About this image

Two years ago, when I first started building the city of Tyrendar, there was a seventh district planned. Due to its immense complexity in design however, it was omitted from the final mod. Yet today, I stumbled upon these abandoned resources and decided to make something of them..

"Valorwind" is now a standalone settlement on a faraway island. The settlement is based on my original designs, spiraling up and around a hilltop, thick with foliage, and built on an island largely inspired by Camoran's Paradise. Far from finished... but I'm hoping to eventually transform Valorwind into a proper starting area, so that players will be eased into the world of Areth.. as opposed to arriving in the basement of a tower in the middle of nowhere. In addition to an immersive transition, this "tutorial island" might also be a good place for testing future gameplay features.
