The Story of Ven du Violetmist

Back when you were a little Level 0, do you remember the timeless story “The Hero and the Health Potions”? It’s a story about a young adventurer who drank too many HP Potions—some from Swordhaven and others from Shadowfall—and was equally consumed by the forces of Good and Evil. The moral of the story was to teach the dangers of gluttony…and the main character of “The Hero and the Health Potions” was Ven du Violetmist!

Despite a children’s book being written about Ven, little is known about her factual history. Ancient books in the Arcangrove Tower speak of a hidden plane inside other planes of existence, characterized by "what exists," "doesn't exist," and what "never existed"… a mysterious place known as Leviasea. Leviasea history recounts a human-like figure called Ven du Violetmist, who was imprisoned for eons due to her “unpredictable” and “immortal” magic prowess.

The lack of knowledge about Ven du Violetmist, paired with her unknown intentions and indestructible nature, makes her an uneasy foe to both Good and Evil alignments. Often accompanied by her Leviasea Knights, Ven du Violetmist emerges into Lore for the first time… or at least, the first known time.

In the real world, Ven hails from the magical realm of Lisbon, Portugal, and currently resides in a small peaceful town. Ven started making cartoon shorts for the original AdventureQuest and created suggestion items for AdventureQuest and DragonFable. With each new art submission, Ven got more and more inspired—and excited!—and began chasing something even more awesome: AdventureQuest Worlds art! Ven has been a volunteer artist since 2010 and is currently pursuing their real-life adventures. 

Thanks Ven du Violetmist for sharing your story with us! And every hero in AdventureQuest Worlds cannot wait to become one of your faithful Leviasea Knights.

Onward into battle, my heroes!

The Solrac Scoop

Solrac is a hero at heart, relentlessly attempting to defeat forces of evil—most of which are far too strong from him to handle. One such attempt left him mortally wounded, but with the divine healing powers of Aranx, Solrac was given a second chance at life. Solrac was also granted the gift of restoration, allowing him to partially recover from injuries. Turning to technology, he began repairing himself, improving himself, and making himself stronger—but these alterations come at a hefty price: with each new modification, a part of his sanity is stripped away. One of Solrac’s injuries left him mute, although he can still communicate via scroll scribing using his magical abilities.

In the real world, Solrac was born on February 28, 1902 (yeah, he looks dang good for his age) in the fabled lands of Chicago, Illinois. Solrac’s artistic inspiration comes from Hip-Hop and Comic Books, and has always dreamed of being able to pay his bills with his art. In March 2011, Solrac’s dream became his reality once he became AQWorlds’ ‘Maker of Random Stuffs’. Impressive job title, I must say! Solrac also loves Gummi Bears and Candy, and the sugary sweetness of treats fuels Solrac’s equally sweet artistic talents!

Sweet! I can't wait!

Who is Aranx?

The Archangel Aranx is shrouded in mystery. Not much is known about this Archangel… and he wants to keep it that way! His angelic attributes are expressed through his work and perhaps one day we will discover the past behind Aranx!

Aranx was born and raised in Denmark, and his artistic inspiration came from the beauty of art, cartoons, and the ocean. He is a huge fan Brenton Thwaites and loves to watch Vampire Diaries, Pretty Little Liars, and Nikita. Aranx started playing AdventureQuest a long, long time ago, and has worked with AQWorlds as an Assistant Artist for a year and a half now. Aranx’s favorite thing about AE is the art…and with his help, we are able to bestow unsurpassed beauty upon AQWorlds!

Discover your own artistic inspiration with Aranx’s Featured Artist Shop Items arriving later today!

• the BEST deal
• exclusive Golden Fury Armor Set (6 items)
• AND saving the MOST money!

Let me break it down for you: a 12 Month Membership costs $57.95. So when you break that down, you’re only spending

$4.83 a month!

Dude. I spend MORE than that on my Frappichinos. Everyday. Why can’t Starbucks offer a sweet membership deal like AQWorlds? I’d totally buy it!

So when you take ALL that into account, you’re really only spending

$1.25 a month!

This is FUN! Wanna break that apart even more… by day!? OKAY!

$0.04 per day!

Are. You. SERIOUS?! Oh yes. Very serious indeed. Check my math if you don’t believe me… even though I quadrupled checked just to make sure =D
