A song that speaks of new adventures, new companions, and new encounters. Do you know how to ride a dragon? [i]Nobody does, until they ride one.[/i] Welcome to our new appointment with the [b]State of Eudros[/b], our summary with the latest news from the world of [i]The Bloodline[/i] and glimpses of what's cooking! 🥘 [h2]IN THE LAST MONTHS [/h2] Despite the summer break, the work on [i]The Bloodline[/i] has not stopped at all, and during [url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1159290/view/4185612701678875302?l=english]June[/url] and [url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1159290/view/4255420398707804735?l=english]July[/url], two updates were released to improve your adventure in the kingdom of Elderheim. While helping Miles gather all your reports, he and his family took the opportunity to meet the HOOK team during their vacation in Italy! We finally got to meet little Arlo, The Bloodline’s first fan ❤️ [h2]NEW UPDATE INCOMING! [/h2] As mentioned above, the work on The Bloodline certainly hasn’t stopped, and a [b]new update[/b] will be released [b]very soon[/b]. Get ready to wield a new weapon and transform into the bard your D&D party has always wanted: the [b]lute[/b] joins the list of weapons available in The Bloodline 🪕 Lutes make use of "Spellsongs", which can be found hidden throughout the world. Play spellsongs by equipping a lute and blocking to enter strumming mode. Here, you can play notes to cast spellsongs! 🎶 [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35926972/594be4daea5881a9c4b30287aedc65f97bf2c379.png[/img] Joining you in your adventure will be a new companion, a [b]wolf[/b], and new mounts that can carry you across the kingdom. A [b]griffon[/b], named Skysong by the locals, flies high above Whitebrook Haven, searching for its long-lost master. It sings out, waiting for its old master to join in its song. An ancient, dying [b]dragon [/b]guards an ancient egg. Only one deemed worthy of raising such a beast can claim the egg for themselves. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35926972/31cc6179d6ba5e591de3078a8a9a76f92150d522.png[/img] Eudros is evolving, and something new has appeared: A [b]legendary Frostforger[/b]—masters able to shape Frostvein Ore with ease—has now made their home within the Gin Badur mine at Whitebrook Haven. A towering, [b]sentient Dwarven statue[/b] tirelessly hammers away at its anvil, forging molten weapons in an unending cycle underneath the Molten Crag. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35926972/f77ef59deb82407aae418725c26a1c412698006b.png[/img] You'll also find [b]new questlines[/b], new [b]encounters[/b], and over a dozen [b]new weapons[/b]. Miles has also [b]reworked the Overworld encounter system[/b]. Now, Overworld encounters such as combat encounters will no longer immediately draw you into a fight. Instead, you'll have options for how you want to deal with the encounter. The success of each option is dictated by various skill levels, your current mount, etc. For example, if you're attacked by a pack of wolves, you can use your Druidism level to attempt to calm them and avoid the combat encounter!

To stay in the loop with smaller and constant development updates, you could follow Miles on [url=https://www.tiktok.com/@shieldbearerstudios]TikTok[/url] and [url=https://x.com/ShieldBearerDev]X[/url], where he posts regularly. If you want to chat directly with him, you can join the [url=https://discord.gg/the-bloodline-615569967588573194]official Discord server[/url], which is also the best place to share your suggestions and feedback. The world of Eudros will continue to evolve, and we hope you're enjoying this adventure with us ⚔️
