rose%20Historical%20Background[url] ). With the death of Sorok were all dark magic flows of Illada broken. But these flows were so strong, that at the moment of Sorok´s death they divided the world of Illada into a few parts. The parallel world of darkness and horror was created this way – full of strange, deformed and evil creatures together with demons and terrible monsters. There were new empires and many kingdoms in this new world, but the rules were completly different from the rules of Illada.

During the Black Rose war, the dark legions under the terrible and powerful unknown entity rule found an opened passage to get to the world of Illada. At this moment we will not talk anymore about these events, but we will tell more in the one of our future projects – as a main aspect of it. What is certain is, that in the beginning of the Kenakarra Rose war – when the battle of Rosteyhyrn took its place, the mission of Sor – ran – Master of the Soranian empire – visited the Dark Kworgs empire. The result of this visit was an agreement of non – interference of the Dark Kworgs until they would not be asked to do it. As the allies they were promised to get the beings so terrible and devastating, that nothing similar to them was known on Illada. These allies were the Dark Legions of Bharngstarm.

The quality looks good, but...

Enough spikez?

Oh look, another quadruped with bodybuilder arms for forelegs...

Thanks for the comment . You know, there are never enough spikes :-D. They will be much smaller, this is just a concept - only a basis for further work. Barbs, spikes and horns are typical for armor of Bharngstarmu warrior.

 Vermis wrote:

If you think the beast and the rider, yes. The beast can move along hinders and there is an opposable thumb on its front legs so it’s close to primate anatomy. Although it is mainly used as a quadruped animals within light cavalry. Its ability to walk on rears makes them truly versatile and very dangerous tools of war in some combat situations. Therefore the rider is engrossed with chains to the saddle. The rider may, however, release a lock to jump off anytime, for example if the beast was fatally injured. Well, killin’ these beasties is really quite hard ... And this is just a "light cavalry". Wait until heavy cavalry will be introduced someday in our another project :-)

During IGG campaign a lot of information will be brought – not only about individual figures. You will know a lot about their armor, accessories, tactics and even the doom of the characters shown in our diorama.

I wish you all the best with the IGG project. I will definitely be looking at this game once it hits retail as I go nowhere near IGG.

Thank you very much for your wishes for success.

For now, this is still not a game, it's 54 mm pieces for collectors. 32 mm miniature game we are preparing for next year, however, if we manage to start our company.

We are sorry so many people have such an obvious reluctance to support IGG projects. Well, we understand. We are preparing some moves to soften the most fundamental differences between the Kickstater and the Indiegogo. Hope it makes KS supporters to change their mind they will support our IGG campaign. We really need your help/support - without the success of the campaign we will not be probably able to start the project, we have no funds for the production and retention of such a big project.

Well, we will see. Anyway, thank you for your support and stay with us.

Hello Dakka

Today we bring you a list of posts for our drive up pre-campaign beginning on 14 August. As you can see, it is really going to be souped up. In addition to it there will be even more posts. Above all we will continue the series of articles about the Battle of Irrnon Sol-Terre and it will be getting increase during the pre-campaign. We will also finish the series about the causes of War for the black rose and lots more. It is possible some posts will be swapped during the campaign - if so, we are sorry for it and pardon us. We are very busy. Please be tolerant, there is still a great deal of work ahead...

Get ready, it's coming ...

This is the last WIP before the start of our drive up pre-campaign. It will begin on August 14th by the exposal of whole vignette. We are very curious about your reactions. Last month before the campaign starts on Indiegogo we will turn not only new figures but also enchasing details and upgrade of the vignette - BTW - promised at the end of June.

Hi Dakka Warriors

Now we reveal third of five teasers of the Competition


"In the Storm of Fratricidal War"


Stay Tuned

Hello Dakka

Welcome at the start of our drive up pre-campaign. Because we wrote a lot and because a picture goes for a thousand words, we present you now Battle of Irrnion-Sol Terrat vignette WIP with all freebies figures (except the only secret one for now :-)).





Keep in mind that this is still just a WIP. It is necessary to finish many parts and details.

And the tuning of it comes now.

Details of Kworg’s armor decorations, their weapons, bharngstarmian armor texture and other details will be added over the next three weeks and one week (approx) before start of the IGG campaign the vignette - actually already diorama – will be introduced in its full state. It will be in a new full array, higher resolution photos and, of course, including its 360° videos.
I still have not mentioned the base that will be created in two versions - simpler one for the basic edition and much more complex and epic version of the base for collectible and limited edition.

You remember, simultaneously we are preparing other figures for our competition and . The first WIP you will see soon.

Because there is still huge piece of work ahead, I repeat (!) - it may happen that some posts during the pre-campaign will be swapped. We ask for your understanding and tolerance. We thank you in advance for it.


So go ahead heroes of Illada - The adventure continues !!!

And finally ... a little something at the end of today's post

The fourth of the five!

