Shining Force World Book translation - part 5

Previous part here

Villain time. I’m getting deja vu.

Runefaust - Structure

The evil group clashing against the Shining Force

The Runefaust army planning to take over the world, led by Emperor Ramladu, is organized as seen in the diagram below. They have brought suffering to peaceful countries and also to the force standing against them. The five subordinates of Ramladu listed below are also all cruel and strong opponents!

Emperor Ramladu - Emperor of Runefaust [the diagram shows Darksol and Elliot under his direct command]

Darksol - Runefaust's advisor [the diagram shows Balbazak, Mishaela and Cain under his direct command]

Balbazak - General of the Runefaust Army

Commander of the Magic Beast Corps - {Priests, Hellhounds, Brass Loaders, Skeletons, Sea Bats}

Mishaela - General of the Runefaust Army

Commander of the Monster Corps - {Dullahans, Manarina Mages, High Priests, Horsemen, Belials}

Cain - Runefaust Army

Commander of the Silver Knight Squadron - {High Priests, Dullahans, Manarina Mages, Gargoyles, Golems}

Elliot - Runefaust Army

Commander of the Cavalry Corps - {Brass Loaders, Priests, Skeletons, Pegasus Knights, Lizardmen}

[Note: the Brass Loader was localized into Artillery in the english, and Priest into Dark Priest. The change in this last one is kind of interesting and happened with other enemies so i decided to not use the localized names and point it out.

Also, there's no enemy called Manarina Mage in any version. It's either a mistake or an implication that every mage you fight in the game is from Manarina, which feels kinda nonsense.]

A being completely shrouded in mystery!

Darksol Occupation: Runefaust Army's advisor Species: Unknown Gender: Male Age: Unknown Height: 236 cm Weight: Unknown Place of Origin: Unknown Starting Level: Unknown Starting Weapon: Unknown

The emissary of darkness who obtained Ramladu's favor and authority

One year ago, he suddenly appeared in the country of Runefaust, ruled by Emperor Ramladu, and became the real authority behind its politics and military affairs. There is pretty much no information on him, all that is known is that he is researching how to resurrect the incarnation of evil, Dark Dragon. While his whole identity is shrouded in mystery, there are rumors that he is capable of using the dark magic "Demon Breath".

The swordsman with a tragic past

Cain Occupation: Commander of the Silver Knight Squadron Species: Human Gender: Male Age: Unknown Height: 181 cm Weight: 83 kg Place of Origin: Unknown Starting Level: Unknown Starting Weapon: Unknown

The rumored strongest swordsman among Runefaust's knights

An amazing swordsman who hinders the force in their way, challenging them to battle. He hides a power representing darkness that is necessary to stop the awakened "Legacy of the Gods". He is caught up in Darksol's plan, being controlled through the power of a cursed mask, but in reality he is someone with a huge connection to the protagonist.

He has the Sword of Darkness, and ordinary swordsmen have no chance to put up a fight against him. Remarkable skill will be needed to defeat him.

_____

Dark mage of bewitching charm

Mishaela Occupation: Commander of the Monster Corps Species: Dark Elf Gender: Female Age: 198 years old Height: 180 cm Weight: 55 kg Place of Origin: Dold Forest Starting Level: Unknown Starting Weapon: Unknown

She attacks the force with high class techniques!

The Commander of the Monster Corps, she set off from Guardiana to monitor the movements of the Shining Force, by orders of her direct superior, Darksol. However, angered by the defeat of her "Marionette" built with a piece of her own soul, she went to face the force herself.

She's the only woman in the Runefaust army, but her magical power is among the greatest there!

A real soldier who stick to his principles of justice

Elliot Occupation: Commander of the Cavalry Corps Species: Dragonewt Gender: Male Age: 231 years old Height: 255 cm Weight: 324 kg Place of Origin: Garth Starting Level: Unknown Starting Weapon: Unknown

A brave commander who acts thinking of his country and people!

