ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

The new loadscreens are amazing!
Is there any way I can extract them from the game files to look at them by themselves?

Also, is that Myssil and Linaniil fighting back-to-back???

The person in armour is Archmage Varil IIRC. He fights alongside Linaniil in her backstory (I think you can get the lore from one of the shops).

Ah, yes, Varil, the guy who decided that a sword was really just a sharpened metallic staff.
I had forgotten about him.

te4-1.3.0.teae is essentially a zip file, so you can view it in your favourite zip file viewer.

Or it might be Aranion. Actually, I think that's who I was thinking of originally, based on the lore at http://te4.org/wiki/Linaniil.

Weren't those backgrounds always there?
I've seen them plenty of times.

And, yup, that's Arianion on his "date" with Linnanil where they romantically slaughter an orc warband.
This is in the days leading up to the spellblaze. You can read about it in the spellblaze chronicles.

Silly people getting Aranion mixed up with Varil.
