Aboard the Argent Wind, Caoimhe Wake, Antistrophe Landrace, and Brontë Adelvys settle in for a peaceful journey east.

Next, a rumbling of what might be amiss in the City of Iron Chains… This week on Perpetua: On Track to Iron Chains Pt. 03 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.03] Town Maps [TNMP] Cenn, City of Iron Chains...

Friends at the Table
From the roof of the restricted Hexcloak train station, Caoimhe Wake, Antistrophe Landrace, and Brontë Adelvys can hear the approach of a train. It is a train that will take them east, towards the coastline, towards Cenn, City of Iron Chains, and towards a brush with deity and destiny both. But if they are to board this train, they must first overcome a foe equal parts cryptic and cunning: The Fleggus!

Friends at the Table
Led by the cries of someone in danger, the crew of the Little Snail have charged into the Celestial Echo of Redolencia, an otherworldly swampland where magic works differently and shadowy creatures flit between trees. The source of those screams was a Manakin scholar who’d wandered too far into the Echo and who now found himself face-to-face with a maneating orchid. Can these humble adventurers, still recovering from their own recent stumbles into danger, save this wandering researcher before he becomes plantfood?, This week on Perpetua: Perpetua 09: Journey to the Bay Pt. 01...

The humble crew of the LIttle Snail could not have known what they were getting into. A simple, kindness had led them towards danger and mystery unknwon. A fallen tower. Undead dragon cultists descending on them in the dark. An ancient prophecy written by the light. And a sanctimonious solivagant stolen into shadow Yet faced with this chaos, they continued. Making their way north, first to the bridge they’d rebuilt only days ago and then turning towards the seaside city of Calstega Bay in search fo answers. All around them, Perpetua awed with its beauty. The sea breeze...

Hexcloak justiciar Caoimhe Wake and her two ad hoc assistant investigators, Antistrophe Landrace and Brontë Adelvys, have their work cut out for them.

Perpetua 05: The Flames of Burzin Pt 01
Friends at the Table
For millennia, the eastern continent of Perpetua was ruled by a sprawling empire centered on the capital city of Milsource, where a living river sprung from nothing, and flowed to all the edges of the land. The empire’s reach followed the running water, stretching north across the territory of the clannish Elevana and south, where the empire put leash to the fractious burroughs. It was a time of Tyranny.. But one day, a thousand years ago, the river was mysteriously pulled away into the sea, leaving the empire as dry and cracked as the riverbeds it left behind. Soon, it passed into...

Ongoing Mysteries - Ancient Passikan Megadungeons [OMMD]
I haven’t actually been to any of these yet, but if you’re able to get a perfect result on the big Redolencia puzzle, these all get marked on your map. What’s really weird is that if you have a separate East campaign save going at the same time, they get marked on that save’s map too!
In any case, I don’t know specifics about them as dungeons yet (or even if you actually go to each of these in this game), but here’s some bullet points on what I DO know some details about them based on the Prelude, item descriptions, and other world exploration I’ve done. So I’ve collected those details here.
The Hanging Gardens of Rillspur
-
This is obviously where Elena is from.
-
Towards the center of the western continent (aka Tidaline).
-
Three rivers run out of it, west, east, and south.
-
In the Prelude, Harlow went here and met some people in the “pleasure gardens” and maybe saved a kid’s life, it wasn’t really clear during the vignette.
-
She’s referenced it having a ton of floors in dialog, and the top floors are easy and her family runs a restaurant there.
-
It’s a water dungeon (or an ice dungeon?), really not clear, especially after Redolencia’s revelations about the Ennead.
-
The Passikan people/creatures there water (or ice?) magic while inside.
-
There are some sort of magical mosaics.
Milsource, Fallen Capital
-
Was the capital of a huge empire on the eastern continent before the rise of the Elevana League and the Hundred Burroughs.
-
Apparently a really important river used to run out of here but it all dried up, or somehow “left” the capital? And that was the beginning of a huge downturn in the empire.
-
If this is the place that Glesi and Yukai’s culture was originally from (or near) in the Prelude,
-
Maybe the place where Sourcerot, the curse that the Eastern party is investigating, is from. Definitely what it’s named for.
Duriel, The Splintered Colosseum
-
In the Holy Protectorate of Placidia, which is the area north of the mountains on Tidaline. But it ISN’T the capital of that place, which is a city called Verus.
-
Also came up during the Prelude. Harlow went here and saw a bunch of people acting out conflicts between various gods and spirits and ancient heroes? There wasn’t really any clear structure that looked like a dungeon there, though.
-
Very close to the the Addled Shore, which was like some sort of major fog monster? Not Clear!!!
The Gleaming Fortress, Lumai
-
One of the major city-states of the Elevana League. West of the big mountain range there.
-
Presumably tied to the Light-blessed Elves and/or Lucena.
-
Right on the big river that runs down the whole continent in like a boomerang shape.
Mysterious Southern Continent
-
The icon for the dungeon is dead in the middle of the southern continent.
-
We don’t know jack diddly squat about this place. Not the name, not who lives there, not what sort of weapons they have, nothing. All we know from the demo is that they grow some sort of special flower or something near the “Capnae Mountains,” but they’re all the way in the northwest and far from the dungeon icon.