The highest ranking swordsman in Runefaust. Tales of his deeds as a soldier have reached all the way to the distant Guardiana. While he knows of Darksol's ambitions, he worries for the people in his country, and thus challenges the Shining Force to battle.

He is not a man of many words, but is a genius when it comes to battles.

_____

A bio-magical beast of unknown species!

Balbazak Occupation: Commander of the Magical Beast Corps Species: Unknown Gender: Male Age: 79 years old Height: 193 cm Weight: 206 kg Place of Origin: Surgo Starting Level: Unknown Starting Weapon: Unknown

Frenzied and merciless! A challenging powerful fighter!!

The Commander of the Magical Beast Corps, who fights with an artificial body, made several times stronger than a normal one by Darksol's magic. He came to Uranbatol, north of Guardiana, to support the invasion of West Rune building a fort. He is the strongest warrior among the Runefaust army's commanders, his fierceness in battle knows no bounds. Even his allies don't know how to deal with him.

[The other guide had no qualms claiming Balbazak was a human. But perhaps that doesn’t matter much anymore when you’ve become a bioweapon of the unholy sciences.]

Dwarves

Muscular warriors who attack with huge axes. Their distinctive beards grow independent of gender, and they strike with superior strength.

Snipers

Masters of the bow who shoot down their prey with surefire accuracy. Their precise, calculated attacks leave opponents at a loss.

Skeletons

Dead warriors brought back to life through magical arts. They attack with fast, hard to follow movements.

Huge Bats

Their strength lies in their fast movements and sharp fangs. They intimidate opponents with their huge wings, creating openings for attacks. Their area of action is very wide.

Dark Mages

Dark mages skilled with magic. Can cast high level spells with the staves in their hands. They have no physical strength, and thus only attack with magic, but since they can strike in a wide area it's tough to approach them.

Armed Skeletons

Skeletons of giants upgraded with machines. They've been remodeled for field battles. The strongest enemy soldiers, built by Darksol with technology of the Ancients.

[This is the only enemy here where I stuck with the localized name, because I can't make sense of their japanese name, ブローバー(buroobaa), and I've yet to see someone who does. As you can see the romanization given here is "biouber" which, ??????]

Another doodle of Elliot and some info from my notes! :)

I think his unique magic would be jumping related? something to cast on himself or an ally Also explanation for the Rook nickname: le bond = jump/spring in french and bond in english  = connection [since they’re friends]) Elliot looks a bit grumpier then he acts, not much of an early morning person, but is open to conversation otherwise. He's always listening for gossip around campus and will spread rumors himself on occasion (of course feigning innocence later). When taking shifts at the lounge, often works in the kitchen

YESSSS THE BUNNY BOYYYY. a little bun guy munching a dumpling and talking to animals sounds so cute. and omg i love that his hobby is making minis and he bonds with idia about it!!! thats so cute. i think he could bond with epel with like, epels apple carving skills. theres probably some overlap there!!!

omg but his ears are probably so soft.... i bet floyd is a repeat offender BOTHERING HIM!! a bond with floyd like azul and idia lol worsties who are also besties

sf sdjfdsfdsjl and avoiding riddle while respecting trey, rip LOL

the jump reminds me of the enhance leap in bg3!! and probably also dnd lolol. i think that would be a fun unique magic :] i forgot to consider one for fidel lol. coming up with them is so hard!!!

omg those big ears are made for hearing gossip... i love that lolol a shady little octavinelle spreading RUMORS.... he is very fun and i love him!!!! and sea bunny is a cute nickname!!!

#asks #abeinginsand #i want to draw him more in the future hes very cute

Due to my enjoyment of surreal stuff like welcome to night vale I like to imagine a sort of AU for el Goonish Shive in which the world (or maybe just moppersville specifically) it's a lot more weird and earie but everyone is just kind of accepting of it or are just as strange themselves. This turned into thinking about Susan and Elliot reviewing some very strange movies, here are two ideas:

The first one is an indie film titled "Hgssssssssssssss" which became pretty popular due to it's innovative method of making you forget any concrete details about it after you finish watching it leaving you only with emotional responses devoid of context. By the end of it they had dry eyes due to prolonged crying and a felling of lost in their chests, so they can only assume they found it's contests to be very good.