Hello Dakkanauts

Only a small tasting of new figure for our Indiegogo campaign today…

Concept and WIP coming soon


Astarnain – the Great Ortiniastor

Great Ortiniastor (the great army law interpreter, field judge and executioner)

Astarain was the second most powerful man in the Dark Kworgs empire. He was in his function of the top Ortiniastor almost 2000 years. Amthirneall, his predecessor, died in the battle of Wartinhein. The Dark Kworgs fought in this battle with the aliance of Argerian Kworgs and the Alhratt kingdom.

Astarnain was a really powerful man. The Ortiniastor function was ment only for the army activities, but the Dark Kworgs took a part in many wars for a long long time, so they needed this man very much and he was given by a great power and respect. Even Graetsnal, the ruler of the Dak Kworgs, was scared of the great power of this Ortiniastor. The Ortiniastor was the great commander of his own army, called the Guard of the Death Shadows. Formally, this guard was under the command of Lord Graetsnal, but the soldiers respected only Astarnain as their commander. Their loyalty was wonderful and crossed the borders of the death shadows. The death shadows – empire of afterlife, that the Kworgs believed. These soldiers were his own praetorians. But although Astarnain was very cruel and unscrupulous, he was unreservedly loyal to Lord Graetsnal. His loyalty was incontestable.

There were many life changes in our story during next years of the Great war for the Black Rose, but you will hear about them later. The Great Ortiniastor was honored many times during the battle of Irrnon-Sol Terrat – f. eg. he and his Guard fataly disrupted the military deposits of great Argerrian general Faertenien in the ancien ruins. Without his horse, he got the general ´s banner and he weakened his section so much, that the Bharngstarm light cavalry and the heavy man-at-arms unites defeated Faertenien men very easily. During this Beasts of Bharngstarm attack died the general of Argerra too. Our vignette with the battle of Irrnon-Sol Terrat theme, shows the last moments of his life.

Our new figurine shows Astarnain at the moment when he lifts the trophy – standart of Argerra – high above his head.


Cheers

Hello Dakka Warlords

KS vs. IGG

Do you prefer Kickstarter and do you have any reservations Indiegogo? So, this post ist just for you. We have prepared some steps to mitigate the differences between these two platforms to bring to the Kickstarter fans the maximum comfort and security when participating in our campaign at IGG.

I must warn you frankly - do not expect miracles. We cannot change IGG for KS by waving magical wand (well, we don’t have any). Despite this we tried to bring our IGG campaign for those who prefer KS. Even for those who are against Indiegogo and refuse to use it. We hope we will convince you you can follow us on Indiegogo at least once though you don’t want to use it normally. If you are – OTOH - one of those who don’t mind using Indiegogo or/and you are already its customer keep reading, too. Maybe you can find interesting information here it will make your part of our campaign more easy.

The most important difference between Kickstarter and Indiegogoo is that while KS captivate pledgers’ money AFTER the campaign is successful, the IGG "contributors" pay their money at once. We can do, unfurtunately, nothing with that. We are not able to change the nature of this platform. Well, we will anticipate at some other aspects in what these two crowdfunding platforms vary and what can do the Indiegogo crowdfunding platform less popular with some supporters.


ISSUE ONE:

Funding goal must be withdrawn on KS otherwise the campaign is unsuccessful. IGG offers flexible financing option - the project will receive the money even if it does not reach the funding goal. It comes too risky for many supporters because they are afraid the project would not be completed due to lack of funding.

OUR SOLUTION:

Very simple. IGG has already offer alternative called Fixed Funding. It is identical with the essence of Kickstarter. If any campaign does not collect a target amount, all the money is returned to contributors. Project is successful only after reaching the funding goal. Well, of course we choose this type of financing. That means every contributor (Pledger) will be sure that our financial target is met. If not, she/he will get back with all her/his inserted resources.


ISSUE TWO:

Already chosen Reward can be changed anytime on Kickstarter. For example: You choose $20 reward but then you change your mind and you just pick out different $80 reward. It is impossible on the IGG - after you pay it is impossible to change it. You just can buy another new Perk (reward).

OUR SOLUTION:

It’s again simple. On the IGG it is possible - contrary to Kickstarter – to choose and purchase any number of perks in a single campaign. We have added a so-called $1 Perk (Reward) to our campaign. If any supporter just will want only any add-on without any perk (reward), she/he just choose this Add-on Perk and place a dollar pay - per selected add-on (there is no limit for payments for perks), so you can contribute any amount above a certain threshold - in this case $1. So if your chosen add-on costs $ 40, you select this $1 add-on Perk and in box of the amount you enter $40. In the note you then type the name of the add-on, which you are interested in.

It will be possible to upgrade Perks (rewards) in the same way. For example: you select Perk Leader (Kworg rider alone) but you change your mind later on for the Perk Vignette Bundle (full vignette with two riders and two bonus figures). You just choose the Add-on perk and pay extra difference in price. That’s all.

Details of both options and detailed examples how to apply these procedures will be published in the article "How to Contribute on Indiegogo"


ISSUE THREE:

It is possible to reduce or even call off the promise on Kicksarter. Indiegogo doesn’t support anything like this ..

