    How do you like my new Roy portrait? I always liked the Byzanitne Imperial Crown. Here's the old one, for comparassion: The new one has two varaiations, possesed by the Binding Blade and broken:

    Oh, well. So it was the other way around. Ok, so she might not be Archsage, but how I see it, is that her sons follow her, more like two apprentices than anything. It's relfected in the robes - Nino is blue - like between the white of Lugh and deep purple of Raigh. Thet are trying to stop the apocalipse after all. And here you have my rendition of the BBQ theme Arvis theme as the Royal March. It's quicker and with much higher pitch, so less depressing and more valiant and majestic. Import to FEeditor to hear. song2E.s

    Here's a map I made very quickly to explain what I mean. I think that I'll be forced to explain the whole Nino's storyark in order for you to understand what I have in mind... (I consider Jaffar as the 'canon' match and The Elibean Nights as my 'headcanon') She spent some time with Pent, and learning how to read isn't so hard. Let's say she was 14 during FE7, so let's say she got pregnant when 16, and gave birth as 17. (Still chldren abuse, FE is f*ed up). Then she run away. So we have three years for her to learn how to learn and write. That's more than enough. No need for this beyond the ocean. And she didn't just run away. As she begin to study Athos's works (which, of course, Pent had) she learned about the power of dragons and yadda yadda history, the Scouring, etc. She become facinated with the might of the ancient dargonkind. So, she travels to the west in search of the dragon veins, and leaves the children with Jaffar. But she never returns. So, Jaffar decides to search her OR vanishes (I didn't decide yet) and the children are put in an orphanage. (Best parents ever) All this time she was studying knowledge so ancient, that it'll blow your mind how ancient it was. She experiments on herself , gaining a partial holy blood dragonblood, thus boosting the ability to use any magic. Basially, she becomes some kind of a druid of sorts, more atuned with the nature. She also reads all the Athos's works. After FE6 events she sends a signal to Lugh and Raigh to find her. When they arrive, she explains that all these years she was preparing to stop the impending doom, as the history has already been written. She also takes the Archasge mantle. Basically, she was studying magic incessantly 25 years, alone in a primal, untouched by man land. She is like Yoda now. (not age, though) A hermit living somewhere and possesing immense knowledge after having nothing else to do. Also: You will never have less girls running after you than our sexy king Milidain:

    Lugh mentions in his support with Milady, that both parents were dead. Feather... Well it was ment to be some gray hair... Whatever. Also, the blue cloak is staying, and that's why: Is he really? I'm not sure if he is feeling so good, mr. Stark. Maybe? I might work for a bit. Less wrinkles you say... Also, fresh new, straight from factory: Jeff, who is traing very hard to be generic. He fails, anyway, becouse of his nose. Thorne, marquess Thiria.

