New Mini Story Pack Spotlight
In our Q1-Q2 2020 Roadmap post we announced that one of our upcoming projects for Q2 this year is launching the first Mini Story Pack. In the first Story Pack you’ll discover a side of Patreayl you’ve never seen before. Using the newly developed “micronizer” tool, shrink down and explore a miniature world teeming with life—as well as a few secret cities. Your first assignment? Track down the lizard Zaarp, leader of a hidden society of sentient lizards, who’s mysteriously gone missing.

[h2]New Zones[/h2]
With the first Mini Story Pack, we'll be introducing four new mini zones, as well as a micro version of Pierre's shop. With the exception of Pierre’s shop, all zones will be accessed from different locations throughout the greater Highsteppe area.

Explore the lizard village and talk to its inhabitants, then take a stroll along the zone's walking trails underneath towering mushrooms and flowers – but keep your weapon close, for the lizards aren't the only creatures living in the area. Be sure to also keep an eye out for climbing vines, which will allow you to explore additional areas of the zones in search of secret caves and hidden treasures, along with some interesting views.
[h3]Hollow’s Creek[/h3]
Below the deck at the top of Leisa Falls is a hidden world teeming with life. This area is the home station of the Foragers, a collection of lizards devoted to gathering and distributing food to lizards throughout the region. There's plenty of beauty to behold in Hollow's Creek, from the blooms and the lily pads to the glow of the moonflies at dusk. But be on your guard, for there's more than that lurking among the reedflutes of the creek.
[h3]Thorndell Meadow[/h3]
Along the road between the city of Highsteppe and the plateau above it is Thorndell Meadow.Though it might seem peaceful from above, upon shrinking down you’ll find it anything but. Make your way around the maze of wagon wheels and other debris to find safety at the Patrol’s outpost and get a better view of the surrounding dangers. Or clamber up planks and ropes to explore new territory and find a few surprises.
[h3]The Lair[/h3]
The final zone of the story takes you deep into a crevice at the back of Sarrow’s Cave. Little light penetrates this lair, so be sure to pack your lantern before you embark on the final stretch of your journey. The last thing you want is to lose your bearings in the maze of tunnels that make up this cave...
