Hello, Vilous fans! As part of our hiatus updates, we are ready to bring forth more intermission art featuring these tense Northern soldiers after a Talyxian attack, from the Thekan region, as well as a yummy tidbit of lore tips with regard to tactics that combatant Sergals practice, alongside an artwork piece, previously provided over at Mick's Patreon, as well as a healthy and juicy chunk of lore spotlighting various viewpoints, written in a collaborative effort between Kiki, Coju, and Drago!

Please enjoy the newfound lore on this interesting and quite exciting scenery which the Talyxian biome nature, covered in purple grass display.

Race: Northern Sergals
Gender: Any
Place: Northern lands of Tal - A rocky, grassy, plains-like area located on a range next to the Eastern part of Astna from the Southern part of the Thekan region
Timeline: After year 28 of the Rain-Calendar, after the Shigu conquered Reono.

Here we have two Northern Sergals in armor, hiding in the shadows of the rocks in order to see what’s happening on the other side after they were pursued by some kind of Talyxian wildlife.

The Sergal at the bottom left can be considered to be a regular member of the Shigu army, due to the type of red tattoo they are sporting and is most likely to be a squad leader or some sort of an appropriate rank.

Because the distance between squads is quite open and vast, across wide ranges of land, when Sergals assume a scatter or dispersal tactic, it is assumed that they have lost contact with the other squads while tending to their wounded. The reason behind the injury is thought to be an attack by a Talyxian wild boar, which is one of the choices for their food sources, or other kinds of wildlife creatures which could be within their food source range. An alternative situation to their predicament, could very well be that they were caught up in a chain of continuous explosions caused by Odei out in the fields and suffered from shrapnel injuries and/or burns.

Though Thekan is a home to a number of characteristic, sessile Talyxian organisms including Odei, apart from those dangers, the biomes have a comparatively low mutability ratio and are generally static in nature. Due to this, these areas were one of the main places used to forage food that supplies the Shigu army after they had conquered Reono. This is partly because of the background in which the Shigu Kingdom was having major restrictions imposed on agriculture and the use of salt during this period.

As always, we're supplying extra content for Creator supporters to enjoy more thoroughly and in-depth, in advance.

Kiki's $5 Patreon supporters can peek and enjoy quite an amount of undecided and raw concepts, as pre-viewing and pre-reading for the ever so eager fans! Thank you! This time around, it is providing background situations of the artwork, how the chain of continuous explosions caused by Odei out happened like, and the newfound lore that might be considered most interesting, the fact of the Shigu history, the Kingdom was having major restrictions imposed on agriculture and the use of salt during the period.

The entry mentions more or less about that the creators can answer within a range of their recent situations. You may be wondering that fact full of unsolved mysteries, we may answer it, however, before a firmly decided lore is set in stone, there needs to be more discussion before publishing in full!

Kiki's Patreon subscribers can take early access to that raw concept that is still in the preparation stage!

We dearly hope you will enjoy this~!
