Main changes

Weather

"Ain't no cloud in the skies!" - we'd have answered you a day ago. But the weather has changed drastically overnight: cold winds of the frozen wasteland below bring frigid storms to the islands floating above. At the same time all those fluffy clouds in between the islands erupt in thunder, making skies unsafe for travels. An unprepared adventurer venturing out of the Cradle is risking to become a frozen corpse in mere minutes.

Rituals

Once upon a time, dragons gifted humanity secret rituals of transforming flame into the frozen flame. With its help people gained unimaginable strength and ability to use magic.

But the details of such rituals were lost to time. Only lone Obelisks remain, rewarding players with frozen flame for solving their secrets.

New Islands

This time we've added 15 more islands to the outskirts of the Cradle of Keepers. Among them some of our seasoned players will find familiar locations - the Poisonous Temple and an island with a Titan.

This isn't the finalised version of the islands - we'll keep on improving them over the future updates. The portal in the Cradle of Keepers is still closed, meaning you can't enter the Sanctuary quite yet.

World Map and Beacons

The world map now works properly and accurately represents the placement of islands in the world. On top of that, you can now find a new device in the world, that will show the player nearby objects that they haven't discovered yet.

Basic Tips in the Prologue

We've added some basic combat and mechanical tips to the Prologue. It's just a start, and we'll be updating both the visuals and the tips themselves in the future updates.