    I am still only making portraits now. Monkeybard's is in the 'All animations repository' (or whatever it is called, surprisingly has also all the portraits and includes some form the community) so I need to give credit, of course. The second one I found on the internet, so I would need to contact the marker. But, provided that Lyn is still considered as if she will be even alive, I'll do it when I decide to put it in the hack. Anyway, an important question. I'll ensure no 'laws' (even making hacks is kinda illegal) will be violated.
  6. Jey the Count
    And? What do you think? Nino and family. I know that Nino is supposed to be dead during FE6. But I can't believe, that one of the most potent mages in existance would die of a simple ilness or attacked by bandits. I say she left her children on purpose and they were only told that she was dead. I already have in mind why she would do it, so don't worry. Do you want to hear why? Or no spoilers. Do you like these portriats?
  7. Jey the Count
    Bunch of new stuff: I don't know who is it. Certainly not Lyn. She looks older now, with darker hair colour, and smaller eyes. Echidna, as the Lady-Regent of the Western Union. And this guy. Do you recognise him? You should. It happens as he is knida imortant now. I don't know. Looks kingly, though. Also, beaten-up Klein. Not final.
  8. Jey the Count
    The Lion of Pherae is back... if only for a one chapter.
  9. Jey the Count
    Aaaand! What do you say? I tweaked the haircolour for a bit, becouse whole army become magneta out of an instant.
  10. Jey the Count
    So, there's this: And, there's Galahad. You know, he is made to be this 'prince charming' in his own opinion. Hope you don't kill me. As you proposed, I made dark violet-magneta the colour of house Araphen. It looks nice.
  11. Jey the Count
    And? what do you say? Father and son, side by side.
  12. Jey the Count
    Yes. I am copletely aware of the character of 'old' marquess Araphen. I tried model the nose after him, but maybe I failed miserably. The relation plays major role, mainly in supports, btw. I just made up the colors. I'd like to give every marquessate one (yellow for Laus, turquise for Araphen, dark green for Ostia, blue for Pherae, dark pink for Caelin and so on). Also, Gren is burned on the face, not scared. Thank for advice for the colours. I tried to blend the grimmer aesthetic of FE8 with the more clourful of FE7 and especially FE6.
  13. Jey the Count
    Jesus Christ when did I say that Theodore is the son of Roy? He is the Marquess Araphen. Roy's son is the v-[Blam! Spoilers!] I think I'll need to rework Theo the most. Thanks for feedback. And, yes, making the eyes is a pain. They never look right.
  14. Jey the Count
    Portraits of the first five characters you'll get: Theodore, the protagonist; Gren, the Jagen-Ranger; Galahad, the loyal knight; Gerard, the merc; Elizabeth, the creepy cleric. The tourqise colour is the colour of Marquisatte of Araphen.
  15. Jey the Count
    I'll strugle. But do not expect it too soon. Or not too soon. You'll see it when it's done :). Currently I am working more on spritework and overall design. But I have the whole storyarc already created. All three 'big chapters' to be exact.
  16. Jey the Count
    Thanks for following! If you have any questions or want to contribute in any way, I'd be glad to respond.
  17. Jey the Count
    So, well. I finished making the main story. If anybody is interested still.
  18. Jey the Count
    OK, today's update will be focused on the new crew and some changes in the situation on Isles. Erik is back to the grave officially and he is now replaced by his son Darius. So, we have a twins. About the main cast: - Theodore, marquess of Araphen. His father died in defense during the war (it was where the main battle happened, after all). He is a righteous person, although hotblooded and quick in anger (he disregards Roy's orders not to attack Laus forces). He is the main lord; - Galahad, armor knight of Araphen. Valiant and courageous, also cheerful. As a squire he was given the task of being Theodore's retainer. Cares deeply about his friend and tries to shake off the bad image Theodore has about his father (he never loved his wife because, as you may recall from FE7, he was in love with Madelyn, but she left him for Hassar); - Gren, cavalier of Araphen, rescued Theodore form the onslaught during the war and now serves him. Loyal to a fault, always does his lord's biding. - Gerard, Illian mercenary. Used to be a brigand attacking villages in the borderlands between Illia and Sacae, but was later shown the right way by an unknown person calling himself 'the protector of Sacae'. - Jeff, the thief. Old friend of Gerard, and a spy for Lilina (as she continues the tradition of training spies). Doesn't like to socialise. - Elizabeth, the cleric of the Church following the red way. Likes to squabble and is sometimes really creepy. She cares not for fighting in the front lines. The Isles situation. I decided to make 'treaty of Jutes', that happened after the war and gived independence to southern Fibernia as welt to Caledonia, although some port cities still belong to Eturia.. Ekhidna is the regent of the newly-establighed Western Union and works toward normalization of the relations between them and Eturia. The rebel groups are still operating in the unreleased territory and they are unrecognized by the Western Union's government. Kinda Ireland situation.

