Dear Dakka Fantasyans

This is officially launch of our first competition.


Task: Think of a name for the weapon held in the right hand by the magic lantern bearer (the photo below).

Historical Background of Weapon

This double-blade ancient weapon is used by kworgs for a very long time - since the first Illada wars – the Shadow Wars. It represents the two flames of fire built against each other (two blades) and initially, at the time of its inception. It has been a weapon of fiery Kworg guard. In the following millennia it have become a prolific weapon.

It was quite difficult to control it (especially because of the ancient Kworgs primarily worn decorative jewelery (crests) on the backs. They were called ‘Back-gems’ or ‘Back-crests’. These gems were quite light but usually large and complained efficient handling of the weapons.

Despite of this the Kworgs acquired great skill and control of this two-sided sword and become true masters. Later, however, their arsenal, including this weapon, has disappeared as Kworgs slowly took over customs and style of life of the humans.

During the Great War for the black rose their armor and weapons still carried elements of beauty and magnificence of the former Kworg noble-minded race but it was just a dim reflection of the great glory and splendor of past years. The split in their own ranks and their civil war have pushed Kworgs onto more pragmatic way and so this once famous war weapon have appeared only very rarely during the War for Kenakarra rose.

So much for the historical background of this weapon. We are already looking forward to the names you create for this weapon.

Vignette Historical Background

Today we uncover history shrouded with millennia in front of you. Yes millennia.

More than 15 thousand years before the launch out of the Great war for the Black rose had broken out great Kworg rebellion which resulted in a long fratricidal conflict. It had divided their nation once for all at the end. This war had given birth to a new realm of renegades who had been called the Dark Kworgs. More about this conflict can be found here.

Our vignette "In the Storm of Fratricidal War" introduces you to the scene of the first fighting in Riadenia - the Kworg capital.

The first figure is the officer from the king's personal guard - the Aldeasts. This warrior was honored to carry the magic lantern, one of the three lanterns owned by Kworgs. These lanterns served not only as supreme royal guidons but also had great power - while the soldiers carrying the lanterns, saw their lights like a blazing flame throwing around pleasant glow, enemies were dazzled by bright lights of the lanterns. It was impossible to look at.

The second of the figures is figure of king Abration in his in his majestic armor with stylized wings on his back. He participated in the fighting personally and led his troops against the rebels.

Come on, the countdown has started, you have five (5) days from now.
Good luck and many creative ability wishes you the incoming jury

Hi Dakka

Today we have a little surprise not only for future winners of our competition but also for all those who will buy our vignette ‘In the Storm of Fratricidal War’ in our campaign or later in our e-shop. If some of you were wondering why there is a blank space between the king and the holder of the magic lantern, here's the answer. This empty space is filled in with the figure of dead rebel and this figure completes the entire composition of the vignette. Winners of the contest receive this figure automatically. In the Indiegogo campaign this figure will be available as one of the first freebie stretch goals.

Dead rebel is secret for this time, but not for long...

End of the competition will come soon. So take the opportunity to get our vignette with a complementary figure.

Stay Tuned

Hi Dakka

Our second competition starts right now. As you probably know, your task is to draft a warrior of a race we will give you a Background to.

Complete rules of competition here:

http://www.realms-of-kenakarra-rose.com/2015/08/drive-up-indiegogo-pre-campaign-rules_28.html


Khabrags

Are strange forest creatures. They used to live in the Grokthar empire. They maintained bizzare relationship with them. It would probably be called symbiosis. There was a strange spring in the middle of the Kthuss forest. This forest was located in the interior of the continent. The stream had a very adverse impact on its surroundings. It transformed ambient plants and animals into very strange and difficult-to-use forms. For higher beings, such as people and other races, it was fatal.
The steam was very weak, it was no more than a small trickle. It was welling up very slowly and when it appeared two hundred years, it began to transform the forest in its area. Animals and plants mutated and became nasty, wild and unmanageable. Converted animals came out from the forest and attacked cattle and humans. On the other way it turned out that this water was very beneficial for someone.

They were Khabrags - the very special race of forest creatures. Their skin looked a bit like a little cracked bark but otherwise they did not look like trees. They were similar to people, they were also about as tall as people were but their internal anatomy was very different. They had a little bit longer and thicker limbs. These creatures were wandering the Illada searching for the "black water" as they used to call it. They were able to live without it was rather outliving.
While the ‘dark water’ was deadly and toxic for all other beings, it imparted great strength and ability to branch out much faster than without it. Just one sip of this liquid transformed each Khabrag from the crawling debilitated being into mighty form of life. They became full of energy with many special abilities. This effect lasted for many months.

