In the end of the short Drachenfels trailer (this one) there’s a shot where you see the U5 from behind as they face Drachenfels castle (at ~0:37s).
I thought this was a pretty neat shot, and hoped to use it as a desktop background. Problem is, I just don’t know how to get a nice resolution shot extracted from the video. I tried this tool from some program called Kapwing, but the extracted image was actually worse than one I got from a PrintScreen screenshot…
This is the best one I managed to get in the end (if anybody cares):
Maybe @Fatshark_Hedge can find a still from the trailer for us. It is an amazing pic, I’d love to have it as a back ground as well. Hedge, do you guys have any plans to release any Drachenfels related backgrounds like you did with WoM?
Even as Handmaiden, Kerillian still isn’t suddenly one of those snobby Ulthuani. I believe the explanation was that she discovered a shrine of Isha and dedicated herself to her service, or something. So: still an Asrai barbar. Similar story for Shade.
That’s the updated version yeah. If I remember correctly - originally the Everqueen spoke to Kerillian in her dream and set her on this path of a Handmaiden, fighting the Chaos in her name in the Old World.
Still and Asrai though this is the closest this I’ll ever get to the true elves of Ulthuan in Vermintide.
There is still hope for her yet, abandoning these Asrai traitors to the Phoenix King and returning to her rightful place in Ulthuan.
I’m not really sure why FS changed the story behind her handmaiden career. I guess it was way too controversial. Same goes to the Shade “backstory”
True Phoenix King? That one turned out to not be a High Elf either, if I recall the plot twist right. Anyways, in the end all those elven twerps ended up first fighting each other, and then the remaining ones flee to Athel Loren, where the real elves live.
Don’t blame me. When I found out about that whole “End Times” mess (years after the fact) it felt like Games Workshop took a dump on my childhood as well. Hope they retcon that junk when they reintroduce Warhammer Fantasy in a few years. Best explanation is probably that the U5 whacked Archaon before the whole nonsense got to start proper.
Also an option, but there was an absolute mess of inane plot twists and killing off of stuff before that point which I’d like to see retconned as well.
