Topic: Production News
Production of Volume 2.00001 is complete, post production on Purgatory has begun. Production of Volume 1 has continued and will be completed as planned, on time. Episodes 26-30 will be produced at the same time as Volume 1. Purgatory is very different then the series.

In one instance, Sakura is in love with Ayden Argadon, while in the series, she just admires him.

Volume 2.000001
Topic: Production News
Volume 2.000001 Production is going on schedule. Volume 2.000001 takes place in an alternate reality. It is very different from Volume 2. It's different because it's only 10 Episodes long, the volume ending at Episode 40, where Ketral is finally slain by both Sakura and Vahloren. In Volume 2 however, The Volume doesn't end at episode 40, it goes on until Episode 50-52.

Aldean Chronicles - Volume 2.000001: Purgatory
Topic: Production News
Author Ramon Lopez has created Episodes 30-40. Since the events in these Episodes are alternate, I have decided to produce a mini-Volume that takes place in an alternate reality. An alternate reality where Erasta wasn't created, and the Paladins of Light had never been destroyed. In This Universe, all of Aldea has been swallowed in Darkness, except for Vahloren's Kingdom, The Forbidden Continent. Sakura and the Paladin and Ancient Guardian of Strength And Sight, Ayden Argadon are traveling together on a quest to destroy Ketral, while Vahloren with his new Daviant Sword completed (Dragon Spirit), battles Ketral's evil minions, making his way to Ketral, so he can confront her and wipe her evil off the face of the planet.

This mini-volume is small, only 10 episodes, each of the episodes are very short. This mini-volume is drastically different from Volume 2, which will be airing in the next few weeks or so. Also to note, Episodes 21-25 won't be airing for another 3 weeks, due to complications with production.

Volume 2 Production
Topic: Production News
As Production of Volume 1 is continuing, the pre-production of Volume 2 Episodes 26-30 is complete. The Production of these brand new Episodes will begin shortly. Episodes 21-25 will be airing in the next two weeks or so, followed by the airing of Volume 1, the Complete remix of Episodes 1-25, plus artwork, glossaries and an updated English to Aldean Dictionary!

Bane - Demonic Sword Of Power (Spoiler Alert)
Topic: Fan Art

Out of all the sword's in Aldean Chronicles, Bane is the most powerful. It can block and absorb energy attacks and send them right back at their owners. It can metamorphose into any shape or form which it's wielder wants (Draconis, Vahloren and Sakura).

The Magic Power of Bane is seemingly impossible. Not only it can block other people's attacks and change form and shape, it can also create powerful attacks to send at it's wielder's enemies, by drawing on the wielder's own demonic energies and using them to attack with the assailiants weakness.

Bane was forged from Draconis's own fangs, claws and scales when he was in his prime. If Vahloren forged his own sword (which he does in the Episodes after 30), how powerful do you think it will be?
