This vibrant hub has been shaped and reshaped by generations of pioneers, each leaving their mark, often in blood, on the Living Lands. It\u2019s also the epicenter of tension between Aedyran forces and the locals, who are suspicious of Aedyr\u2019s growing presence.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Screen_Environment_Shroom-fdbc0ec63f2becfd6950.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-202279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Screen_Environment_Shroom-fdbc0ec63f2becfd6950.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Screen_Environment_Shroom-fdbc0ec63f2becfd6950-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Screen_Environment_Shroom-fdbc0ec63f2becfd6950-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Screen_Environment_Shroom-fdbc0ec63f2becfd6950-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Rumors and hysteria have also begun to bubble up in Paradis surrounding the Dreamscourge \u2013 a mysterious plague of the soul \u2013 as it afflicts people, animals, and even the land itself. No one knows how it spreads, but many have come to recognize and dread the symptoms: first, victims experience confusion, disorientation, and hallucinations. As it worsens, they become unpredictable and erratic in their behavior, as if trapped in a waking nightmare. In the final stage, they turn into violent \u201cDreamthralls,\u201d their bodies twisted with fungal growths and their minds and souls overtaken by the plague.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Screen_Combat_Bear-9b2be09ce7d6defe35ea.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-202280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Screen_Combat_Bear-9b2be09ce7d6defe35ea.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Screen_Combat_Bear-9b2be09ce7d6defe35ea-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Screen_Combat_Bear-9b2be09ce7d6defe35ea-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Screen_Combat_Bear-9b2be09ce7d6defe35ea-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Watching our newest trailer, you\u2019ll hear three distinct voices speaking to you. First is your emperor, who believes the Dreamscourge could develop, if unchecked, into a dire threat to Aedyr. He sends you into this wild frontier to uncover the source of the plague and put an end to it. Inquisitor L\u00f6dwyn, the leader of the Steel Garrote \u2013 an extremist paladin order from Aedyr \u2013 believes there\u2019s something more sinister at play and calls on you not only to eradicate the Dreamscourge, but also to bring the island\u2019s unruly factions to heel. Meanwhile, your companion Giatta perceives a larger and more mysterious force at work in the land and urges you to embrace it in all of its awe and chaos. As a stranger to these shores, you\u2019ll need to navigate your relationship with all three of these factions, work to uncover the source of the Dreamscourge and prevent it from plunging the Living Lands into madness.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Screen_Companions-b0d48323b4b3d6dc9918.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-202281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Screen_Companions-b0d48323b4b3d6dc9918.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Screen_Companions-b0d48323b4b3d6dc9918-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Screen_Companions-b0d48323b4b3d6dc9918-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Screen_Companions-b0d48323b4b3d6dc9918-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Supporting you on your journey are four companions, including Giatta.
