Continents

Blackmarsh


"A land of cold rain and dark, decaying castles, Blackmarsh appears harsh and uninviting to the casual visitor. It has become even less so since the coming of Eidolon: once-quaint villages and fortresses have now been overrun with Golems, Fallen Angels, and a host of other vile creatures.

Any hero wishing to rid Blackmarsh of evil would have to fight his or her way through several distinct locales: the Grand Cathedral, the Underhalls, the Mage’s Tower, and more. Eidolon’s minions have also infested the sewers beneath Blackmarsh’s greatest cities–and these, too, must be expunged of their evil denizens.

Eidolon’s inner sanctum is rumored to lie somewhere within the lands of Blackmarsh, though none can attest to this with any certainty"


Mazaera

"Mazaera is a land of lush rain forests and nomadic tribesmen. A few scattered centers of civilization have been carved from the heart of Mazaera’s steamy jungles, but the remainder of the continent remains largely untouched by man.

Mazaera is filled with the ruins of ancient civilizations, many of which have now been claimed by Eidolon. The legendary Plaza of the Sun, Court of 1,000 Warriors, and Tomb of the High Priest are all famous sites long since overrun by vile beasts. Perhaps the most formidable of these creatures is the lithe and deadly Were Jaguar, which makes its home exclusively in Mazaera’s warm climate. Adventurers beware!"


Thysis

"Thysis is a continent dominated by desert: only the land adjoining the coast shows signs of abundant vegetation. Within this barren desert, several great empires have risen and crumbled–despite the apparent hardships of living in such a hostile climate.

The distinctive culture of Thysis has always seemed unusual to denizens of other continents, and is shrouded with even more mystery since the coming of Eidolon. The great pyramids of Thysis, both whole and ruined, have been conquered by hordes of Mummies and Golems. The fantastical Palace of Horus and the forbidding Temple of Set have likewise fallen to Eidolon’s inexorable onslaught. Only the mightiest of heroes will succeed in this strange, hostile land, where Scorpions run rampant, and sealed tombs conceal horrors beyond mortal imagination"


Septimus

"The most heavily populated of Thyrion’s four continents, Septimus is a land of urban decadence. Its citizens are cosmopolitan, sampling the best that Thyrion has to offer from the comfort of their richly appointed palaces.

Unfortunately, the wealth and comfort of Septimus bred complacency and sloth. Aside from the ascetic devotees of Kravnos, Septimus’ citizens were ill prepared for the coming of Eidolon. Septimus’ grand structures fell within hours of Eidolon’s initial assault: the grand Forum, the multitudinous temples, the famous bath houses and hanging gardens. All these grand locales were conquered in record time, and Septimus’ citizens were forced to watch their carefully built cities reduced to ruins overnight.

Eidolon’s minions keep a particularly strong vigil over Septimus, due to its wealth and importance in the workings of Thyrion. Led by deadly Medusas, these armies will present a formidable challenge to even the mightiest champion"

Q.

Reserved for updates

Reserved for screenshots

 

[rmancrusader]

Hmmm, sounds nice, are you basing it off of anything?

 

[Paradukes]

Good luck.

I always liked Hexen/Heratic, and although this might not be the best engine for a remake, I daresay you could do something good with it.

 

[Kolba]

Well, thanks for nice comments. Anyone can help?

 

[Aurus]

Hmmm, sounds nice, are you basing it off of anything?

Hexen is an old computer game, sort of like Doom with more fantasy.
I am really looking forward to this mod! The best of luck to you.

 

[Kolba]

Thank you Aurus. Before I start any modding I start a poll for choosing a name. Please vote!

 

[The Pope]

Make sure to include a puzzle where you spend several hours searching for a tiny crack in a wall to smash :p

 

[Kolba]

Hehe The gameplay will be like a Hero & Blade mod - only dungeons and monsters in them.

 

[Nethoras]

this looks sweet, I like the classes, this may actually get me playing m&b again, but this is gonna be a dungeon crawler?

 

[Kolba]

Not exactly. It's not pure dungeon crawler - you can walk freely on map and you can hire troops in your faction outposts ,but you can't fight every time in battles outside. There are too some things to increase and sometimes deacrease the mod difficulty:

1) A lot of locations don't need a keys for them, so you can enter them when would you like.
2) Some locations need keys, so you must first get keys to enter them.
3) There aren't any towns with merchants, weapon sellers etc. - you can only obtain items in dungeons.
4) Before you leave every continent you must fight in a battle with some monsters and you must kill their boss.
5) You can come back to previous continents all time.

 

[Shiro]

Very cool idea, Hexen II was one of my favourites... but are you going to include the continent and enemies from the expansion? I liked the yak-minotaur for one...

 

[Kolba]

I don't played Portal of Praevus, so I don't do this new continent and monsters.

 

[Shiro]

Oh, ok.
