In this diary, we wish to lift the veil of secrecy and talk about one new location that will be coming into the game in the next update.
We are speaking about Scorch Town, a city on the edge of the wasteland.
There, it stands tall amidst white‑hot sand, cliffs, and rusted oil rigs. A bastion of civilization built in the name of progress, extracting black oil through the marvels of technology and iron will. With time, it became the symbol of technological supremacy and the rational mind of the world.
It grew around drilling rigs and a train station that connects it to other parts of the new continent. There is always something happening there, a constant flow of oil, hardware, contraband, and people.
On a first glance, you could make a mistake thinking that this is nothing more than just a hub for mining and processing. But there is so much more beneath it. In this city of contrasts, every lighthearted moment can turn into tragedy in mere moments. Joyful lighting hides an ever‑growing social pressure. The atmosphere of rebellion is in the air, luring and testing anyone who dares to visit.
And this is the place for the yearly conclave of hellfires, who come to create a magic fair of flame and sorcery, as they challenge the entire city to a symbolic duel of viewpoints. In a world where magic and technology have been clashing for a while now, Scorch Town becomes one of the hot points of philosophical and political struggle.
That’s where our new quest “Thunder in the Desert” will lead you - right into the middle of the action. Try your luck at the fair, and experience the heat of the conflict for yourself. And if you dare, you can even try to uncover the mysteries that this city tries so hard to conceal.
To be more straightforward, the main things you will be able to do here are:
Take part in festivities! Have fun while you can.
Delve into the new location. This is an entirely new setting that offers quite a few landmarks to explore.
Involve yourself in the underlying conflict of the city, and the battle between sorcery and science at large.
Help out a mysterious mage who is willing to join your party in exchange. We will talk about him more in our next diary.
This is it for today. We hope we were able to intrigue you in this new part of our world. As it will be coming into the game soon. For now, we can’t give an exact date, but rest assured that we are working day and night to bring it to life.