These second one if called "You are You but also Not" the most anticipated film of the year in which each individual viewer witnesses themselves living a completely different life than their own. Elliot reviews this one alone since Susan becomes deeply sick after watching it and refuses to speak about or acknowledge it's existence. He likes it, he finds it very relatable.

Lol! Very intriguing!

That second one reminds me of "Roy: a Life Well Lived," the SF vrtual video game in Rick & Morty , except not...

Since this would be magically personalized to you instead of CYOA

Thinking about it... If EGS runs long enough, it's possible Moperville WILL get more overtly weird, as the masquerade falls away...

A podcast I listened to said that GotG vol3 saying "the Legendary Star-Lord will return" probably means another version of Star-Lord (a la Mighty Thor). I don't think that's true, because I think they want to have Quill join some Earth battles.

But I have a dream. My dream is that we get the Shadowcat version of Star-Lord, since Kitty Pryde took over the name briefly. And this Star-Lord is Elliot Page. Page got shafted by not being in X3 or Days of Future Past enough.

But I doubt Disney would be progressive enough to cast a trans actor as the Legendary Star Lord. But I can dream.

ETA: Groot doesn't know genders in Vol 1. I wish he hadn't died. Sci-Fi can do some cool things exploring gender (like a lot of SF novels I have read); but Guardians has never explored this.

EasterCon 2023 Con Report - Books

EasterCon is really all about the books. So many new authors to discover, and favourite authors to revisit - and actually meet! I've listened to so many interesting people speak on panels and then gone looking for the books they've written over the years.

So I came home with a much heavier suitcase than I arrived with, thanks in part to Books on the Hill in the dealers' room. I'd been looking for Paul Cornell's Lychford stories for some time, and they had one copy of The Lights Go Out in Lychford. I didn't care where it came in the series - I grabbed it.

Then I looked more closely at their display and found Kate Elliot's Unconquerable Sun. I heard her read a passage from this at Dublin WorldCon, where she described it as gender-swapped Alexander the Great IN SPACE! Ticking all my boxes right there!

As I was paying for those, I saw the last hardback they had of The Sinister Booksellers of Bath, by Garth Nix, the sequel to The Left-Handed Booksellers of London. This made me very excited - I loved the first book, adored Merlin (and the Lord Peter Wimsey reference!) and I am a left-handed bookseller. So was the lady behind the dealers' table - we've got to stick together!

A little way down the aisle my friend got talking to Tim Mendees and David Green, who were selling mostly horror books. He's in the middle of a Cthulu role playing campaign, so they had lots to talk about. I'm not really interested in horror - but I couldn't resist a collection of short stories called The Nookienomicon, which essentially crosses Cthulu with the Carry On films!

David Green also invited us to his book launch in the Tea Lounge, where he read from his latest fantasy novel - an autistic character who has a secret underground library sounds like something I'd enjoy. I failed to write down the title, (I was busy drinking wine at the time) but its in his Empire of Ruin series. I also failed to write down the name of the author he was sharing his book launch with. (Sorry - I enjoyed the reading, though).

Meanwhile, back in the dealers' room, I passed a table and noticed the name David Wake. "That sounds familiar," I thought, and realised he is the writer of The Derring-Do Club series. We went to a dramatised reading of one of the early books in the series at Mancunicon, which was enormous fun, and there are now two more books - Death on the Suez and Sisterhood of the Death-Goddess. The series is about three Victorian sisters who go on Adventures.

There were also secondhand books on sale around the dealers' room. I picked up Lightship, a book of art by Jim Burns, who was in the art show, and the World Fantasy Con 2013 hardback, which has art by Alan Lee in it, and articles or stories by Neil Gaiman, Joanne Harris, Brian Aldiss, Stephen Baxter and lots of other good stuff! There was also a stack of short stories by Brian Aldiss which were free - Sex and the Black Machine. I took three copies, to give to classic SF fans I know.

