Perpetua 10: Journey to the Bay Pt. 02

 

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

Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.03] 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.
