01 / Structure

A compact open world

Compact describes the intended density and connection of the world, not a published square-mile measurement. The useful player expectation is that routes can fold back, branch, and connect while remaining deliberate. Free exploration gives those branches purpose without requiring the wiki to draw a speculative map.

The world page therefore records named environments and route relationships. It does not assign travel times, region levels, completion percentages, or a total number of dungeons. Those details require direct game evidence and can be added after launch without changing the ledger structure.

02 / Environments

Temples, forests, graves, citadels

Temples and bone citadels suggest monumental built spaces; forbidden forests and icy graves point toward harsher natural and funerary environments. The supplied material supports the names and the overall range, but not a one-to-one route between them.

Official screenshots can show the world’s ash, stone, fire, and cold atmosphere without proving which named region appears in every frame. Captions on this wiki therefore describe the images as official gameplay scenes rather than relabeling them as a location that the source does not identify.

03 / Beta path

The first explorable region

The Open Beta moves from the Prologue into the first explorable region. Beacon cleansing supplies a main objective, while optional dungeons and hidden mini-bosses support detours. This is the clearest current example of how a compact connected world can combine direction with free exploration.

Marrow Keep is the later named landmark, and the route continues toward Magdalena. The exact path remains for the player to discover. The walkthrough follows those names in sequence while the world page keeps them inside the larger exploration model.
