if you want to know the nearl-lore, you can start it at any time since it is its own storyline. if i remember correctly the order should be: side-story maria nearl; vignette story pinus silvestris; side story near light; vignette story an obscure wanderer. there are some right and wrong guesses, but you gotta find out yourself what is what.

[@Trailblazer_Ririna]

Haha perfect~ but I think I’ll have to prioritize the ones for Lone Trail first since that’s more major for the main story, right?

[@mr.comment9747]

@@Trailblazer_RirinaNot particularly, while Lone Trail does have some important story elements you can read it at a later point if needed, it is not completely connected to the main story.

[@KarlMorey684]

@@Trailblazer_Ririna Lone Trail actually takes place, in the game's timeline, *after* the current main story chapters. One of the Arknights wikis actually has a world timeline for Terra, and Lone Trail is at the end of year 1099. The current chapters in the main story are early- to mid-1099. (Other recent in-game events have happened in 1100-1102)

[@Lord_Lolo_the_Last]

@@Trailblazer_Ririna imo, the lone trail-story connects to the world building lore and less to the main-story, so it is good to know, but no necessity if you want to progress in main story.

"To be the knight - is to be the noble light that illuminates the land".

[@Trailblazer_Ririna]

And that is definitely what Nearl is!

[@RyushiroK]

one small detail I like in the video, at 3:00 (in the original video), which is around 3:21 in yours, the slow down, where the instruments stop for a bit. Nearl also closes her eyes for that part. And when the instruments come back, she re-opens them. Almost like she's praying for her opponent, or centering herself for what is to come.

[@Trailblazer_Ririna]

Oh yes, that is definitely a good point. A prayer and a moment of rest before moving forward!

[@Spectacular_Insanity]

The story context is that Margaret Nearl (the former champion of the Kazimierz knightly tournament) was chased away from Kazimierz after it was discovered that she was an Infected. However, Rhodes Island later discovered that Nearl was, in fact, not an Infected at all after examining her when questions arose surrounding her sealed medical records and lack of Oripathy symptoms. It turns out she was framed, her medical documents having been forged by corrupt elements within her homeland that wanted to see her gone. The events of Near Light chronicle her triumphant return to her homeland, her reunion with her family, her defense of the Infected there (despite no longer technically being one of them), and the reclamation of her title. And a bit of butt-kicking to those aforementioned corrupt elements, just to round things out. It was definitely one of the best events story-wise, at least in my opinion.

[@Trailblazer_Ririna]

Wow, it seems like I got some things right then! What a fun event~ I definitely can’t wait to play it when the time comes!

[@oscardude95]

Not exactly correct, what actually happens is her continuous victories at the Kazimierz Major as an independent knight (in their country, all major knights are sponsored by multimillion companies and draw in a lot of revenue, so to be independent and yet draw so much attention is to spit in the face of capitalism) rubbed pretty much everyone the wrong way, to the point where the KGCC sent assassins after her. Her Infected status and documents were actually forged by her own family to give the country a legitimate excuse to exile her and thus keep her alive

[@garyballard179]

​@oscardude95 It has nothing to do with capitalism. Capitalism is not practiced by any country in Terra. Kazimierz is a _corporatist_ government, with a _free market_ economy.

Nearl is not longer horsing around. AYEEEEEE!

[@Trailblazer_Ririna]

🤣 she really isn’t horsing around anymore~ lolol

[@ПётрНауменко-т4з]

Its Nearl but her second form. From some time after they release events with some character they also start adding their upgraded form. Like this Nearl lthe radiant knight. There are also alter Chen Gavial Lava and Hibiscus Spefter and skadi and many other. This concrete song is about Event radiant knight. This song also play in that big event trailer thereNearl and Flaimtail fight against Platinum.

[@Trailblazer_Ririna]

I did wonder if this song had to do with the Flametail trailer, but this answers it!

