Excellent. Wonder if the color will be orange.

If it is a digital render, as mentioned above, the choice of color was intentional. This would lead me to believe orange is a faction color.

Well that's pretty important news. It looks like she drafted the Craven Court.

"DESIGNER'S NOTES - DAY 028- "THE CRAVEN COURT" FACTION LORE - Evolving over countless millennia and through almost constant military campaign and conquest on their home planet of Arboreas, The Craven Court have perfected the arts of war within their draconian martial culture. Their insectoid appearance can be deceiving at first, leading many to believe them barbaric and crude, base things of rage and slaughter. In contrary to that belief however, The Craven Court possess a highly advanced intelligence and fight with iron discipline to uphold and maintain their society against their enemies. Their “hives” are kept hidden from all outsiders, and it is believed those court members encountered on Valhalla are comprised entirely of a sort of warrior caste. Leveraging their organically bio-engineered weapons and abilities, Revna utilizes The Craven Court’s unique military tactics on the battlefield to great effect, feinting army compositions, and even spawning new reinforcements as the battle unfolds, and tactics change to meet the moment."

I didn't see that one coming. Big news!

Volarak of Haukeland seems another likely new general.

DESIGNER'S NOTES - DAY 015 - "THAT SOUND OF FOOTFALLS IN THE DISTANCE IS HEADING RIGHT FOR US!!!" The Scion of the Wild bows not before the belligerent city dwellers, instead lashing out with the primal anger of the many snarling beasts that fight beside him in combat. He has become one with the pack, understanding the instincts of nature’s raw power better than any of other Dryan magi in the Order. With a powerful magical staff forged by the mighty Volarak of Haukeland, the Scion of the Wild bends the beasts of Arboreas to his will, and drives forth a raging stampede of claws, horns and fangs to battle against his adversaries.

[IAmBatman]

Have we ever had another general described like that? With an adjective like "mighty" before their name or a specific location like "Haukeland" assigned to them?

To me, that name seems more like a tribe or a group or something (the Volarak) or like a character (the mighty Volarak, master of the forge) who works under a general.

I'm feeling squad or kyrie, basically, but not archkyrie. I could be wrong, just doesn't come across as a general there, IMO.

I saw the preview image of three designs for three of the generals, one of which being a new general. Since there's five generals yet to be shown with a new symbol design, I wonder if the next two Fridays will show three more each time, which would require one more new general to fit the pattern? Would fit new Friday themed previews like with the new SOTM figure retreads.

The new general is obviously exciting, but I'm also really loving that Geiger-inspired interpretation of the Vydar logo. Looks straight out of Alien.

One thing I've learned from Japanese anime is that names ending in "a" are not necessarily female. Still, we'll see.

True, but we have seen...

Revna seems to be Norse for raven (and it's also an anagram of it too).
