Patreon Story Update #4 - Lake Village (Patreon)
Content
Welcome travelers!
We have been working on the game’s setting, lore and story for quite a while now and it is time we present it to you.
We will not spoil the main plot of the game with these, but spoilers concerning the setting and backstory are inevitable. So if you prefer to explore the world completely un-spoilered once the game is done, do not read any further!
Today, let's talk about…
Lake Village
Village of Healing
Built on and around an idyllic lake, this small village will likely be the first Max explores on his journey through Kerpal. It lies not far from Alpha Camp and is therefore of immediate interest to the scientists landing on Kerpal.
Led by a cat matriarch, it is a peaceful fisher village that trades clay wares and surplus fish in exchange for the protection of the warrior tribe. This protection is needed, since not far from the village, towards the mountains, lies the perilous stone pillar region. Thickly overgrown with jungle, it is infested with feral Kerpali who sometimes prowl near the village in search of food. Lately, lizard scouts have also been spotted emerging from a cave entrance nearby, requiring the warriors to keep an extra close eye on it.
To the rest of Kerpal, Lake Village is also known as the village of healing. Their healer’s knowledge of herbs and natural remedies is unsurpassed and when the trade caravans of Pearl Village come by, they trade precious pearls and goods from Umbar in exchange for medicine.
When Max and the scientists arrive, they will find the village to be welcoming and friendly, freely sharing what they know of the lands with the new arrivals.
That’s it for today - next time, we will tell you more about a different important location of Kerpal, so stay tuned! As always, thanks for your support and we hope you enjoy these little peeks into the lore of the game :)
