Royalty Enters Summoners FateWe're so excited to reveal our newest and most royal members of Summoners Fate,
Emperor Cosme and Empress Camille:
We took great care in creating the look for these two important characters. As the name "Summoners Fate" implies, themes of fate vs. free will is found throughout, especially the single-player campaign. We are still writing the story, but read the origins of Emperor Cosme in our first game,
Hero Mages,
here.
There are many nods to these themes in their looks. For example, both of their pendants are important. Emperor Cosme's incorporates a pair of scissors, a nod to the the Fates of Greek mythology, especially Atropos, who cuts the Thread of Life. Similarly, with Empress Camille, surrounding the orange gem in the middle is the
Rota Fortunae, or Wheel of Fortune, that is found throughout history, and signifies the fickle nature of fate.
Can you find other symbolism in these characters? Do you think they have good or malicious intentions in Summoners Fate?
