Thorvalla Kickstarter Update #2

Guido Henkel made a new update on his Thorvalla Kickstarter, this time featuring an entire host of details.

Travel Map

The game will feature a travel map that is very similar in its looks and feel to the one found in Blade of Destiny. I always loved that relief look with the jagged line crawling over it representing the traveling party, and in high resolution it will look even cooler.

Since we are traveling overland like this, Camping will also be an important part of the game, particularly to restore health and mana. Yes, the game features a mana-based magic system that will restore itself over time and with rest.

Camps also serve for additional random encounters. Not only with monsters, and bandits and such, but also with other travelers, who might then happen to share information with you - or perhaps, they’re just out to slit your throats, after all.


The travel map will contain countless events, encounters and plot points that will be unlocked during the game. Some of them driven through the story, your characters, others through certain skills, others yet by chance. If you’ve played Blade of Destiny, I think you know exactly what to expect.

And another snippet, the available classes:

Character Generation

This is where it all begins. Even though the player begins with a single character, you will be able to adjust many elements. Additional party members are recruited as the game progresses, but more on that later.

Character stats will be quite detailed. Perhaps not the kind of super-micro-management we had in Realms of Arkania, but still detailed enough to allow for plenty of customized play.

The player can chose from eight classes.

  • Warrior
  • Scout
  • Shadow Dancer - a Thief-like class
  • Monk - a tank with some basic magic abilities
  • Druid - a tank mage with focus on magic based in nature
  • Wizard/Witch
  • Sorcerer
  • Demonizer - a spell caster class that draw its powers from demons of all shapes and forms

Additionally, there's a a Thorvalla launch video on Youtube. You can listen to Betrayal at Krondor-legend Neil Hallford for a few hours if you so desire:
