Creepy's Cosmetic Alterations / Old Ashes Logo Animated (updated 11/19)
I've been working on taking some of my favorite cosmetics and making them more lively. I wanted to give a sense for how they may look in-game or if a different color variant ever appears for sale in the in-game store. Lately I've been experimenting on animating some of these and this is the end result.
The horse mount is the Steed of the Frayed Copse from October's cosmetic pack. The second image is the old Ashes logo.

Re: [Megathread] Dual Shields and you
It's great that people are so passionate about this topic, but personal attacks and turning the thread into a pointless flame-fest is NOT. Consider this a warning to all, debate and discuss the topic by all means, but keep away from the petty insults. I will be monitoring this thread carefully and if the attacks continue, I will close it.
Visualising Information
I like infographics, so just wanted to try and organise info into a visual format. Also, it's a way to highlight just how good IS's (concept) art is.
Attribution: individual, source images (characters, environment backgrounds, creatures, pets/vehicles, equipment, icons) are created and owned by Intrepid Studios and text is sourced from the AoC Wiki (https://ashesofcreation.wiki/). Some other images may be stock images sourced online that I've then either used or modified.
AOC-THEMED D&D CHARACTER SHEET CONCEPT
Planning a D&D adventure in Verra?
The concept is to re-imagine the D&D character sheet by minimising editing to the details that change most often (e.g. HP, XP, inventory). This leaves other fields static in favour of a more vivid and graphical representation of the character than the standard black and white sheets for players to reference on the table top.
Of course, a level up would mean updating stats and reprinting, which I wouldn't mind if it's infrequent. Also, the concept could be adjusted to allow more fields to be edited.

Re: Chapter Two: Call of the Dragon
A few months have past by and spring has come to the land. Gone are all the white fields of snow, and the frozen rivers of ice. In place of the winter’s grip come green valleys and colors of the rainbow, as flowers and plants sprout from their deep sleep. The animals of the field are seen everywhere, as they take advance of the new growth of plants. Risen Guardians, Cinderhorn Seer and wild Bearded Balemane move in their common groups feeding on the fresh grasses, while the pack leaders keep watch from any danger that might come their way.
They are right to be careful, as a pack of Cursed Chargers creeps through the tall grass, slowly moving and eyeing their victims. Fresh meat is what‘s wanted, and this small band of four cats looks to have it. The chase is on as the call goes up in the different groups to run, as the Cursed Chargers rush in looking for the weakest in the groups. Quick lefts and rights all herds run as fast as they can, as each predator steers them into the second group of cats.
Watching the action from the safety of a tall hill, Ebrae sits on her Swift Claw mount, wearing her best greenish hunting spring armor, as it wants to join the chase down below. She pasts and rubs her mount, it has scaly tan skin with bluish stripes, now claiming it down to watch as the large cats take down a large Bearded Balemane. She knows there will be no hunt in the valley this day, as the Cursed Chargers have claimed the area for now. Looking over the large creatures as they feast on the flesh of the fallen, she sees glinting quills from tip to tail, and sickly dark bands marking the beasts. It’s been said these cats were cursed with magic from some crazed mage, but Ebrae never really gave it a second thought, only that these cats are very dangerous, and she knows to stay clear of them.
As the cats feed, Ebrae thinks back over the events of the mines, and the treasures found there within. She, of course, claimed her fair share of the loot, having to be part of the group with Henry and his friends. When the Orc king Rodagog came to take the claim with his people, she figures a war would start in those very chambers. But the Guild leader of Ravenslight came in too reminded them of their standing agreements, and everything went without more conflict between the two factions. Ebrae does know much about Orcs, but she does know a few clans have a deep honor system, and they don’t go back on their bonded word. After things were made clear, Richard lead the party back into the one treasure room, where Ebrae found a few items to keep for her own. Nothing of great power or wealth, but still added to her personal standing with her own people’s standards of living. She took just a few bags of coin and some fine jewels, along with a silver dagger she found. Again nothing special, but it’s something she mounted in her room next to her wood craved figures, something to remind her of the adventure she was part of.
Her mind drifts a little more, as the afternoon winds blow through her golden blonde hair, and her thoughts turn to Henry. A smile crosses her face, as she lets her mind dwell on him. For a human, she does find him attractive, but he doesn’t look at her in the same light. After all, there was Sarah, who jumps at the chance to take him as her own, but still, they are not bonded for life, and Sarah doesn’t look the type to settle down with any man. Still, Sarah returned to Fandralore with her and Henry’s friend Sam, keeping Henry close at all times, she even trains with him every chance she gets. Ebrae doesn’t like it, but she knows Henry needs to be with people of his own kind. But then there was that contact with her sister, he was supposed to pay back, and he tried to with his part of the treasure taken, but her sister Madris refused the payment. It was stated by Hagas he needed to do a few quests for her, and then the contract will be fulfilled. Ebrae voiced a very strong challenge to that contract, even saying it was fulfilled as agreed, but Madris only pointed out that one line. It stated as by the owner of this agreement, can it be broke after conditions are met. After a few more disagreements between all parties, Henry finally agreed and returned to the train until called.
