Exploration
"Into the Unknown, For Glory and Renown"
A Vast and Changing World
The world of Elara is immense, offering diverse regions for brave souls to chart, from sun-drenched coastlines to ancient, tangled forests. However, the most defining feature of the landscape is The Rift. Situated just beyond Lorehaven, this chaotic expanse is constantly shifting. Its terrain, dangers, and treasures are randomized, ensuring that an expedition into its depths is a unique and unpredictable challenge.
Discovery and Quests
Venturing into the wilds is not merely about survival; it is the primary path to discovery. Exploration is how you find Quests. Speaking with stranded travelers, uncovering ancient ruins, or stumbling upon strange magical phenomena can all trigger new adventures. In addition, many of the NPCs in Lorehaven are looking for help from adventurers and you can use the greet command to discover what they might have in store.
Completing these quests is vital for your character's growth. Success yields valuable rewards, including substantial experience to level up your abilities, rare items, and the social currency of Titles and Reputation.
Titles of Renown
Your deeds define you. As you accomplish significant feats—slaying legendary beasts, uncovering deep secrets, or mastering a craft—you will collect Titles. These are marks of distinction that you own. You can choose to display any one of your collected titles alongside your name at any time, allowing other players in the game to instantly recognize your achievements.
Faction Reputation
Your actions in the world echo through the halls of power in Lorehaven. Through specific deeds and completed quests, you earn Reputation with the city's various Factions.
Gaining favor is not just for show. As you level up your reputation with a Faction, you unlock exclusive benefits. This can include access to previously restricted areas of the city or world, high-level faction-specific quests, and unique gameplay mechanics unavailable to outsiders.
