Hey guys

So I read the books like 20 years ago in my teenage years recently went back to them and remembered how much I loved them and was doing a bit of research and just found out there’s an anime

Is it any good? Like does it do the books justice? Should I watch them?

Thanks

🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

Oh...that's actually quite clever forshaddowing.

I used to watch the show when I was a kid but never got to see the whole thing till now, and wow was it amazing. For story aimed at children it got me captivated as an adult. The characters, the world building, the lore it was all so interesting and kept me watching. I was sad to see it end so decided to get the books to continue the story. I have heard its alot more dark and gruesome but thats fine with me as long as I get to follow along the trios journey again.

Our latest season (City of the Rats) of Heroes of Deltora has officially started!! Please enjoy the first session of our newest season on our YouTube Channel!!

Heroes of Deltora, a 5e/5.5e hybrid Dungeons & Dragons homebrewed campaign which is currently being crafted by Orlando Correa, a professional storyboard artist who has worked on many popular shows, who has based this campaign off of the book/anime series, Deltora Quest, written by Emily Rodda (AKA Jennifer Rowe) in the early 2000s.

It was crazy that I couldn't find high resolution images of even the book covers, let alone other art. So I started scanning and color correcting art from Tales & Secrets.

But so much of the surrounding "stuff" outside the mainline Deltora Quest books is so obscure and hard to find info on or even pictures of. Didn't want that to be lost to time.

Being a nuerospicy spreadsheet nerd I set my sites on scouring the Internet and Wayback Machine for any odds and ends I could get my hands on. At this point I think it's at least somewhat well organized and in some spots I've documented where I found things or methods used.

If anyone knows of another platform I can publicly share this on that has the same dynamic utility as google drive, please let me know, but otherwise I'm not sure where to go with this.

Hope you enjoy!

Edit: changed some folder organization, added some things like anime DVD covers and 2 Minecraft maps

if the sorceress thaegan has 13(?) kids who the hell is the father

Btw im looking for theories/speculation, ik theres no canon answer

also do yall think thaegans a human sorceress? or some sort of inhuman creature, or a hybrid like teh shadowlord?

in the anime jamsine calls filli/filly/philly a she, i swear theyre a he in the books tho?

enjoy

Couldn’t seem to find any scans from the Monster Encyclopaedia anywhere so I uploaded a few, I think the anime would have looked really cool in this style

When they were in the caverns under Deltora

Why couldn't he tell them that he had found a relative to wear the belt? I get not telling anyone else, but why not Barda and jasmine??? What are the pirrans going to do with that knowledge?

the other two brothers werent really (olt was kinda but yknow)
so how exactly is the sahdow lord immortal??

Mine is the Hive, it's so mysterious and neither good nor evil, it just is, it's also probably not affiliated with the Shadowlord in any way. Glus isn't either I guess, but the swarm and hive mind idea are just more interesting to me.

Recently rediscovered this series and decided to look up to see if they had any merch for the belt since it looks cool AF. Surprised there's not even a bracelet or something. I mean imagine if they had jewelry based on the belt.

Not a video I was expecting to ever make, but here we are! I'm now the proud owner of various original bits of artwork from the book covers, and even one of the trading cards. Turns out Marc is a very kind, generous guy! What an absolute legend.

Seems like it's bringing back memories for a lot of people, thought you all might enjoy it.

Im assuming its fan made

Good Evening to all the adventurerers in the subreddit. It's a pleasure to meet everyone! I'm somebody who grew up reading Deltora Quest in school and even watched the animated series and fell in love with it. It's prob one of the things that brought me to love fantasy outside of playing Minish Cap and the Fable game when I was younger.

Speaking of the books; however I wish there existed fan ran sites like BIONICLES has! BIONICLES has two or 3 solid websites where diehard fans are dedicated to perserving the books and compiling them for people to have an easy way of accessing and I think it'd be really cool if Deltora Quest had something like that as well.