Villain time

Cain [Human]

The face hidden under the mask is...?

Commander of Runefaust's elite group, the "Silver Knight Squadron". By Darksol's orders, he led a squad to the Gate of the Ancients and one to raid Guardiana, and overthrew Guardiana's castle.

His weapon, the demon sword "Sword of Darkness" carries the magical power of "Desoul", and along with Cain's own ability can also spread the scorching flames known as "Flames of Hell". The protagonist's greatest rival.

____

Mishaela [Dark Elf]

The dark elf witch followed by monsters

The "Dollmaster". A Runefaust witch whose weapon is the "Magic of Cursed Manipulation", which lets her control cursed dolls and magical beasts.

Following Darksol's orders, she shows up against the force to gather information. Resenting the defeat of her clone, the Mishaela Doll, she goes after the protagonist.

____

Mishaela Doll [?]

Cursed living doll

A doll that has possessed a soul for hundreds of years, and became a monster by receiving part of Mishaela's own cells from her. Mishaela is fond of it for being a clone of herself. It can use high level cold spells.

____

Elliot [Dragonewt]

The dragonman general who fight for his own justice

The supreme commander for the forces conquering the west side of the continent. Head of a family of dragonmen (dragonewts) that answers to Runefaust since ancient times.

Though he knows the current Runefaust is immoral, the people of his territory were taken as hostages by Darksol, so he has no choice but to fight. He believes the protagonist is a legendary hero, and to test his power, challenges the Shining Force to battle at Pao Plains.

_____

Balbazak [Human]

The steel general who commands the great fort

A general sent alongside Elliot to conquer the western side of the continent. He commands the base of operations for this conquest, Uranbatol.

He used to be a nameless soldier, but became a subject for Darksol's human experiments and gained a strengthened body.

Contrasting with Elliot, he's a cunning and cowardly man. As soon as he heard the Shining Force had broken into the fort, he began planning his escape.

_____

Ramladu [Human]

The superhuman emperor of Runefaust's army

Arc Rei Ramladu VI. Runefaust's emperor. The greatest authority there.

He was once known as a wise king who ruled fairly, but the tactician Darksol appeared one year ago inspiring ambitions of conquering the continent on him, and thus he began running down a dark path.

In his youth he would also head into battle himself, and was known as a dauntless warrior. That power hasn't faded at all in present times.

______

Chaos [Robot]

Crazed killing machine

A mechanical soldier created by the Ancients' science. He was originally a robot created to help the heroes that would seal Dark Dragon but, by Darksol's magic, turned into a devilish machine to fight the protagonist. He is something of a big brother to Adam, but his battle skills are far greater.

______

Colossus [?]

Guardian of the Castle of the Ancients

The defense system of the Castle of the Ancients where Dark Dragon is sealed. Created by the ancients.

They eliminate those who break into the castle without following the right procedures.

______

Darksol [?]

The demon king from a world of darkness

The tactician holding the real power over Runefaust's army. Even Emperor Ramladu is dancing at the palm of his hand.

His real identity is entirely a mystery. It seems he dreams of reviving Dark Dragon and conquering this world.

______

Dark Dragon [?]

Will it awaken from its 1000 year slumber?

The ultimate living weapon that is said to be behind the collapse of the past civilization. It was sealed in the Castle of the Ancients by the ancient people, but is waking up from its long sleep. The Shining Force's final enemy.

______

Notes on Cain:

The Flames of Hell are mentioned in the japanese version (and GBA), since he uses them to kill Varios.

Notes on Mishaela & Mishaela Doll:

Mishaela Doll was called Marionette in the localization, but the info here really makes it sound like a unique creature so I kept the more specific japanese name. Despite that, several of it show up in Final Conflict later on. The strategy guide for that game even mentions that they are mass produced.

Also, while this guide only talks about cells, the japanese manual says the doll was made with Mishaela's own soul.

Notes on Balbazak:

blah blah blah the english localization cut some dialogue etc etc you know the drill by now don't you

"I rebuilt your body, gave you the blood of a dragon master, and you still betrayed me..."

