Suggestion for new area: return to Nurazar

Silvarien

Hi there!

I remember way back when the Nurazar event happened, before the action, Lord Phaestus actually made the planet and we Phaesteans were running around with people from Lord Twilight's order to get pieces to help. I thought it would actually stay there, though obviously it didn't. I talked to Lord Phaestus and he said someday there might be life on Nurazar. Edit: before it went bye bye.

What if despite the three rings of Achaea remaining, Nurazar would return through some sort of time/space anomaly to be a sort of moon/satellite and be linked to Sapience via portal and a whole bunch of new areas were on Nurazar to explore? It would definitely solve the spatial problems of making new areas, because the portal would link to a whole new planet, rather than a place on Achaea that must geographically make sense in context of the other area. And it would have roots in Achaean lore up to now.

Thank you for reading my idea.

If we're going to do new areas on other planets (which I think @Tecton mentioned as a possibility in the last Ask Your Producer thread?), I'd rather just see new planets introduced than bring back old ones that were destroyed in past events (Nurazar, Krenindala ... I don't think there others, but don't know for sure). Even without making up new lore, there are plenty of possibilities out there, like Vertan (I don't know enough of the history of the Vertani event to know the status there, but it's definitely still out there, as evidenced by the new group of Vertani who arrived relatively recently) or the rajamala homeworld.

I'm on board with the idea of new areas on other planets or planes in general, but I don't think there's a need to reverse past events to get them. To my mind, that kind of retcon would put a damper on the impact of future events; you don't want to risk replacing reactions of "Oh my gods, that planet just got BLOWED UP!" with "Yeah, it got blown up, but it'll probably turn up again in a year or two."

I would be quite interested in seeing a target-rich environment Vertan. According to the wiki, after the initial war most of the military forces of the Vertani went back there (it's a different plane, apparently), so it wasn't destroyed, but it's also unfortunately a poisonous environment for mortals of Sapience owing to the thick atmosphere (also, no plants). I suppose there could be workarounds for it.

@Daeir what if.. you could visit that pocket, but the moment you entered, your mind exploded due to the sheer insanity that is in the pocket?

We have a largeish section of new areas in development that'll all be released at once when they're ready. I will say no more!

Like the lost isle?

I still think the tattered remains of Krenendala would be amazing to visit.

That is okay, Lord Sarapis. It is not easy to keep that all secret when you are that super-excited to tell everybody about it.

@Tecton, @Sarapis, plz make this happen so I can stop being a pedant about things that don't even exist in-game yet.

Sarapis

Therophage is the continent the other continents make mean memes about, so stop getting so excited about it.

Sarapis

(I joke - Therophage is the biggest continent on the planet and could beat up the other continents if they didn't gang up on it.)

Therophage = Present-day Ashtan?

I'd honestly just love to visit the etherial pocket that the Cauda Pavonis lives in.

Aye I agree it would be rather amazing to bit there.
