Story
As hope’s light dawns once more, a hero looks to new horizons…
Winds of opportunity bring a visitor from the New World, seeking the Warrior of Light’s aid in a rite of succession to determine Tural’s next ruler.
Alongside Alphinaud, Alisaie, and Erenville, the Warrior of Light embarks upon a journey across the Indigo Deep. Should rumor be true, the contest may lead them to the fabled gates of a city of gold.
Little do they know that it will also see the Scions divided…
The New World: Tural
We expand our horizons from the well-traveled three great continents to beyond the Indigo Deep, where adventures wait beneath western skies.
New Hub City
Tuliyollal in Yok Tural
The seat of the federal nation state governing Tural, Tuliyollal. it is located in the northern reaches of Yok Tural.
The nation’s ruler is currently Gulool Ja Ja, a two-headed mamool ja.
Tuliyollal is a pluralistic city with an established sea route to Old Sharlayan.
New Areas
Urqopacha in Yok Tural
A mountainous region in Yok Tural, home to peoples both exceedingly large and unusually small in stature.
Over a thousand years ago—long before Tuliyollal came to be—Urqopacha was the proud heart of the giants’ empire, which spanned the entirety of Yok Tural. While their descendants live on in the region, only the ruins remain of the empire’s glory days.
Yak Tel in Yok Tural
A thick forest accessible from Tuliyollal via dirigible flight over the southeastern mountains. So dense is its foliage that the forest floor sees little sunlight.
Home to the primary settlements of Tural’s hrothgar and mamool ja, and replete with stunning cenotes harboring cerulean ponds and springs.
