Thank you so much! She is gorgeous (and judgmental) as ever ✨

What a wonderful day to admire Arenor's new portrait from Reforced version (after all these years? Always). I had to adjust a couple of headcanons, but it doesn't matter, I just love this tired, stern, grumpy lady, who clearly needs some rest and head massage. The tomb of the Fial Darg won't break if you allow yourself to relax a bit, High-Keeper. And this scar on her cheek... This detail pierces my stupid shipper heart. It's made to be gently traced with a finger, to be kissed, and no one will convince me otherwise. And don't get me started on these CURLS 😍

Anyway. I need to catch my breath before I faint, if you excuse me.

I invented a joke recently and can't stop laughing. You probably don't want to know it, but. Of course, Tahar is in love with Arenor. She isn't just a keeper - she is the High-Keeper!

Making up dialogues again, this one even seems deep. Maybe.

Kiroy Teranor

"Traditionally, the Falcon's recruits are chosen at the age of six - in other words, I've been in this desert for eighteen years. So I have experience".

"A sacrifice. He knew there was no time to seal the tomb manually, so he decided to act. Dutiful until the end". High-Keeper Arenor, SpellForce 3

During "Uneasy Alliance" we found Weyland Hallit half-dead in his camp (I send him and Sheyn Wulfgar both packing. It seems Purity had shown him no mercy, which isn't surprising). We tried to revive him, but didn't succeed, Weyland simply passed out again. Well, that was a chance for each companion to practice first aid, and for me - to listen to what they had to say while doing it... Tahar: Come on, don't die on us now! Yria: Now, now, don't die on me, will you? We need you. Isgrimm: Stay with me, will you? Ianna: Get up! Gor: Back on your feet, we need you! Uram: Blazes, get up, will you? Undergast: You cannot leave us now! Get up. Rohen: Don't die on us, friend! Just stay with me. Angar: On your feet, soldier. We're not done yet.

She says that people stare 'Cause we look so good together ✨

DM: A handsome woman in Falcon armour approaches your group. She seems to be the leader of their order - and she is clearly not happy to see you here... Tahar: I roll to seduce her! *rolls a 1*

Damn Bertrand, I will miss you for the rest of the game ;(

Corporal Tahar

"You... give people hope, I guess that's what it boils down to. You attract outsiders, and you get them to march under your banner."

Uram the Red, SpellForce 3

Katras Vir’Tarth

“I’m Katras Vir’Tarth, leader of the honorable Deathmen. Well, not really honorable, but you get the idea.” “There are worse ways of going out than three mugs of ale followed by a good fight, don’t you think? It was great knowing you, Tahar. Now let’s dance.”

Lady Myrah Emeline Utran

”She always wanted harmony, and whenever me and my sister fought, she was the one who made us see reason.” Angar Arandir, SpellForce 3

“I told her she had to toughen up and that a woman of royal blood shouldn’t behave like the miller’s daughter, playing witch and drawing pretty pictures. Of course, she never listened. And now, all of a sudden, that naivety, that optimism, that blind faith in the world, is gone. And... I miss it.” Arenor Arandir, SpellForce 3

Finally! I didn’t get very far, only started prologue, but... it was worth waiting four years. This game is amazing, I want to explore every corner of this world!

Phoenix Guardian

“It is time to put an end to this game! Here and now! Enough deceptions. Enough intrigue and betrayal! I will challenge this bastard! I will pursue him - and if I have to go to the bottom of Barga Gor!” Rune Warrior, SpellForce - Order of Dawn “You are the only one who can stop him now! It’s up to you, Stormbringer.” Uru, SpellForce - Shadow of the Phoenix

Queen Ayelith

Like a great thunder, swords, lances, banners and shields were dropped to the ground as both her followers and the rebels sank to their knees, like a wave of humility crashing over the ranks of men. And so, on this day, ten thousands of soldiers of the Northern Realm kneeled before their rightful leader. The line of Dragon Slayers had been restored, and even without the traditions, no leader would ever dare to rebel against the will of this first Queen of Nortander. Angar Arandir, „Dove and Sparrow“

But either way, it is through our failures that we learn. And sometimes, those who have been broken know best how to mend. SpellForce 3: Soul Harvest, Queen Ayelith

Alliance

When there is talk about love, it is not always possible to understand what is meant – exactly the same words can be said about the battle. “Fight”. “Conquer”. “Possess”. They say also, “All is fair in love and war”. Maybe that’s true, but Tahar has seen too many war crimes to turn her own heart and soul into a battlefield. Tahar comes to the Falcon fortress as an ally: the gate opens wide; the defenders lower their weapons, and silently, with restrained gratitude, look at her. They trust her, and this trust is worth more than many victories. In the fortress of Arenor’s body, she is also an ally - High-Keeper’s arms keep her safe as stone walls. This embrace is solid like steel in hand, hot like sand under the desert sun. There is still war, but they aren’t fighting. https://archiveofourown.org/works/20282026/chapters/86714731
