APERTIAN TOPOLOGY

The Apertian area is a region located in the southern hemisphere of New Terra. It corresponds to a grid of 20x20 unique land plots. From rivers to volcanoes, including giant mushroom forests, each plot belongs to one of the 47 biomes found in the region.

Some of the biomes are unique, and players can click on land plots to access descriptions made by the first Arcadian explorers. Weird phenomena, ranging from water running backward to gravity singularities, have been observed on many lands. It is up to every player to understand these clues to gain insights into what the land might contain or what future directions the game will take.
