Hello Gatewalkers!
Today, we are going to show another world that you will be able to explore while playing Gatewalkers. Members of the Guild call this world the Sky Rocks. A characteristic feature of this world is the lack of solid ground. Gravitational anomalies make have turned this world into a collection of pieces soil and rocks floating in the air like islands in a sea of clouds. No wonder that this world is the home of Volarians, a winged humanoid race capable of thriving in the skies. Volarians are a technologically advanced race. In addition to developing advanced weaponry, they have been able to master some of the machines of the Ancient. Advanced technology and Volarians’ impulsive nature are an explosive combo, so each Gatewalker should be especially cautious when travelling through the Sky Rocks.
Volarians have created a hierarchical society with several settlements.
Sky Rocks are also inhabited by plant turtles, which grow valuable resources on their shells. Other creatures, called Drerguu, are bred by Volarians for food.
Apart from aggressive inhabitants, Sky Rocks are a dangerous place because of weather anomalies. Dynamic actions (such as combat) done during exploration, cause electrical charge to accumulate in living organisms. If that electrical charge surpasses a critical level, a deadly electrostatic discharge may occur.
To defend Gatewalkers from electrical discharges, Victor (the Guild’s scientist) has developed lightning rods. Lightning rods are devices that you put on the ground close to an organism with a high level of electrical charge. The device forces an electrostatic discharge that hits the rod instead of a human being. Lightning rods can save lives as well as help decrease levels of electrical charge.