OUR SOLUTION:

This is a great issue and we admit that we have not found a satisfactory solution. Partial solutions we can offer you, if you ask us to cancel the promise of a refund, we'll do it. We must point out that it is very complicated and challenging and we ask you to take this step only in very serious and necessary situations. Refunds will not be reflected on IGG campaign (the IGG system does not allow it), and therefore we can have serious worries with the financing itself. Therefore we appeal to your responsibility. Think twice to be sure you want to support our campaign and contribute to our project only (!) when you are really sure you want to support us.


An addition to the IGG payments:

Fixed campaign takes the form of payments through PayPal. Remember you do not need to own a PayPal account to participate in our campaign. You can pay as a guest and use your credit card. More information in the article How To Contribute on Indiegogo (September 4).



These were the three most important issues we have seen in various internet forums when discussing the differences between these platforms (IGG vs KS). If you think you see another not mentioned issue, please feel free to let us know in the comments or on our e-mail. We will try to find a solution to them.

There is no doubt we believe you will support us on the IGG. Remember there are many ‘Indiegogo only’ freebies in our campaign. They won’t available later. These Exclusive freebies won’t be available in retail and you can get them only in our campaign starting on September 14th. We hope you take part in.

And even second tasting of the new figures for our campaign today...


Elrainia Strikes

Elrainia, the combat girl of Argerra, the Mistress of "Arkies", reconnaissance, marauding squad composed of Kworgian women only, will fight in this little vignette with the rider of Bharngstarm on the eight – legs Beast.


Elrainia was one of the most successful combat girls of the Argerrian Kworgs Dusk army. She was the daughter of Faertenien ´s brother Fenrainal, so she had the task to be the Mistress of warriors due to her origin. She was not given by the strategic thinking, but she was a very valiant amazon. She has the same physical condition as a man. Elrainia ´s squad was used for reconnaissance and special secret tasks in the rear of the enemy very often. In fact, they had the similar mission as japanese medieval Ninjas.

She fought in the battle of Irrnon-Sol Terrat together with her uncle - general Faertenien. She was one of the three warriors, who managed to escape from this battle.

After general ´s death, a terrible bloody massacre started. Elrainia was badly hurt and after the blow to the head she lost consciousness for the whole day. She woke up the other day, and she had a huge stroke of luck . The Beast-warriors from Bhrangstarm decapitated many dead enemies to make the war trophies. The victorious army encamped nearby and only the Bharngstarm decapitators and the Dark Kworgs warriors went through the silent land to get some war prey. Elrainia took off her armor and she could got very discreetly to one of the fight wall gorges. She got to the opposite side of the rock wall in the darkness of the night and she escaped the battlefield this way.

In our little vignette, intended as our add-on, Elrainia fights with the Bharngstarm rider on the eight-legs beast. In the Bharngstarm dark dimension, many sorts of bigger and smaller beasts existed. These beasts were used as the transport and war animals by the dark demons warriors. Elrania fought just with such a rider on the beast a short time before her hurt and unconscious. Our little dramatic reconstruction shows her last fight.

Have a nice day

Hi Dakka

I am very sorry, but I have bad news.

Borek - our sculptor and author of vignette "In the storm of Frartricidal War" - is in the hospital just now - he is sufferring of kidneys stones and colics- nothing extremely serious, but very painful. Probably, he should stay in the hospital for two-three days. So, the vignette and other sculpting activities have to wait for a while. As I found out now, these problems are also the reason, why Borek was late with the vignette. He wanted to finish this vignette all costs, but he was not able to do it.

We hope, he will be soon back and we shall overcome all these problems. We would like to continue according to our original plan (today, we bring you the latest silhouette of newly added vignette), the most of our activities are prepared - so, we hope, we could be able to show you our vignette on Wednesday or during Thursday at the latest. We can not anticipate for thi​​s time. We would like to ask you for your patience and understanding.

Thank you very much and please, stay with us.


Show must go ON !

Fateful Combat

The fight of Gartenian Sorthar, the hero of Argerra, with Rantgrain, the Dark Kworgs assassin.

Many songs and poems have been written about this legendary fight. The duel, which could stop every fight all around the land, because the focus of every warrior was concentrated on this event. One of the three Argerrians, who survived, brought the news about this huge duel to his people. The story about the death of their hero Gartenian and general Faertenien too, became the tool of propaganda for the next Kworgs campaign and the power of the Argerra Kworgs revenge, which, as you suspect, did not come true and died with the king of Argerra in the huge and scary battle of Kurchitar.

Gartenian was a great warrior and champion.All the Kworgs knew his deeds very well. His reputation extended far beyond the boundaries of the Argerra. Also the Farseas, the Elves, the people and another nations showed respect to his name.

Rantgrain, his enemy in this duel, was also very famous warrior with the negative reputation. He was especially the assassin and the spy, who killed many famous warriors in many battles. He used all the possible tools to meet his mission.

Both men met once already It was seventy years ago before the Irrnon-Sol Terrat events. Those days, at the battle of Astirinaian pillars, Rantgrain killed the commander of argerrian army, Aroentan, to meet at the end with Gartenian, who became the new commander of the army and wanted to revenge the death of his general. But that fight ended inconclusively, as the whole battle too.

It was the fate, by Irrnon - Sol Terrat they met together again. But this time, Gartenian fought his last fight. And our last vignette shows just this duel.
