Forgotten tales

3twins fans,

We've been teasing our upcoming game Of Mages & Pages for quite some time.  This game picks up shortly after the stories in 3twins.net's Midieville.  These stories were developed from a concept I came up with several years ago.  That early concept involved Marvin, the Blue Wizard, Gidju the Purple Dragon, Xilva the elf, and Komaar, the squire.  Now Marvin and Gidju ended up in the stories of Midieville, but Xilva and Komaar have yet to appear...

Komaar was originally the squire to the Yellow Knight, who had fallen in battle.  After fleeing the battle, he ended up with Marvin, Gidju and Xilva, where he joined their gang as King Mathos' posse.  The story had been planned for Komaar to begin an apprenticeship under Marvin, and he would eventually become a sorcerer.

I don't want to reveal too much about the plans for these unseen characters, but just because we haven't used them, doesn't mean you wont see them someplace in the future.

Finally Xilva!

Several years back when Andy wrote the first few scripts for Midieville they looked much different than anything we have on the website.  The stories were meant to be full 10-20 minute animated adventures following a trio of creatures sent on quests by the king.  Those three adventurers were: Marvin the blue wizard, Gidju the dragon and Xilva the elf.  Though when we started making the Midieville shorts they were mostly just a way for us to cut our teeth in animation and served as tests for things we wanted to try out.  For logistical reasons, the lovely Xilva was cut from those and we just never found a good story point to add her into the fray... until now.

Now that we're taking the world of Midieville and putting it in our upcoming Nintendo Wii U game, Of Mages & Pages, Xilva has a place in the land of Midieville once more.  So, I present to you a peek at one of the oldest and most neglected characters from the 3twins wheelhouse, Xilva the elf.  This concept drawing comes from S. LaDon Ware.  Xilva will be joining our heroes at some point in the game and finally take her place next to Marvin and Gidju!
