Greetings Traveler
Thank you so much for… wait. What’s that up in the sky !? Is it… no… Could it be? The Tales of Alethrion sign lit up for everyone to see? Yes - it must be… The CALL TO ARMS! And YOU are our caped hero.
Now you must light your torch and run to the next town to spread the word. Alethrion is back
On another and less needy note - Thank you so much for being here with us on this campaign. With only three days left, we’re moving into the very last stages of the campaign.
Just a couple highlights of what has happened in the realms of Alethrion since last update.
Spotlight: Halima!
As one of the OG deities, Halima was one of the creators of Greed - although this wasn’t without reservations on her side... Her magical abilities are themed around fire, which brings warmth, destruction and creation. She is still remembered by her trusted followers who are mainly dog people. In the next episode “Ballad of Halima” you’ll learn more about her backstory and we can’t wait to show it to you.
We owe a great deal to our amazing fan and backer Bess Katerinsky, who’s not only been supporting us from the very beginning of the series here on Kickstarter, BUT also sent us the initial idea for the character.
We were so excited about Halima that we first made our end credits song about her - listen to “Ballad of Halima” on Spotify! - and now the excitement has peaked with us dedicating an entire episode to her 🙏
We’re also bringing in a totally new style to the series when we’re visiting the new mythological parts. You can see a shot from it here:
Bard News!
Besides the compilation video we also have great news for both new and existing players of our adventure board game!
We’ve made a tutorial (💥 with special effects ✨) for the board game - that we made in the previous Kickstarter campaign - and it’s coming your way tomorrow. AAAND we’re adding the physical game as an add-on to this campaign - so if you want a good deal and to join in on the fun, then get it before the Kickstarter ends on Friday.
That is it for today! Let the spotlight guide you through the dark times 🔦 We’ll be back before the campaign ends 👋
All of us here in the team are rapid firing high fives your way! Mikkel Mainz & the rest of the Tales of Alethrion team
It’s COMPILATION time!

Fellow Travelers!
We’re getting closer to the end of this Kickstarter campaign - so it’s compilation time 💃
In order to give the campaign a final push, this update will be about putting all of our previous work together in the hopes of inspiring you to also put in the last effort to get us to the next stretch goal! 🕺
It’s been over 10 years since we first came out with The Reward - and what a reward (😁✌️) it has been to be on this journey since then. This has brought 24 episodes of all kinds, a comic, an adventure board game, now a fan made video game on STEAM, songs, art books and several figurines - just to mention a small part of what has been created.

However, when introducing the series to new eyes, this also means that it isn't always easy to have a full overview of the storylines and the release order. SO! We’ve tried to make things a bit easier:
Introducing: The Tales of Alethrion Marathon (watch below)
It’s our take on an epic greatest hits album featuring everything from our favorite artist - ourselves (😏🤘). This is the order in which we would watch the entire series - that is not to say that this is the only or best way - feel free to watch and hear just as you want! You can also make your own playlist of the episodes like @BeKaterInTheSky did!
The order is: The Reward, Vito and Wilhelm's Logbooks, The First Hero, Thug's Life, Travelling Deity, Wilhelm's Curse, Outcast's Journey, Choose Their Path 01-14, Daughter's Revenge, Power of Resurrection: Part 1
Hope you enjoy it !
On another but exciting note - we have a treat for all our 5E fans!
Myrwoods is a brand new 5E setting sourcebook packed full of heroic treants and vengeful undead. Explore an ancient forest of magic, unearth forgotten secrets, battle dozens of undead creatures, and leave your mark upon the woods. Discover a wealth of new player options from brand new treant races to heroic new subclasses, mystical magic items, legendary upgradable relics, and much more!
Immerse yourself in a battle between nature and undeath inspired by the ethereal woods of Middle-Earth, dark creatures of Elden Ring, heroic atmosphere of the Legend of Zelda, and the legendary locations of the Arthurian Legends.
Once again thank for sticking with us throughout all these years - it would not have been the same without you <3

ADD ON: Dungeons of Alethrion video game!
7 months ago
– Tue, Apr 16, 2024 at 07:37:22 AM
Greetings Traveler!
In this update we’ll be focusing on the pixel action RPG video game “Dungeons of Alethrion” which launches on Steam TODAY!
THE GAME Embark on epic quests deep down in the dungeons with Wilhelm, Vito, Gaya and Tira! The monsters are everywhere and it’s up to you and your friends to use your abilities, potions, attacks and hidden items to get as far as you possibly can.
ACCESS We have added an OPTIONAL ADD ON to this campaign for the game. You can get the game at a discounted price if you add 10 EURO to your pledge. This is a 30% DISCOUNT from the price on Steam and it directly helps our campaign and reaching the next stretch goal. If you choose to get the game this way, you will, however, first get access to the game after the campaign is over. You can change your pledge and add 10 euro (there should be a little sign next to your pledge now).
Not matter the way - remember to let all of your friends know about this glorious new game in the Tales of Alethrion saga!

