As Tarisland marches onward toward the extremely Wrath of the Lich King-esque Blight Dragon Elegy and its first proper season, Tencent is continuing to unveil the destinations players will find there. Today’s deep-dive digs into Scardino, which is not a nickname for a crime family but in fact is the icy continent on which the expansion is built.
Now, I must warn you, the whole post is written as lore, with some bizarre prose that the internet tells me is probably not AI-generated but my eyes can see is also not how English works, so maybe it’s just been machine-translated but not localized, which tracks with our experiences with Tarisland itself.
In any case, the gist here is that the Grenny dynasty was founded by a wizard named Auden 300 years ago; he built a sweet palace, had cute kids, and kept a nice library. Also he did some funky fire magic with dragon bones and so invented alchemy. But today, some jerk named Tizarro is in charge, and somehow 300 years later we’re talking about Auden’s daughter’s baby bump (how is she still alive? and why is her baby bump the curse of vengeance? why is any MMO talking about a baby bump this way?). I really can’t tell what’s going on here.
OK also there are pirate-vikings, and they’re real assholes, but the Auden family wrecked them and built the palace into an “impregnable stronghold” (ack, no, stop, you can’t say things like this after the baby bump debacle). But then Tizarro ruined everything with demons? Why is Tizarro even the regent now? The chronology here is missing some important events. Like, honestly, it’s lucky for this game that it’s pretty. Now if you’ll excuse me, Granny Scardino needs a drink.