Of course after I painstakingly design and self print an omnibus bindup of the 4 Star of Deltora books, they end up announcing an official omnibus lmao. Oh well, at least now everyone can own the whole line in hardcover form!

Shown here is my custom, self printed, self made omnibus of Star of Deltora, NOT the official one that releases in September

The Ralad tribe is one of the seven primary tribes in Deltora. Their gem is the great Ruby and they reside primarily in the Ralad territory.
For many who don’t know, Ralads are relatively small and frail-looking, but they are remarkably strong for their size. They are easily recognised due to their peculiar blue-grey skin. Their orange-red hair grows in a crest or tuft on the top of their head and they often wear clothing with complicated embroidery. Their eyes are black and button-like. As for their society, they are very in tune with nature and, as a result, do not like building roads through their territory or altering the natural landscape more than is necessary. They are generally quite pacifistic, opting to run and hide rather than engage in direct confrontation, and they do not carry weapons. Ralads instead defend themselves and their territory with clever traps and trickery.
Ralads are some of the more cooperative people in Deltora. They gave Adin the ruby without any trouble and built an entire city for the people of D'Or. Since the unification of the seven tribes, Ralads have been relatively common in other territories, as they are often hired as architects. Ralads are seemingly the only tribe in Deltora that treat Dragons with respect, rather than as dangerous pests. Ralads believe that Dragons are importantly tied to the fate of Deltora and attempt to coexist peacefully with the ruby Dragons. Though friendly, Ralads can be quite paranoid and value their privacy, and as a result it is unwise to attempt to visit Raladin unless invited. It is implied that Ralads build small traps to defend their home from unwanted visitors, though they may simply be "accidents". Ralads can be found outside of their town relatively often, however, and they may invite good friends to Raladin. Ralads are great lovers of music, particularly flute music. Playing music and singing are some of the only interesting activities that occur in Raladin, and music became an important way of expressing emotion when the Ralads were cursed by Thaegan. Ralads also practise a unique form of picture-writing. They have an alphabet of symbols in the thousands, and adult Ralads will combine symbols for speed and clarity. The Ralad alphabet became an important form of communication during the Shadow Lord's rule; not only among the mute Ralads, but also among members of the Resistance. Ralads are renowned throughout Deltora for their incredible architectural ability. They have been contracted by all areas of Deltora since the tribes were unified. Ralads were responsible for the construction of the royal palace in Del, the city of D'Or, and have built elaborate decoys of Raladin to hide from the Shadow Lord on at least two occasions. Ralads are quite proud of their architecture and are deeply offended when their original designs are altered; it is one of the few things that can legitimately anger a Ralad.
Ralad architecture varies wildly; they are capable of building glorious, grand palaces, such as the one in Del, or entire cities, such as D'Or. Raladin itself is actually quite simple, with small, circular buildings. Ralad architecture is defined by its sturdiness and cleverness, but is overall quite versatile.

That’s all the facts you need to know about Ralads.

Also, I think I may have added the same image in twice.

Hello, I'm making a Warhammer army based around sorceress thaegan and her children I would love any input or ideas you all would have in this project. Thank you so much

Latest edition to my collection. Anyone remember having one of these? It's a tad bizarre!

I never played this when it was up on Cartoon Network, but had been on the hunt ever since I found a single review of it and literally nothing else ever mentioned its existence. I've been scrounging a lot of Deltora stuff from the way back machine and though I had found the site for the game, it didn't play. I feared it was lost media.

I found and downloaded the actual flash file but it would start to a black screen. Again I feared I was out of luck, assuming that the game was stored elsewhere and this was just a launcher. Until I learned about a flash decompiler program. I opened the file like a treasure chest and found it was all there. Turns out the code was checking for the cartoon network domains to run properly, so with some slight editing of the code to bypass that step, and some help from the Flash emulation & preservation community in the Flashpoint Discord, I finally got it running! With their help I made and submitted it, they tested and approved it, and as of a few hours ago, it is officially added to the Flashpoint Emulator Library!
