El regreso
For those of you who are unaware of the lore of how you get into the world of Ashes of Creation, essentially actually Verra was your ancestral home and when you play the MMORPG you're going to be stepping through what are called these Divine Gateways from a planet called Sanctus; and Sanctus was really a safe haven that was forethought by the Goddess of Fate and Creation as a sanctuary to provide the people of Verra who could survive the fall- the apocalypse- the exodus, essentially.[2] – Steven Sharif
El regreso comenzó cuando se reactivaron los portales divinos en Sanctus permitiendo el regreso a las cuatro capitales de Verra, que han permanecido en ruinas durante siglos tras El Apocalipsis.[3][1][4]
- You are returning to a world that has essentially been destroyed and left untouched for many millennia, and as a result those old capital cities are essentially the ruins of which you're returning to; and the new cities that you are developing- the node structures that exist- these are brand new cities. They might be couched within ruins of old empires so to speak, but they will not be representative of the old capital cities.[5] – Steven Sharif
The Ancients exist within the Void until there is a conduit that opens for them to enter into the material plane, so a lot of the Harbingers that still exist on Verra as dungeons essentially is where the Ancients are capable of pushing into the material plane; and they can continue to do so under the guise of the effects of corruption as it spreads; and there are events that lead to the spreading of corruption that players will have to fight back against. These events that occur, players are going to need to participate to keep the intrusion on the material plane back.[6] – Steven Sharif
Se enviaron inmensas expediciones a través de los portales para descubrir este hermoso y peligroso reino mágico.[1] Los jugadores llegan a Verra para explorar, reconstruir y repoblar su lugar de origen. Antíguos tesoros y maravillosas aventuras aguardan a aquellos que se atrevan a perturbar los oscuros vestigios del mal que habitan esta tierra.[1]
- Los jugadores comienzan en Verra pocos meses después de que los primeros expedicionarios fueran enviados a través de los portales divinos cuando se abrieron desde Sanctus.[7]
- The Ancients have been on Verra for a long time prior to your return; and it's important to note that players who are starting in the world of Verra, they're coming in actually a few short months after the very first expeditionaries were sent through the Divine gateways when they opened from Sanctus. And the early days on Verra with the return were not super easy. They were difficult. There were struggles with the food supplies. There were a little bit of mutinies that occurred. There were certain artifacts that were found by some of these NPCs that were your predecessors in the return; and some of them decided that they would be better off on their own, or that they had a more powerful thing or creature that they could follow and be rewarded from.[7] – Steven Sharif
- Los Heraldos que existen en Verra como mazmorras son los lugares desde donde Los Antiguos son capaces de entrar en el plano material. Pueden continuar haciéndolo bajo la apariencia de los estragos de la corrupción a medida que se extiende. Hay eventos que provocan la propagación de la corrupción y contra los que los jugadores tendrán que luchar. Cuando estos eventos aparezcan, los jugadores tendrán que cooperar para detener la intrusión en el plano material.[6]
- A partir de ahora, las elecciones de estos aventureros influirán en el desarrollo de la historia.[8]
- I heard a lot of people asking was, from a technological standpoint where do the people returning stand in relation to what their civilization was before the fall; and I think that in some regards they haven't quite even attained what their people were able to achieve before the exodus.[9] – Steven Sharif