    So, there is a draw. I have the idea to give Daria a twin brother nad for him to be the true son of his father. Depends what do you think is better.
  20. Jey the Count
    A quick poll. https://linkto.run/p/S9UYBN1R
  21. Jey the Count
    Nothing special today, just a small thing I am working on.
  22. Jey the Count
    Nope, I was just wondering. Did Nintendo had a plan for what's there, that got scrapped or is it just an error that nobody noticed. Also, the Mongolians are already here, so I have no idea who might come form there. Chukchi? Let me explain this whole dragon buissnes. Dragons are, what connects the universe of Fire Emblem. In Archanea, you will hear about struggle between Naga and Grima. In Jugdral, there is the Naga bloodline. In Elibe, we hear about the infighting between dragons. Why do you dislike the idea of secret cults worshipping them? Obviously, everyone know about their existence. It's nearly canon, that Roy is the son of Ninian, thus having the dragonblood. You cannot plain say no, I don't like this, because it doesn't fit into my point of view. Story will progress as time passes. I don't want 'The Force Awakens". I want 'The Last Jedi" (minus the decadent vibe of cousre. Roy is not going to toss The Sword of Seals away. Do not worry). I seriously don't know why are you hating this so much. Everyone else seemed to like the idea a provided some constructive critic. For example, DarthR0xas helped with the Klein situation, making the story better in progress.

    I used my spidersense to infer that we might have a little stalemate here. Let's face it: We are having different views on what we would like to see in this hack. Let me present my point of view clearly and than, without pointing out what you don't like, you will present yours. I am open to a discussion after all. Let's stop rehashing old points as you already noticed. The story of FE6 is over. Zephiel is dead, dragons are defeated and peace returned. But really, after playing the game, through I was left with so many new questions. What happened to Idoun? Did she restored her soul at last or is she still a empty husk? What is the real future of islands? Are they free now? How will Lycia rise itself form ashes? Will the marquisate system be restored after all its failures? And most important of all - will Yoder marry Niime at last?! (just joking). I wanted to see more. So, I began to make a hack. But, you cannot go infinitely on fanservice and making a cameofest. That was my first error, quickly corrected with adding multiple new characters. I needed a new story, still. At first, inspired by my ultimate hero Chingis Khaan, I wanted to go with the 'rise of Sacae' kind of story. But that seemed dull. The second idea was: 'Civil war in Lycia'. Then I imagined Roy fighting Lilina. And that was so unrealistic, I quit after about ten minutes. Then I thought and thought and thought. I don't want to spoil too much, but my intention is as follows: - Some marquesses are dissatisfied with the rule of Roy and long to the days of the League. - The Erik uprising, one prologue chapter, resulting in the main hero being put in charche of Laus. - One sect of the Old Believers (kinda Jews of that world), finds out that Roy has dragonblood and think that he is the Messiah. They will try to capture him for some shaddy ritual of bringing dragons back. (next few chapters are focused on taking them down - true first chapter bandits style) - Theodore will track down the group to their centre of operation on the Isles and surprise - surprise, he finds himself in the middle of a rebellion. - After finding the truth, he returns home to warn the king. There is a cliffhanger, because the first act ends here. - No more spoilers. I'll leave you with one photo only. Why there is no eastern coastline on any of the official Elibe maps? Now it's your turn. How do you see it? Also, I was joking with the hussars. Of course they can be ballanced out. But there is a different problem with historic hacks - the warfare tended to focus on a large scale and I cannot Imagine making the Sobieski's thousnads of hussars into a ragtag band of maximum twenty characters (on one map, it's maximum) and destroying turks by themselves. It doesn't work fine.

