Ah yeah, they have a chance to show up at your tavern and sometimes its like that .. they're not interested in hiring on. Funcom teasing us there a bit I guess with how that feature works. I don't do this generally.. but I saw a YouTube video showing how you can knock out tavern guests with a truncheon, and if you are quick to get them to a wheel of pain before they disappear, you can tame them. This was back when the skelos bearers could have like 60K health or more and would visit the tavern. Not sure if its still possible.

So something weird keeps happening in my tavern on Savage Wilds. The Heroic Thralls will show up, but not be interactable, just as seat-fillers. I originally chalked it up as coincidence and similar looks, but Raithan has a pretty distinct look and I'm pretty sure I've seen him twice. Current tally: Raeth, Anaiya, and Shaleigh in the tavern, Shaleigh found multiple times at Cabhan Fell, Sephanna found at Last Words Cavern and Blacksail Guard

Hey @Turkwise, good call out and thanks for the comment! I'll update the "where to find" info on her to indicate in or around the bay at least, as Sephanna has a chance to show up anywhere T4 named Black Hand thralls have a chance to spawn. Buccaneer Bay happened to be a location I encountered her multiple times in testing and relevant to her lore, but this updated description will more accurately indicate she can be found in a broader area. Appreciate it!

Dunno if its intended but ive encountered Sephanna about 10x more frequently as any of the other thralls. She seems to spawn at any black hand camp, not just Buccaneer Bay.

Hah, yeah, you have incredible luck @wyvern350, except for maybe Stygian Slaver iirc For Savage Wilds, hopefully Raeth, Alithena, or Raithan will drop in soon if they haven't already because at least the others can be found out in the world. I am just not aware of any spawn points yet in Savage Wilds for Votaries faction, or Sepermeru goons/prowlers.

@DeviouSaint - My luck holds. Within five minutes of placing my bartender in Savage Wilds. Which probably means I'll never see the other seven. LOL

Heya @wyvern350, yeah that is exactly what I'd do, especially if I'm playing on a map where I can't learn the feat required to craft the sexy silent legion in the first place Congrats if you had Shaleigh available to hire in the tavern. That is possible for all these thralls of course, but def still a rare find.

Fun fact: If you combine this mod with the Black Market Merchant, you can hire Shaleigh in your tavern and buy the sexy silent legion armor for her right there, too. :) Especially useful since it's not replica armor but has actual stats.

Hey @mikethegodwin, again, I have not tested with aoc, but like Valkyrie mod, this mod doesn't replace any data or affect base game assets, so there would not be conflicts. The heroic thralls are added to shared "legendary" thrall encounter tables, so as long as aoc has not changed which encounter tables are used, these thralls should be possible to find in the world too, albeit still a rare spawn.

Hola @erinconmendoza! Buena pregunta, gracias. Sí, Shaleigh la Maldita tiene las mismas estadísticas que siempre.

are your mods compatible with aoc

una pregunta shaleigh la maldita tiene las mismas estadisticas que la normal

Hi @Hobbit, thank you much for dropping a comment! Your story is a familiar one, as I often play in a similar way =) It means a lot to know you have enjoyed the mods, so thank you again!

If all goes as planned, my next mod will be more of an aesthetic thing than an NPC mod, but there are at least a few more characters I still hope to integrate into the game, so yes I def have plans. I'm still working out how to introduce them though, so specifics are a bit fuzzy. There are a lot more factions to explore for sure!

I just wanted to say how much i love your mods. I play solo and love building up unique thralls to wander with. With the new story thralls being a dissapointment, your mods have given me new inspiration. Ive even got a small roleplay going on in my current game, where my character has a prophecy of 12 companions who will be the key to his escape, warriors, thieves slaves performers, he must find all of them so he can defeat the greatest foes in these lands and find his way home.

Any plans for more mods like this? Maybe themed around The dogs of the desert, or the relic hunters? Finding some of the Jebbel sag warriors that wish to see the open world, or having some unique relic hunters in those groups you find in the unnamed city would be awesome!

