Today saw the release of the latest Darkfall Warcry Dev Journal, which dealt specifically with our beloved Mirdain. We’re especially excited to see pictures of Mirdain in action, along with the mysterious (and controversial) Aerdin Cats.

The information in the article wasn’t terribly novel; we’d seen most of it before on the Darkfall website. Still, there were some bits that were completely new:

Trouble also brews in the heart of the forest, where a circle of fundamentalist mirdain druids called the Forest Prophets have taken up arms against the Republic. In their desperate quest to return the Mirendil to its pristine, pre-civilization state, the Forest Prophets have resorted to casting terrible spells on the animals which they originally set out to protect, turning them into curse-crazed monsters which are sent to rampage through mirdain communities.

We haven’t seen any word on whether these “Forest Prophets” are the same thing as the “Ciel Fey,” the anti-progress, anti-Mirdain-republic religious zealots who will also, apparently, be killing us on sight. I’m curious to see just how hostile a place Mirendil turns out to be for the Mirdain, between the Oaklords, the Forest Prophets, and their minions.