Khabrags concluded an agreement with Grokthars. They were allowed to settle in the middle of the Grokhtar empire, I the Kthuss forest by the source of the dark water. In return the had to gather the water into tanks to stop the spreading of destruction.
Ghrokthars had tried to remedy the impact of it before but even vapors of the water had turned out to be very fatal many miles around the spring because the land was waterlogged.
Khabrags were the one and only creatures who were able to work well with the dark water even without their doom. They even got along with this dark liquid. They were able to control metamorphosed animals. The only problem was that Khabrags after ingestion of dark water (among other things) were expanded rapidly and there was no water for everyone soon enough. Some of them therefore had to move and look for another such spring in Illada.

If Khabrags had sufficienty of dark water, they were fearsome warriors. Their race was not exactly welcoming. Their substance was wild aggression. They created their own weapons and armor and they used the dark water as a chemical weapon in battles very rarely. There was always a great lack of water. Their cavalry used a mutated animals.


Now it's up to you.

Deadline - September 10th, 8:30 PM CEST

We are very curious if there are any daredevils among you who accept this challenge.

Go for it… and good luck in the competition, if you find the courage to participate

Dear Fantasyans


After a long and difficult deliberation, we have decided to delayed the start of the campaign

New start is determined by 48 hours later - to September 16, 11:30 PM CEST

There is still a real mountain of work ahead. We did not do absolutely everything we wanted to do – due to more than one-week delay thanks to some health issues – it still can be clearly seen.We ask all of you for your understanding. We want to be well prepared.

The vignette-diorama of ‘the Battle of Irrnon-Sol Terrat' is almost done, however, we will introduce it to you on Wednesday as part of the launch of our campaign. There is still some fine-tuning, taking photos of it and the graphic layout.

For finalization of the vignette "In the Storm of War Fratricidal" you will have to wait till the second half of the week. Within the frame of this showing we will bring you the promised WIP article on its origin during the campaign update. And – you can be sure - there is something to look forward to ;-).

We will be working on add-ons during our campaign. To its end we would like to have all the figures of campaign finished (all from the main menu), Borek even will take off for the next 30 days to work just on our project.

We will certainly not have the video trailer by wednesday. If we make it ready, we will add it into the campaign within. We are going to prepare the 360° videos of all finished figures and the whole vignette for sure. These videos will be published for the first few days of the campaign.

Complete Indiegogo campaign draft is here:
http://www.indiegogo.com/project/preview/b6a8df7a

Well, keep your fingers crossed. We are looking forward to you on Wednesday, September 16 at the launch of the campaign at 11:30 PM CEST.

We attach small Elrainia WIP and finished Stretch goals plates. Just before the start of the campaign we will put in finished figures instead of silhouettes and drawings.

New WIP - Fateful Combat Vignette

Cheers Daniela

Greetings to all!


We are sorry for the pause. The problems which we have forced and have had to deal with during last days are solved. It is unfortunately clear we are not able to succeed in this campaign. That’s why we decided to canceled it. It's just a formal act because of the IGG does not allow any cancelling. We will no longer update this campaign and so we ask any potential applicants to stop contributing.

The project does not end at all. However continuing to this campaign would run us out needlessly. It is necessary to concentrate on other things. It is crucial to sustain the project. We will try to gradually produce figures above all and offer them in our coming e-shop. We try to ensure stable and continuous production at least on a small capacity. At first we prepare the casting of our vignette ‘In the Storm of Fratricidal War’ which will be sent to the winners of the competition and then it becomes the very first product of our e-shop. Soon we will also introduce our Arkhareon club for customers of our e-shop and acquaint you with its advantages.


We will also redo our Arkhareon website in the coming weeks. This will be much more transparent and this blog (our blog) will become a real blog and the source of news. You will find all essential information, photos, stories and products just on company's website of the Arkhareon miniatures.

We will also continue with posting WIP updates of our figures on our blog and other forums. You can expect all the promised photos and videos of finished figures, WIP article and other things including brand new stuff, too.
Finally, we are preparing a new campaign, but it will be conceived differently. We will, however, tell you about that next time.

Thanks to everyone who spread our campaign and posted links and widgets to those who followed the campaign. Especially we would like to express our thanks to the one and only contributor for his following and loyalty. Thank you F.


Have a nice day

Daniela and the A-team
