Oldhim, Grandfather of Eternity

Oldhim, Grandfather of Eternity was introduced in the 2021 set Tales of Aria for the Flesh and Blood trading card game, developed by Legend Story Studios. As a legendary hero card, Oldhim serves as a central pillar of the Elemental Guardian class, representing the ancient, stoic protectors of the Aria region who draw power from both earth and ice. The design concept focuses on defensive attrition, rewarding players for prolonged survival and careful resource management throughout a match.

The character design and card illustration were executed by the studio's internal art team, consistent with the game’s high-fantasy, painterly aesthetic. Upon release, Oldhim quickly became a definitive figure in the game's competitive landscape, celebrated by the community for his thematic cohesion and complex playstyle. He remains a quintessential example of the game’s focus on class-specific mechanics, reflecting the studio's goal of creating distinct identities for each hero within the trading card game ecosystem.
