The Valley is a location encompassing nearly all of the mod. Under the hot desert sun, the Valley takes claim to various ecosystems of diverse origins and denizens. It is a vast, hot region of land containing sand dunes and a scorching climate. You embark on expeditions into the Valley, making your aerial headquarters aboard The Flameseeker, a large zeppelin aircraft that patrols the topaz-hued skies.
Key Locations
Remnants of the old Kvarotz civilization can be seen protruding from the enormous arenaceous terrain, a necropolis of a fallen empire. This is the first explorable dungeon, known as the Catacombs. Though the souls of the Kvarotz people are long gone, their creations stil remain and dwell the darkling regions of the Catacombs. However, the fall of the Kvarotz empire has also attracted pilferers and plunderers from other nations. The Levantine, sent forth by the Vizier, attempt to seize and recover the lost treasures and technologies of the Catacombs.
Further above the sands is the Exposed Interior. A wasteland full of ravaging matriarchal Wildlanders, this region is a fierce battleground for those who which to adventure and secure treasures from the dunes. The interior is a unique region wherein expeditions can begin during the day or night, and has drastic effects on your enemies and far more.
Underneath the Valley lies the Treasury, a subterranean region containing pantomimes of curios, eagerly vigilant for any foolish adventurers to fall for its trap, as the Cactonids lie in wait. A former vault of the Kvarotz empire, this subterrestrial valuable depository was reclaimed by nature itself, twisting and infesting life after the fall of the empire. Wildlife has also returned and is featured in many terrifying scuffles across the Treasury.
Even deeper into the abyssal depths of the Valley can the Caverns be found. These aphotic, crimson passageways are home to the unrefined Troglodytes, transformed abominations of previously human slaves of the Kvarotz Empire, their humanity perverted and warped beyond recognition. The Troglodytes, however, still retain their sense of community, and will pounce in swarms when provoked or threatened.
Finally, we arrive at the summit of the Valley: The Black Reliquary. A mysterious, primordial megalith towering above it all; the source of amber, and ancient evils far beyond comprehension. This region is the equivalent of The Darkest Dungeon in the base game, and cannot be played as of now.