Oh, that's great. Thanks again @wyvern350. Always good to get more confirmation all is well after patch.

Shaleigh just showed up at my tavern, so I can confirm it's working on SW.

Mod is working as of today's patch. No need to push any updates. =)

Hah, that's awesome =)

I guess I'd better tap the keg then. :) By the way, kind of funny that you mention Talasia is an alternate for Oyvind. When I found her in Snowhearth she was arguing with him about something.

Hi @wyvern350, yes that is correct. I have yet to seen a prowler, bandit, or other hostile spawn as you would see in EL Sepermeru in Murun or around the Savage Wilds. In Savage Wilds, Raithan may be obtainable as a tavern patron only for the time being.

So since Murun on the Savage Wilds map doesn't have any "bad" districts, he won't show up there even though the T4 crafters and other rares are the same as Sepermeru?

Hi @iscekit123, there are three areas around Sepermeru where you can run into hostile prowlers, thugs and bandits: (1) one to your right as you come through the northern Waterside entrance, past the wandering bearer thrall, (2) another to your left as you come through the same entrance, past the kneeling crafter thrall by the fire, and (3) in the Southlake district, across the water from the two cooks where you learn the Snake Dance. He is a rare spawn with a low % chance to spawn in place of any of these hostile NPCs. It can be dangerous to hunt for him, but fortunately he is often easy to spot from a safe distance (or from up high if you are on top of a nearby building). His red hair and his relic hunter gear sets him apart from the other hostiles.

Raithan can be found in the more dangerous districts of Sepermeru, where is "dangerous districts of Sepermeru" i run so many time but i cant find him.

Hey @Satan, they do not. Talasia is a female alternative to Oyvind and the others all have purge tier level stats, but no auras like the Vallkyrie thralls or special perks like the CE companions.

Will these thralls have some unique perks like Liu Fei, Freya or the thralls from the Valkyrie mod?

Oh, thank you @Jinx, appreciate the kind words.. Happy hunting Exile! =)

thank you for the fast reply. i didnt realized it was rare spawn. but i will keep looking for them. i love your mods! couldnt play without them lol

Re: Grim Map .. to be clear I tested with mod ID 2872104059

Hi @Jinx, I have not used that mod, but tried it out for a few minutes and found Anayia the Ashwalker, so should be fine. While there is no conflict, I cannot say for certain the map author did not change up spawn info and make it more difficult for any one particular thrall in this mod though. They are rare spawns, so look out for RNG shenanigans too.

i having trouble finding these thralls on the exile lands but i use grim map mod. does it conflict the spawn ?

Appreciate that call out @wyvern50, thank you

I found Sephanna multiple times in Last Words Cavern in B8. Which I was happy about, because the first time Alina and Kianne killed her. LOL

Update re: Savage Wilds - I've been trying out Savage Wilds and can confirm that Shaleigh does spawn in Maelgwyn's Glen. Since there are Nordheimer and Black Hand camps, I expect that Anayia, Talasia, Calais, and Sephanna also have a chance to spawn in the world. Raeth, Raithan, and Alithena may be available only with a tavern, TBD on that as I learn more.

I probably should consider updating the screenshots.

I prefer Raeth with the Khitan Mercenary headband, Vanir Fur harness with vanir heavy just on the hands, legs and boots.

Talasia will typically have the zamorian dancer set but dyed deep green

Hi @wyvern350! Yeah, for sure - I'll give that a shot here. Let me know if anything is not clear.

Shaleigh-Redeemed legion gloves + Sexy Silent Legion mod: chest, tasset w/ skirt & boots
Talasia-Yep, zamorian dancer
Raeth-Probably was Ymir's Aegis here, but looks identical to full set of Vanir Heavy
Anayia-Aquilonian chest & bracers, Aquilonian Scout boots, & Aquilonian Infantry legs w/ blue dyed deep red
Alithena-Zamorian chest & gloves, Marksman's pants & boots
Raithan-Relic hunter yep, but in mod preview tile its Inn-Keepers Vestments mainly to avoid the neck seam (still a reasonable look for him anyway)
Calais-Vanir settler jewelry, vanir fur harness & gauntlets, cimmerian fur tasset & boots
Sephanna-Zamorian thief

Kianne (Valkyrie mod)-Lemurian warrior chest, gauntlets, tasset, and boots
Alina (Valkyrie mod)-Aquilonian chestplate, bracers, tasset and sandals

Actually, is Anayia in the generic Aquilonian armor?

