Funny thing about Ariel, first you see her you go: Oh, thats a pretty butterfly. Then you start to play her and realize you've stumbled on Galadriel in a Sauron-banishing mood. Dread Queen of Light, indeed.

Fun Fact! The Sisters of Twilight start at war with the Stone Horn tribe of beastmen. The only reason I know this is because they randomly attacked one of my settlements and then got viet cong’d shortly afterwards. Normally they ended up dying so fast in the first few turns and I was legitimately surprised because I never noticed it before.

only now do i realise i had these the wrong way round. through their entire campaign i assumed Naestra was the pale haired one and Arahan was the dark haired.

[@Outside85]

I did the same... and I think it may have to do with the same logics that in the age of cowboy shows and movies gave the good guy had a white(ish) hat and the bad guy had a black hat.

[@thenightqueen0]

The arrows they use might’ve also helped in the confusion since the arrow of dawn makes it look like it comes from Arahan and the arrows of dusk from Naestra cause of the color scheme. Also it makes more sense to see Naestra with sweet braids while Arahan has the free wild hair. But yeah now we know better. 😅

[@alenceon]

I’m so glad that you used the dismounted mod for The Sisters of Twilight. 😊 I hope that the Creative Assembly will make you able to have Naestra and Arahan be dismounted and fight on foot for real in the game if the community asks them enough and give them enough feedback. It’s also very disappointing that the Wood Elves still use the same battle map soundtracks as The Empire, which is a problem that many other factions from the first game have like The Beastmen, Brettonia and especially Dwarves, they just all really need their own unique and specific music for their factions. Also the Elf twins “Naestra and Arahan” are one of the most sweetest and prettiest playable characters in the “Total War:Warhammer” games along with their Hippy Galadriel Queen Ariel and the graceful and loving Allariele The Everqueen. 🧝‍♀️🧝‍♀️🧝‍♂️🧝‍♀️🧝‍♀️😍😘💗💗💗💗 Overall though this is a great video “Cody”, and It’s been great to watch your channel grow and release some wonderful content over the past three years! 😊😊😊

Well due to certain in-game dialog and the fact they work closely with G-dubs I think its safe to assume they are Ariel's daughters "We are all Children of Ariel" Some more than others sister" I take this as saying all wood elves are "children" of Ariel But they are Children of Ariel
