Ahoy Astral Captains!
Today we start a journey into the new content coming soon with the next update Allods Online: Lords of Destiny! Welcome to the first preview of many more previews to come leading up to the exciting update!
We would like to first introduce a new Sarnautian race, the Tequanis. It is now time to set sail towards their lands and to discover more about this ancient and mysterious people!
Your faction leader will send you there on a secret mission, but beware! Astral demons are always lurking in the darkness, waiting for ships to attack! You will be far away from home in the unknown Astral, but don’t worry, it doesn’t happen so often to leave a demon behind and to find a tropical paradise at the end of a wormhole!
Deep in the Astral, a forgotten archipelago awaits to be explored. Its name, Pearl Ring, has been lost for centuries and the way to reach it as just been retrieved. It is part of a bigger allod called Irdrih, which is as wide as Holy Land, Eljune and Coba Plateau put together.
Welcome to the Jungle!
Disembark your ship and, while you are still trying to put all the pieces together, you will start to explore a tropical jungle with stunning landscapes and many different types of wildlife. Be careful though: not all these cute animals will be friendly, many of them are fierce enemies!
One of the first inhabitants you will have the chance to meet are the Aviaks. At your arrival in the area, you will discover soon that this tropical paradise is shaken by a war between two different factions of Aviaks. When you find yourself alone, far away from home, one of the first things to do is find some allies: fly on the back of the colorful Squawkers to discover the islands while helping your new Aviaks friends!
Discover the amazing flora and fauna of this tropical map, take part in an arcane ritual, and challenge the natural elements to gain the respect of the Wind people!
The landscape of the Pearl Ring map is stunning. Dive into the clear waters to discover a colorful underwater environment with many mysteries to unravel.
Do you remember the days when you had been sent to the Holy Land with an important quest? Here you will find an element to bring back your memories. We’re not only talking about PvP, but about Sites of Power! Honor your faction in this remote corner of the Astral and conquer sites of power to unlock buffs for all the comrades of your faction!
Pearl Ring is a round reef that encircles an archipelago of xx small islands with a bigger one at its center. After having explored the smaller islands, it is now the time to venture into the main one.
If you delve deeper into the secrets of Irdrich and uncover plots of powerful forces, you might be lucky and find a way to the beautiful Tequatl!
Tequatl
Tekyans are an ancient race, mentioned in the June chronicles that survived the Great Cataclysm and lost for ages when Sarnaut was torn into pieces. But, as Historians always reminds us, sometimes lost things might be recovered!
Before the Great Cataclysm, the Tequanis, which are furry little creatures and distant relatives of the Gibberlings, used to be a savage people that inhabited the jungle in Irdrich. Due to the remoteness of their land, they had never met other rational beings before.
When Irdrich was colonized by the Junes around the 1800 year of the Old Era, those little creatures were impressed by the spells and the abilities of the new comers and soon gained their favors offering them generous gifts. Soon, both races began to live side by side and the colonists turned into patient teachers, trying to pass the Tequani their knowledge and culture. The little creatures lived without concerns and the Junes provided to their needs until the Curse destroyed their civilization and Sarnaut was shattered into pieces.
Before meeting their fate, the Junes made sure their furry friends survived, but the Tequani were left on their own and the world forgot about them until now. The Junes became gods in their minds and the Tequani had to put in practice what they had learned from their protectors and take care of themselves.
They eventually built their civilization and managed to establish their own traditions and school of magic. Today, the Tequani still live in harmony with nature and build their houses under the trees.
Do not be fooled by their fluffy appearance though! Although they are kind-hearted and friendly, some of them might be hostile while they protect their settlement. Keep that in mind while taking the path towards their village!
The beauty of their land will leave you speechless and ease your homesickness. Explore their village and talk to them and you’ll discover more abou their culture and their secrets. After the fall of June civilization, new gods has replaced the Ancient protectors. Who are those “Immortals”, as Tequanis call them, and what is hidden in their beautiful Crystal Palace?
The more you will discover about this stunning land, the closer you will get to a bitter revelation: how could such beauty and innocence have been spared by destruction? Maybe there is another side of Irdrich to discover, more to see, but it is not time to unveil it yet…
