rihapat 236 Posted May 3 Ahoy, Ylanders! Some of you may have already caught the little hint about what's coming up in the next Story Yland. The fancy-looking, slender guy made of stone, holding a weird astrolabe-like contraption, tells us a little bit about the next focus of Elmwood's interest. In the upcoming update 2.3, after Sunken Sands in the Arid region, the Adventurer and Mr. Horatio Reginald Elmwood would delve into the next region to visit some magic-using guests. As Mr. Elmwood learns from the ancient library, there are some humanoid sailors from a different world who are building something in the Monsoonal landscape. These guys have greyish skin, grow no facial hair, and have pointy ears. Who are they? You've guessed it, those are the Elves. But we are not going to spoil anything else about them. If you want to learn more about the Elves, you will have to play it yourself. And, oh boy, there will be chances to learn a lot for those who are willing. There are over 20 unique lore entries for you to find and read. This is something not yet seen in previous Story Ylands, but if you, as the players, like this option and are eager to study the lore behind each region more, we shall wear out our keyboards to catch up. While working with the Elves, we also came to a conclusion about other NPCs and created a new "dehumanized humanoid monster type" that would, in time, replace all aggressive NPCs in Random Encounters, so you know at first glance if someone is definitely an enemy. This should also prevent players from mistaking the Yland natives for something they are not. Some of those new enemies will be encountered on the Monsoonal Story Yland as well. So, sharpen your blades and your wits for the upcoming challenges and stay classy, Ylanders! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
