Dev Diary #3 - The Biomes

[p][/p][p]Travel with us, for now only with your finger on the map, and discover the sights beyond the veil!
From charred villages that never stop burning to swamp tribes and cults, Sangavia is a realm worthy of exploring.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Hell’s Chasm[/h2][p]Our first stop is the land of ash and smoke. When Voragos’ rule fell, the land was attacked with fire and is now considered cursed. While most of it was destroyed by flames, there are still plenty of reasons for a visit![/p][p] [/p][h3]Burning Village[/h3][p]In the heart of Hell’s Chasm, you can find a village cursed with ever-burning fire — or the remnants of it. Because the people had nowhere to go, you can still find them roaming around. They often speak of hearing a woman’s wails coming from the nearby cave…[/p][p][/p][h3]Hunted Undergrounds[/h3][p]Back in the days before the curse, many villagers used to work in the cave mining ore to make a living, even though sometimes they never came back. The cave has since been abandoned. Everyone believes that it’s now a resting place for some kind of creature.[/p][p][/p][h3]Hill Top[/h3][p]The upper village was somehow spared from the curse. Some believe that it was thanks to the Eternal Mother, who watches over this place still. In the church atop the hill, she is depicted wearing a crow mask - a symbol of protection, and a warning, to any bats that might want to get too close.[/p][p][/p][p] [/p][h2]The Grove of Sorrows[/h2][p]Since anyone can remember, the region around the magical tree has maintained its own group of people who believe in and worship nature. Under the watchful eye of their leader, Craita, they built their village with intricate designs inspired by elves. Rumor has it that within the cult, there is a small group of worshippers whose beliefs are more sinister than the others...[/p][p][/p][h3]Hideout[/h3][p]These fanatics meet out of sight to perform their rituals. They believe that by design, Nature is cruel and evil — and that these qualities must be worshipped too.[/p][h3]Abandoned Gold Mine[/h3][p]A little further from the grove itself is a gold mine. It became one of the homes for Inquisitors who guard it not just for the gold veins, but also for the many hidden treasures inside.[/p][p][/p][p] [/p][h2]Fey Marshes[/h2][p]The unwelcoming environment of the swamps has made its inhabitants more resilient and resourceful. They found that the key to surviving is using the various plants![/p][p][/p][h3]The Beast's Cave[/h3][p]The resourcefulness of the people living in the marshes has only gotten them so far. The knowledge of how to use swamp flora came to them through worship, by bringing sacrifices to the beast in the cave.[/p][p][/p][h3]Vampiric Ruins[/h3][p]A piece of history preserved by the marshes are the old ruins from the times when vampires ruled these lands.[/p][p][/p][p]We invite you to come explore yourself and taste the local flavors of Sangavia![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink] [/p][p][/p]
