7 March 2013 - Hampshire, UK/... In
Dragon’s Prophet, players will be able to choose the area
they want to start their adventure from, after being attacked by a
band of traitors. Introducing the starter zone
Bakra last week, Infernum Productions wants to guide you
today through the many wonders of the second starter area, named
Satuma. Adventurers will be able to complete more
than 200 quests to unravel the dark plots tearing apart this once
peaceful region and reach level 30.
Satuma is located in
Mangard which forms the western part of Auratia. This
large area consists of a wide plains surrounded by high mountains.
Numerous battles were fought here during the First Dragon War, each
changing the area a bit more, eventually turning it in a massive
natural lake where all the main rivers in
Mangard meet.
Water is an important element in the life of
Satuma. Many villages are populated by fishermen, using
the vast resources of the surrounding lakes and rivers. The village
of
Hunak is no different, except it is located just above the
Kylar Abyss, the point where all the rivers in
Satuma meet. To the east of
Hunak lies an ancient and lush forest, the
Avanah
Forest. This large and flourishing forest is the main
source of construction materials for the village. However, it also
shelters a great threat, looming over the nearby villages: the
Forest Giants, fierce and terrible creatures, which never miss an
opportunity to attack lumberjacks foolish enough to venture
themselves too deep in the forest.
The
Avanah Forest is not the only place where danger awaits
our players. In the northwest part of
Satuma a fortified city was built halfway up a
mountain by the famous and sly General Deyarka who once led an evil
army during the First Dragon War. The city was badly damaged in
battle and captured by Osira forces afterwards, but the ruins
are now home to another species of sub-humans, namely the Wolfmen,
who are the reason why the
City of
Deyarka is now called the
Wolfman Stronghold.
Players will have a difficult, but rewarding, time exploring
Satuma, trying to find clues about the traitors who
attacked them and what their motivations were. Many abandoned
dungeons await players and up to four of their friends for a group
experience with different levels of difficulty. But they will for
sure appreciate the hospitality of
Tahkar, in the northern part of
Satuma. This picturesque little town is famous for its
great hospitality and the large number of hotels it harbors. In
order to entice as many customers as possible, the inn owners here
spare no effort to outdo each other with colorful signs and
delicious food, making it a welcome place for our worn adventurers
to rest.
