Inoch, Guardian of the Seal

The Wanderer here, bringing you more juicy lore goodness. In this case, there’s a lot of wing juice, and the wing juice is blood. Follow the tale of the Harima, Inoch, a one-winged being who was thought to be an omen of the end of the Harima people and their temple, as he and his sister Dahlia attempt to flee persecution only to have to face fate.

As usual, I must remind you that I speak and read no Korean whatsoever, and have only managed to make something sensible out of the use of several online dictionaries and Hangul Romanizing applications.

Check out the full translation on the ArcheAgeRoleplay forum!

Kyprosa Daeior, Keeper of the Garden

The Wanderer is at it again, this time bringing us the translated story of Kyprosa Daeior, a healer and one of the twelve heroes who made up the first expeditionary force, as well as the patron of the Devotion skill set. Born to royalty but abandoned to her spiteful paternal grandparents, the story tells of how Kyprosa discovers the mysterious “Shadow Castle” – an alternate and contradictory reality – and turns her back on it. While there isn’t a great deal of factual information to be gleaned from this story, it does present us with one of the more fantastical elements inherent in ArcheAge’s setting.

Those who are interested in learning more about Kyprosa (and have the requisite skill points in Korean) can check out “The Fir and the Hawk”, ArcheAge‘s first novel.

As with his previous translations, we are again reminded that The Wanderer is only partially able to read Korean, and thus the accuracy of the translation is not guaranteed. It is, however, a great starting point while we wait for localization!

The First Expeditionary Force

Starved for some ArcheAge lore? Our very own The Wanderer has translated one of the stories from the Korean ArcheAge website. The First Expeditionary Force is a brief insight into the story of the twelve heroes who sought the secrets of creation two thousand years before present game time, when the races lived in harmony on the Continent of Origin.

Although The Wanderer reminds us that the translation is rough and Korean isn’t his strong suit, the translated version of the story is easy to follow and offers some great insight into the mannerisms of the world’s inhabitants. The Wanderer has also included footnotes elaborating on some of the translations and terminology used, and they’re a great source of information! Just remember: anything is subject to change in the localization process, but at least those of us who can’t make sense of the language now have something to sate us until then.

You can read the translated version of the story here on our forum.

Half-an-Hour of Housing Goodness

XLGames has been churning out quite a bit of information during CBT4, and the newest addition to ArcheAges youtube channel should be right up any roleplayer’s alley.

That’s right: we’ve got a whopping 34 minutes of player-housing goodness to drool over! Those familiar with the now-defunct Star Wars Galaxies housing system will recognize the housing-placement method, although XLGames has improved on the system considerably, now allowing you to see the physical house that will be built and even rotate it freely! Decoration also begins around the 28-minute mark, showing off some of the game’s variety in furnishings and the  freedom allowed when placing objects. It also seems that some decorating can be done outside as well, though whether that is limited to the holiday-themed decorations remains to be seen.

Take a look after the cut!