The GBA version even elaborated upon this dragon master thing by giving Balbazak a Blue Dragon, which makes sense since Balbazak apparently leads the Magical Beast division of the army. However, "dragon master" is also the japanese name for Bleu's promoted class, so it's possible that the original game meant he received dragon blood.

Notes on Chaos:

The big brother comment plus Adam's original HQ quote make me very emo:

"Darksol... I cannot forgive him. Even Chaos was used by him... I won't ever forgive him..."

:(

WEEKLY WEBCOMIC ROUNDUP

This is an experiment. I’d like this to be a bLog for analyzing and discussing webcomics. One format that might be a way to prompt that conversation is a summing up of the week in webcomics. We’ll see how this goes!

Careful: spoilers may lurk

ORDER OF THE STICK

(By Rich Burlew; www.giantitp.com; updates infrequently; Full Color, Stick-Figure Art; D&D parody, ensemble, longform closed-ended, comedic action-drama; support)

No. YES! Surprisingly, during the writing of this post! (New page here)

The story is in a bit of a lull, with the party inventorying minor assets in the run-up to a major (possibly climactic?) confrontation with Team Evil. On the previous page they accounted for minor skills, this page minor monsters, specifically five Mimics (D&D mosters that lie in wait in dugeons camoflauged as common objects, in this case, two of the five stools)

EL GOONISH SHIVE

(By Dan slash Dana Shive; egscomics.com; updates daily M thru Sat; Grayscale, fully illustrated; suburban fantasy w transgender themes, ensemble, open-ended, time-dilated, mix of SoL, Soap & Adventure; support)

The M-W-F full-page storyline, “Balance,” wrapped up yesterday after 18 months and 198 pages. The final page resolved so many ongoing mysteries, confirming or debunking so many fan theories, that I have already posted a deep dive into that one page!

Before that, Elliot collapsed, probably of exhaustion and had a vision of himself berating themself as “pathetic,” evidently over having worried Tedd:

Meawhile, the T-Th-Sat comic strip (running concurrently and idependently) is smack in the middle of the “Who Is Ellen” storyline, and the impromptu D&D players are revealing their characters to one another. Rich tries shaming George for playing a woman character. This goes poorly:

The  M-W-F comic will be on hiatus for 10 days for the Shive to prep for the new arc, but meawhile the T-Th-Sat storyline will continue!

DINOSAUR COMICS

(By Ryan North; www.qwantz.com; updates M-W-F; Color, Simple Pixel Art, every page identical; observational humor and absurdity; support)

Sometimes a comic panel is best with no context at all:

The context

GUNNERKRIGG COURT

(By Tom Siddell; gunnerkrigg.com; updates M-W-F ; Full Color, fully illustrated; magic-school fantasy, longform drama adventure; support)

(No parethetical explanations, they’d each take paragraphs and paragraphs!)

Jerrek wants to see the “Star Ocean” for himself, but as the train pulls closer, he is growing convinced that it would destroy him. Hilariously, his new “girlfriend” seems oblivious of his distress:

But in the most recent page, she seems to finally notice, break through his indecision and pull him off the train before it’s too late!

QUESTIONABLE CONTENT

(By Jeph Jacques; questionablecontent.net; updates Weekdays; Full Color, fully illustrated; Almost real-world setting with some SF elements, open-ended long-running SoL Soap; support)

Claire (recently graduated library scientist) has been offered a weird and possibly too-good-to-be-true opportunity to build and run an IS dept from scratch for oddball research commune, the Cube. She is on a quest to get all the advice she can, and has finally come to talk to her Mom, who suggests she talk to her nice AI friend Yay. Yay is basically Skynet, if Skynet wanted to integrate into society and live a normal life.

However, Claire’s boyfriend has heard about Yay helping out his best friend’s AI girlfriend, which leads to instant acceptance! But also... misunderstandings

I also read Girl Genius, but the current side story... I’m not really feeling it. Also, I’ve gone on long enough. I hope this prompts some conversation or maybe leads someone to discover a new read!
