***** Floating Islands*****

The core levels of the game lie in seven floating islands, each with their own features! Various hidden realms can be found through portals on the islands as well.

 

  1. Academy Island: Begin your journey on Academy Island! The towering academy building stands as a beacon of knowledge. While peaceful, the island also offers opportunities for exploration and adventure, with hidden secrets and challenges waiting to be discovered.

  2. Elf Island: This mystical island is home to a vibrant elven civilization, with lush forests throughout the land. Their towering trees is home to the revered Griffin's Nest, a temple that serves as a sanctuary for griffins.

  3. Voodoo Island: This eerie, crystal-filled island is steeped in dark magic and ancient rituals. The air is thick with the scent of incense and strange herbs. The island is littered with voodoo dolls, their eyes glowing with an unnatural light.

  4. Devil’s Crater: This volcanic island is a fiery realm of molten lava and smoldering rock. The centerpiece of the island is the Devil's Hand, a massive volcanic crater. Elemental creatures of fire inhabit the island, guarding its treasures and challenging those who dare to explore.

  5. Desert Temples: This arid land is split into two distinct regions: the habitable oasis and the desolate wasteland. The oasis is a small, vibrant area surrounded by towering sand dunes. Beneath the oasis lies a network of hidden tunnels, teeming with strange and exotic creatures. Exploring the tunnels is a perilous undertaking, but it can also be rewarding, as hidden treasures and ancient ruins can be found deep within its depths.

  6. Sakura Island: This island is a realm of eternal spring, where cherry blossoms bloom year-round. The air is filled with a sweet scent, and the landscape is painted in shades of pink and white. Numerous shrines and temples can be found throughout the island.

  7. Aqua Island: This unique island is a vast ocean suspended in the air. Below the surface of the ocean, a vibrant underwater world awaits, teeming with strange and exotic creatures. Smaller islands can be found floating within the ocean, offering opportunities for exploration.

  8. Lantern Realm: This realm is a sanctuary for souls. Multiple islands within this separate realm have been created, providing an environment suitable for souls to grow and evolve.