    Ok. One by one. This is a new story. New characters. New generation. The previous cast serves the same role as the FE7 cast in FE6. They are mentioned, they appear sometimes. But they are not the main emphasis of the story anymore. OK, you convinced me.That was not a brightest idea. Through the power of fandom, the tuberculosis epidemic never happened! But I always seen Sue as an orphan, since she never mentioned her patents, only grandfather. I donno. Maybe you have some good idea. You misunderstood me. I never wanted to make Priscilla female Raven. What I say is that she will talk about him and his pointless vendetta with a sad smile. You know, she's 46 by now and some time has passed. Also, Roy made her marquesses back in order to show how of a good king he is. I can make a gaiden chapter, where you can kill Erik as many times as you want. That's a funny idea. Back to the topic. Yes, he has no redeeming qualities and even Roy states this in the second chapter. But outright ending the bloodline is a terrible idea. So, Roy lets him be the old babbling crazy man he is. But, to make things right he takes marques Arphen to mentor his daughter to be a good next marquesses. There is no alt story here. I just continue the history shown in previous games. There are some retcons, there always are. Like how many times did Star Wars retconed itself. It's really hard to measure. It's not like some of the information from FE6 isn't already retconed. Take for example Athos death. I want to build a new story. Aaand about the religion. Who says, that the division happened during these ten years? It's not like the church was flashed out a lot in previous installments. I just fill the gap with my ideas, so that the world get some colours. Still, Elimne church has no real rituals or sacred books. They are just people that follow different paths to a happy life. Also, winged hussars are like that OP and playing them would be no fun.
  25. Jey the Count
    Oh, well. I respect your opinion. You are missing some points, though. Most of the cast form FE6 are not returning in any way. I only cowered the fates (jeez, how I hate this word :-D) of some characters, because they are imortant to the story. What is Elen, your healer from FE6 doing now? I donno. Maybe she is living in Bern. Maybe she died. Maybe she travelled to far lands. That's not important, because she is not important. Every character that was mentioned will appear in some way. I always thought about Lyn as dead in FE6. Noone even mentiones her. It ties kinda good with her character. She lived a short, but full life. Like a 80's rock star. (I know she wasn't even planned back then, but just to make the point.) Raven, well Raven is dead for Pricilla to smile sad and say some things about vendetta. Klein is a different story. His death is crucial. I may quote the ending of his storyline, if you want so: Klein put down his bow and became a ambassador for Etruria, using his charisma to settle many foreign disputes. While he was in office, he ensured all nations prospered as Etruria did. He become an abassador and worked for the prosperity. Since the Isles were still under Eturia boot, it's natural for him to go there to lower the presure. Then! He gets captured, tortured and ultimtelly killed. He was innocent, he did't hurt anyone anymore, he wanted to make things right. But the rebels don't care. They never do. His death is a moral question. Look at this like that: A. The Islands are opressed. B. Eturia is the opressor C. Klein was killed brutally D. Does being opressed give the Islnders the right to kill innocent man with such cruelty? E. Are they terrorists or freedom fighters? The same question but the other way around was posed in FE6. It was: Are Eturians (our allies) opressing other people and do they have a right to? Well, Marcus can be the old guy from supply. Not a bad idea. I just assumed he was dead because of old age. About the religon. Yes, Elimne was indeed fighting the dragons. She was treated as a holy person and left behind many parables and other teachings (the story of owl and eagle for example). She created a religion out of this. You must remeber, that Scouring happened one thousand years ago. That's a lot of time. You might be aware how much did, for example, Christianity change in the course of it's first thounasd years. A lot. That's the point. After Elimne has passed away (or was taken to heaven), other preachers took her place. They expanded her teachings and added their own. That's how religion works. That's how, for examle, different schools of Islam work. Erik. He is a ruined man. His whole adult life centred around his vendetta. Put yourself in his boots for a second. A war came. Your whole army was annihilated. Your only choice was to surrender to the enemy. You never really like the other lords, anyway. Your father once told you that yours house should rule Lycia. Then, he died for his ideals. You always treated him as somebody great. And then you get beaten by a sixteen-year old boy. What is more, he is a son of your archnemesis. Then, that boy not only unites Lycia and leads the Eturian army, he wins the goddamn war and the, this boy, this little child crowns himslef king! He thinks that he, he is better suited to rule the land than marquesses that did it for past thousand years. You cannot watch it passively. There is not return for Erik. He simply cannot lifem even if he is aware, that his principles are wrong. But his daughter can be different... And the last one, about the well-established world. Well... I am a history passionate. So expect more of this bullshit. I'll try cut it to minimum, I promise. If you have any further questions or crictice, please feel free to share it. It helps a lot.
