For Champion of Lore, we wanted to introduce a new playable character whose story begins very differently from Sayri’s.
Sayri was bold, idealistic, and a born hero and leader. For this new game, I wanted someone who inspires courage in the face of adversity.
Kanna is just a young girl from a small village. She’s innocent, naturally agile, and surprisingly good with a bow — but she’s not a warrior, and she’s definitely not looking for an adventure.
Everything changes when the explosion of corrupted Greek knowledge reaches her land.
The myths don’t stay contained. They begin to manifest in the world, and Kanna’s village is directly affected. Suddenly, she’s caught in the middle of something far bigger than herself.
As myths start to come to life, Kanna receives unexpected help. Through the influence of Pachamama and Wayra Tata, she gains abilities connected to nature and wind.
These influences are something we’re currently working on, and over the next few days we’ll begin translating them into cards and abilities that define Kanna’s playstyle.
In the meantime, here’s a sneak peek at Kanna.
Since Kanna isn’t royalty and instead comes from humble origins, we went with a simpler, more rustic card frame.
Here’s a look at some of the cards you’ll be able to use when playing as her.
There’s also a small detail behind her name that we really like.
Kanna’s full name is Kannakapfaluk, inspired by an Inuit legend about a woman who rejected all her suitors and was eventually taken by a dog spirit, giving birth to children who were half-human, half-dog.
In the game, most people simply call her Kanna, but we liked the idea of her name carrying the weight of an old story — just like the world she’s stepping into.
Kanna represents a new perspective in the Lore universe.
Not a hero at the end of their journey, but someone right at the very beginning of it.