[@ПётрНауменко-т4з]

@@Trailblazer_Ririna there was a series of event about Kazimirez and their so called Knight tournament. There people fight to deathcsomerimes, but its as fair as American WWE. First event about Blameshie ( Nearlcsister). Second event about Margaret ( our favorite tank-healer) neRl is her family name. And after this there was two mini-events that summarize what happened with other xharacters. One about Myalnar Nearl uncle. And other about Pinus Sylcestris................. NO its just how their party Garbwge knight called in Polish and nothing more) Also Pinus sylvestris event have two good rock songs but without words.

[@Bondrewd__21]

Interesting moment. If I’m not wrong, during the Event Doctor were received a gift from an some old woman. What gift? Well that women is actually a slaver and gifted is Gravel… yep…

[@dreiak]

Nearl (margaret) summary: Margaret Nearl (AKA nearl in game) Is from a prominent knight family who back in the old days would have been one of the great families (a bit like the Starks in GoT). The Nearls are one of the few families that still honor the "old" chivalric codes in a society that has since become hyper commercialized, and polticial and corporate corruption have kind of taken over the politics of the country. Nearl uses her family name to enter a knight tournament, and then declares that she herself is infected (which is a lie) but she wants to reduce the negative sentiment of the infected and allow them to enter the tournaments on equal standing. Corporate sponsors don't like this and make their political interests get the armorless union involved, who are assasins for hire who primarily support corporate interests. Despite having the corporate world turn against her, and renouncing any rights of succession to her family, she wins the knight tournament in the name of the infected, and then she leaves the country along with Shining and Nightengale as part of "The followers." Then Maria Nearl decides to take up the mantle in the knight tournaments. The Nearl family now blemished by Margarets "betrayal" of the corporate interests has a conspiracy concocted against her to try and make sure Blemishine (maria) is killed in the tournament. Maria gets severely beaten up, and like rocky balboa just keeps tanking damage from a series of unfair fights, when Margaret shows up last minute to help her sister against the odds. After Blemishine wins the knight tournament as the 2nd nearl, the nearls disappear from the tournaments until the events of "Near Light" which doesn't have the nearls in the tournament. In this case its the Pinus Sylvestris Operators, and once againt the armorless union is called in to assasinate the people who are pushing for infected equality. Margaret returns as a much more powerful and mature combatant then she was as a knight competitor, but she is still outgunned and outnumbered, and this time its her Unlce Mlynar who steps in behind the scenes to turn the tables on the behind the scenes schemes of corporations and the armorless union, and this culminates in the doctor rescuring platinum from the armorless union as a political refugee once platinum decides that her life as a career killer is not what she wants to be forever. At this point the followers effectively become full time members of RI, platinum joins at this point in the story, and Mlynar ends up quitting his corpo gig, and the Nearl family effectively has no more noble titles since all the heirs have relinquished their claim, though at this point, noble titles are ONLY that, titles, since every element of politics is dominated by corporate interests and not the chivalric values of the past.

Ooo, I’ll add that to the list! Thank you for the recommendation~ ❤️

[@Reiuji_Utsuho666]

Glad you enjoy this one! Radiant is a song that is quite meaningful to AK player especially CN AK player because it happens after the infamous Chen alter drama which almost cause AK to RIP, its still the biggest drama AK ever had even until now. This event gives back hope to fellow doktah that they still able to create stuff that player wants. Just like the event name in chinese, roughly translate to twillight after a long night, everything in this event is just on point, the animation that got stepped the 1st time, the story , the music and such.

[@Trailblazer_Ririna]

Oh wow, such a thing happened?!? I’m glad that they jumped back up on their feet after. That somehow does bring a lot of meaning to this song than before too! Especially with the way it’s set up from the feeling of being “sabotaged or put down” to the feeling of victory and hope!

[@Spectacular_Insanity]

Nah, Ch'en Alter was just CN players whining like they always do. The game was never in danger of dying.

[@Reiuji_Utsuho666]

@@Spectacular_Insanity their daily player online got cut by a lot during the time and a lot leave the game after that, even the revenue drop hard, if they didnt do something, we maybe wont have this amazing game survive until now.
