Episode 13.2: Into the Unknown
The discovery of the Ash Vacuum has brought new reasons for adventurers to brave the unknown. Two new races have been discovered known only as the Laphine and the Sapha. The Laphine are a fairy-like race that live in the lush grounds west of the Expedition camp. The Sapha are a proud tribe of wood creatures that live in the barren snow grounds east of the Expedition camp. Each race has sworn to protect the World Tree Yggdrasil and have been fighting a war spanning hundreds of years.
Rune Midgard scientists have discovered ruins in a cave west of the Expedition camp and have reason to believe that it leads to the roots of the World Tree Yggdrasil. Commander Hibba Agip, leader of the Expedition, has commanded an official investigation of these ruins. Some adventurers have already tried exploring the area, but they lack the ability to communicate with the Laphine and Sapha tribe who bear intimate knowledge of these ruins. There are even rumors that a dragon has been seen in the cave, but none can either confirm or deny them. Are you brave enough to venture into the unknown?
Continue the expedition of the Ash Vacuum and discover the new lands and races that await you!
Maps
The Laphine people west of the Expedition Camp live in a village known as Splendide. As they are not originally from this world, their close bond with the World Tree Yggdrasil allowed them to transform the area they occupy into lush green fields. They have dedicated their lives to protecting the World Tree Yggdrasil and are wary of strangers, so it is best to watch yourself while exploring their lands.
The Sapha in the snow fields east of the Expedition Camp live in a village known as Manuk. These wood-like creatures mine an ore called bradium that is found only in the Ash Vacuum. Not much else is known about the Sapha due to their reclusive nature.
Instance: Nidhoggur's Nest
The World Tree Yggdrasil has been protected for centuries by the dragon guardian known as Nidhoggur. The dimensional rift caused by Satan Morocc's resurrection wounded the World Tree Yggdrasil. The great guardian Nidhoggur also suffered in the wake of the torn space-time gap between Rune Midgard and the Ash Vacuum. Nidhoggur has forgotten its role as protector and now attacks anyone who ventures into its nest beneath the World Tree's roots. Assemble your party of brave adventurers and defeat Nidhoggur to help the Laphine heal the wounded Yggdrasil.