A quick question. I'd like to dress (or at least illusion) them all in their default armors in the pictures. I think I've figured out most of them:
Sephanna and Alithena both appear to be in Zamorian Thief
Raithan is in Relic Hunter
Calais is in Vanir Fur
Talsia is in Zamorian Dancer
Raeth looks like he's in Vanir Heavy
Is Shaleigh in Silent Legion or Sexy Silent Legion?
and I can't peg what Anayia is wearing because I can't see enough of it.
Mind filling in the blanks? And maybe the Valkyries, too? :)

Updated to version 2.0. This update brings new heroes! Hope everyone enjoys them in the game as much as I do. =)

Calais the Half-Blood: We see what Shaleigh's younger sister (or more accurately, half-sister) has been up to. Calais is a strength based fighter thrall, with somewhat blended stats between Forgotten Tribe and Nordheimers.

Sephanna Marren: The daughter of a late criminal boss, Sephanna is a tough agility based fighter and a survivor.

Raithan: Raithan is a strong and versatile agility based fighter thrall. He can be tough to subdue so be careful taking him on.

Alithena the Ashwalker: A capable archer, Alithena can also still handle herself well fighting in any capacity.

Still on track to drop a major update for this mod this coming Tuesday, July 29th. Once again, the update will introduce four additional thralls to the world, in addition to a complete refresh of the lore section and mod preview picture.

Hi @Bagalur, I have not tried Savage Wilds, but should work yes. I have not heard anyone report a problem with that.

Will this mod work on the Savage wilds map?

I expect to drop an update for this mod on Tuesday, July 29th. This will be a major update adding four new thralls to the world. There will be new agility fighter thralls, an Ashwalker archer, and one more strength fight thrall. From a lore perspective, I am looking forward to sharing more stories of my favorite heroes.

Since I have opted for a mod update to share the new content, I will deploy the changes on a weekday, and the week after next works better for me schedule-wise.

aaaaa, I forgot I had already posted hehe, :0 good things are coming then

Hi @Nhevoz, thanks for the follow up post and the kind words! I remember your post some time ago about Du'neman the Dragoon too. As a matter of fact, I am working on a couple of agility based thralls for something to come. More than likely it will be a new stand-alone, compatible mod, like 'Heroic Thralls 2', but not 100% on that yet.

Is there a way to add an agility-oriented follower to have a captain archer in the ranks?
By the way, very good mod.

Thanks DeviousSaint! I think it might be all of the Tier 4 followers mods. I use the Medium Increase ones and don't see them anywhere. I hope so, this mod looks really good.

Hey @Wolfman, I tested this some with "Tier 4 Followers - Always Spawn" and it does appear there may be a partial conflict. I was only able to find Talasia and Raeth and mod order did not appear to make any difference. Shaleigh and Anayia did not appear to be spawning. If I find out more about compatibility between these two mods, I will update again.

Thanks for the quick reply @DeviousSaint. Maybe I'll try placing your mod before the T4 increase Mod and see if it helps

Hey @Wolfman, I do not currently use a mod like that, but hopefully it won't conflict. Seems like it should only increase the chances of the named champions list to trigger a spawn, so, for example, ForgottenTribeFighter_RandomLegendary, which includes both Dalinsia or Shaleigh with this mod, would be more likely to spawn one or the other. Thank you for the post and if you get a chance, please let me know how it goes!

I'm wondering if the mod I downloaded to increase the T4 spawn is affecting this one. I haven't been able to find them yet. Looking forward to finding them, these look great.
