The
ardaven
is
a
Horror,
a
class
of
creature
that
Just
compares
to
an
NPC
dishing
out
quests.
Most
NPCs,
though,
don’t
infest
your
heroes
with
mosquitoes
if
they
fail.
Covenant is inventing nasties as well as borrowing from folklore
Just
credits
his
time
working
with
renowned
Witcher character artist Paweł Mielniczuk as an influence on the design of Gord’s creatures: “It needs more blood, more dirt and more spit on it.”
The
world
outside
your
walls
is
dark
and
desaturated,
only
gaining
colour
when
you
light
it
with
a
scout’s
torch.
“Wherever
the
light
source
ends,
the
colour
ends,”
Just
says.