The sounds of many riders come up from behind her, and Ebrae turns to see Ryfon riding up with a small hunting party. A few moans go up from the group, as they can see the game all scatter and the Cursed Chargers are still feasting on their meal.
“Well looks like we got here too late to the good spot, those cats have taken the day from us. “, says Ryfon.
Ebrae looks back into the valley, and her Swift Claw lifts its head back with a slight squeal, it wants to go hunt, and it doesn’t care what it will hunt. Ebrae pulls back on the reins to keep control of it and pats its side to clam it down. Then she turns to Ryfon with a big smile.
“There are other areas of good hunting my friend, we lost the best one, now let's take that next before we lose that one as well. “
“You take the lead milady, we will be right behind you. “, says Ryfon now watching Ebrae rush off on her mount.
He quickly rushes up behind her, as the others in the party quickly follow.
The sounds of pounding feet echo through the air, as the hunting party rides their swift claws to the next area to hunt for the game. Ryfon moves next to her as his swift claw grunts a few times. He knows there are a couple of good spots not far, and voices a few words to Ebrae about them.
“I think it’s best if we move to the grassy hills, we can always count on the smaller game there. “
: I know that’s a safer location, but I have a better area I have scouted out. There is a better game there, and no large cats to get in the way. “, says Ebrae as she quickens her mounts speed.
“Ok you have the point on this hunt milady, I will follow your lead. “, says Ryfon now pushing his mount to move faster.
After a couple of miles, the party fans out with a hand sign from Ebrae, as they found a new group of animals to hunt. A group of white stags with smaller deer are feeding in a small meadow, and the leader stag keeps watch over the flock. Ebrae spots him first, as she releases the reins to her swift Claw, signaling it to switch to hunting mood.
It lowers its body closer to the ground, as Ebrae now takes up her bow and arrow. Her mount moves from the quick pace it was on, to slow creeping motion in the tall brush. It takes very careful steps to not make much noise, as it moves closer to the heard. The lead stag turns its head with very large horns to look towards them, and the shift claw freezes in place behind a large tree, as Ebrae now lays low on the back of her mount. The large stag flicks its small tail a couple of times and then looks away as it hears a new noise off to the side. Ebrae seeing she has a shot taps the swift claw two times with her left foot, and it moves slowly to give her a clear shot.
She lifts her body up, with a bow in hand, and then takes careful aim at the large stag as she pulls back on the string. Her arm now has a warm tingling as she steadies her aim, like warm energy, now has taken control of its movement. With a small flick of the fingers she sends an arrow sailing through the air, and it speeds its way into the heart of the stag.
With its death cry, the heard now rush off, as more arrows fly, and Ebrae’s Shift Claw lifts up to rush forward as she takes hold of the reins. It stops next to her prize and it lifts its head up to let out a few short cries of victory. Ebrae wastes little time as she dismounts from her stale and then begins to gut the stag with a skinner blade. With the skin of a fine hunter, she slits the body to gain access to the organs inside, and she tosses most of them to feed her mount. She watches as it happily takes this offering, and she turns her attention to the approaching rider. It’s only Ryfon, who in turn looks down at her with a grin.
“Well done milady, well done! Looks like we have eight kills this day, and counting yours we don’t get to go home empty-handed. I must say yours is the best of the bunch, how did you do it with such ease? “, he says with a big smile now.
She looks up at him with questioning eyes and wonders if Henry would do better to come on this hunt as well. But he is in town training with Sarah and Sam, and out here he would only be in the way. She turns her attention to the large stag she just killed. Anyone else would have used three or four arrows to take down one so big. But she used only one arrow, and it found its mark right through the heart.
She finds herself rubbing the area of her arm that has a birthmark that looks like a dragon’s head. It’s not seen by others, as she keeps it well covered under her armor, but all the same, she feels warmth coming from that area, as it now fades as quickly as it came.
“Yes, Ryfon I do believe I have to best of the heard, now you should call for the wagons, so we can get our prizes home. “, she says with a smile.
She turns to watch the other Elvin hunts take claim to what they have taken down, as a cool wind blows from the west.