THE TEAM: All of the creatives on the game are beloved fans of Tales of Alethrion and know every little detail about it. So it’s safe to say that there could not be a better and more trusted team on this game. @Nicholas_Marinello is the game designer, who’s previously worked another game with us and helped us make the Tales of Alethrion website.The animator, @golden_dragonflies, won one of our previous drawing competitions, and musician @Flapjackage made our earliest 8bit music videos for the Tales of Alethrion YouTube channel. @Katecreations has made a lot of concept art and animations for the game.
Please leave a good review if you buy the game on steam. This would mean the world for us and for future game content and episodes ♥️
ON ANOTHER BUT GREAT NOTE ！ Remember to check out STUDIO BABA's debut graphic novel series! They’re back with a kickstarter for book 2 and their style is the perfect mix between modern and old-school - just the way we like it!
KINDRED HEAVENS - book cover
Created by Bryce Beal and Scott Malin, KINDRED HEAVENS is STUDIO BABA's debut graphic novel series. Each book will be fully-colored and at least one hundred pages long.
It is the early 1920s, and the world has been gripped by a new sport called "Windracing." Using Wright-Brothers-esque machines, people race around crowded streets, kicking up dirt and cramming their wings together as they all compete for the glory of being number #1. Right now, there are two companies who everyone in the world knows. PEGASUS, who created the sport, and CERBERUS, who plan to take it over…
Follow Isabelle Voit, heir to Pegasus, as she attempts to surpass her father’s legacy and cement her name in history by building something that will blow not just Cerberus, but the entire world away. Something that will change windracing forever. A jet engine.
Thanks for tuning in ✨ We’ll be back with more news soon. Be safe - be great!

Greed Spotlight + Alethrion's Bard News
8 months ago
– Mon, Apr 08, 2024 at 11:21:28 AM
Greetings Traveler!
What a pure treat it is to have you part of our journey. Here are some highlights of what has happened in the realms of Alethrion since our first stretch goal was reached a week ago!
Spotlight: Greed!
Greed comes in many different forms and sizes. It can be small, big and all-consuming - just ask Alethrion or Mik !
In the latest episode "Power of Resurrection: part 1" Greed has been borrowing (some will say possessing 👀) Mik's body. But finally defeated, Greed is now looking for a new host. So you better watch out!
Even us on the team can feel Greed sneaking up un us... Luckily, the next stretch goal for “Power of Resurrection: part 2” is getting close 💪
In "Ballad of Halima" you'll get to see the story of how the deities created the evil entity Greed in order to stop the world from self-destruction.
Below you can see Greed in its zero form. No host. Just a cute little fellow. Or so it seems 😏
Bard News!
We've gotten featured on Catsuka, which we're very proud of! For the ones who don't know Catsuka, it is a big french blog that features all of the coolest animation. Catsuka has been a champion since we started this series, and made awesome posts.
We are also featured on the front page of Newgrounds! Tom Fulp has been a true warrior over the years and is even featured as his mascot "tankman" in "The First Hero" episode.
We are making spotlights for the characters of Tales of Alethrion on our different social media channels, and have gathered a lot of epic clips from the series that we'll be uploading throughout the month. Remember to check it out 🦴
👾 The Dungeons of Alethrion game is released in a week's time (!!) and we are looking into how you as a backer of this campaign can get a special access. Can't wait for this to go live 👾
ALSO !
Check out the amazing campaign for MMANWU, an animated short film. More specifically, it’s a young adult, 2D animated short that mixes magical realism and horror to explore themes of grief, spirituality and cross-cultural understanding. They are only live for a couple of more hours - so you need to be quick if you want to be a part of supporting their project ✨
That's it for today! We'll keep regular updates coming. All of us here in the team are rapid firing high fives your way!
