Update on my last post:

F.Y.I. Now, I do not play AFK Arena, but sometimes I do read the wiki for the lore. So take any references I make to AFK Arena with a grain of salt. If someone who does play AFK Arena finds any inaccuracies, please comment below. AFK Arena has a similar, but still different lore from AFK Journey. (Ex. Nara remembering Sonja or not)

Note: When I refer to Myrddin, just know that Myrddin is the Welsh version of the name Merlin, so you could say they all share the same name.

Similarities between AFK Journey Merlin and AFK Arena Merlin

Now that I review Merlin from AFK Arena's wiki I actually see that he could fit as one of the first, if not the first Merlin.

I can't find many direct similarities between AFK Arena Merlin and AFK Journey Merlin, but I do see (this is a stretch) that they appear to have similar personalities.

Merlin (the one we play as) in AFK Journey, based on the responses we can make, seems to have the personality of a wise yet somewhat humorous person. Sometimes straightforward and purely logical (Telling Berial eating hamster meat is unhealthy when he threatens to eat Chippy, saying they're the only one who can help with the corruption in the Dark Forest while overworking themselves, etc), or make jokes or jabs with light complaints (Just read their responses with the guy who is unable to pack his stuff lol, and their clear want for a vacation).

Merlin from AFK Arena also seems to be wise, yet witty. He is very logic focused and does what must be done. In the wiki, it states, "Uther was smitten, swept up by a spell Merlin cast upon him to sow the seeds of love. The fact that Uther felt compelled to have Igraine was a source of deep sorrow for Merlin. Yet, the prophet had already glimpsed fate: only the master of the sword in the stone could lead the divided people to peace, and that man was Uther Pendragon’s son." He ignores his own sorrows and the misfortune that will fall upon Igraine's family and does what fate demands by casting a spell on Uther so the child would be born. This also shows some self-sacrificing nature, like when Merlin from AFK Journey overworks themselves to help stop the corruption in the Dark Forest.

Now, I still firmly believe these two Merlins are not the same person, but I find it curious how they seem to relate.

Similarities between Myrddin the Welsh Legend and Merlin from AFK Arena's Story (They are Practically the Same)

Merlin from AFK Arena tutors Arthur Pendragon. In the wiki, it quotes, "When the destined King, Arthur Pendragon, was born unto the world, Merlin took him from his scheming father to protect and tutor Arthur until he finally succeeded the throne, uniting the divided country." Myrddin from the Arthurian legends acts as a mentor figure to Arthur, also raising him away from his parents. Further deepening the connection between Merlin and the Welsh Myth(s). Referencing to this quote again, "Uther was smitten, swept up by a spell Merlin cast upon him to sow the seeds of love. The fact that Uther felt compelled to have Igraine was a source of deep sorrow for Merlin. Yet, the prophet had already glimpsed fate: only the master of the sword in the stone could lead the divided people to peace, and that man was Uther Pendragon’s son." Myrddin also casts a spell on him in the myth. It is at this point I am realizing that these two are probably supposed to be the same. From the Duke of Cornwall, Igraine, Uther, and Merlin, the myth all seems to line up almost exactly like the Arthurian myth.

Overviews

I would write more but I'm too tired right now because I spent too long trying to find connections only to realize they aren't just connected, but almost the same. However, there is something I've noticed about Vivienne, she not included in the Arthurian legend. She is implied to be the daughter of Igraine and her first son, the Duke of Cornwall, Gorlois. Though, in the myth, Igraine and Gorlois' children are Morgause/ Morgawse, Elaine and Morgan. Her name is eerily similar to the name Vivian, which is one of the names of the Lady of the Lake. I'll have to write more on that later.

not exactly new but here's a Mirael in the meantime

[frugalkubal]

I just started playing AFK Journey! ✧⁠◝⁠(⁠⁰⁠▿⁠⁰⁠)⁠◜⁠✧ I was drawn in by the art style; it's absolutely pleasing to my eyes. (⁠✯⁠ᴗ⁠✯) I've been delaying with the challenges/missions bc I kept wandering around, admiring the landscape art; basically just dilly-dallying for aesthetic pleasure. ♡ lol

I named my character Gavene. I think it's obvious why I named him that. (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

Dislyte just needs to release (1) new black girl unit for my hyperfixation to return tbh

[m0thisonfire]

Honestly the only thing giving me hope that Vedan and Isabella will be added to Afk Journey is the fact Silvina is in it, and seeing other characters from Afk Arena being slowly implemented is leaving me like

Its only a matter of time

Niru is in the game, so I'm willing to bet Shemira and Daimon are on their way as well.

Brutus is there, so Khasos might be added.

Thoran is in the game, so I'm holding out hope Grezhul gets added.

Rowan and Hogan are in the game, so Angelo and Morvus are on their way too.

Mirael? Raine and Fawkes have a chance to pop up.

I am holding out hope, I have to, I gotta, I need to see all my favorites back with their unions.

Until then, I gotta play the game and just sit here with all these characters without their counterparts

SOON. SOON MY FAVORITE UNION WILL BE COMPLETE.

I’m greatly concerned that the patch notes say the event backtrack gave Truth Unveiled an “improved ending”. What the hell did they do
