    [​IMG]In Indiegogo update #3 for Aderyn's Cradle we learn about the timeline and the player's mission:

    Where in the timeline does our character/player enter the story? What will their 'mission' be? Thanks!

    Thanks for your question, vanderky!

    Timeline
    Your character, the Oracle, enters the timeline approximately one thousand years after the Soulfire Crisis, when Aderyn's lands are corrupted and banished.At first, the character's only mission is to escape their own wrathful deity (Ostia) by fleeing their home village. However, once Aderyn saves them, and their destiny as the next Oracle to Aderyn's people is revealed, the mission changes entirely. They become the savior Aderyn has promised to his surviving followers. They are unwittingly pulled into a journey when Aderyn recognizes them as the next Oracle and saves them from the wrath of Ostia, guiding them to the lost Cradle in the process.

    Mission

    The Oracle is tasked with pushing back against the corruption that's taken over the ruined Cradle. This means fighting the corrupted monsters which now inhabit the place, of course--but it also means returning Aderyn's Light and influence to the Cradle, so that through Their divine power, the land will be cleansed. How does Aderyn's Light manifest? Through the lighting of soulfires (you get to see an example of one in the video -- it's the orb statue which, when activated, turns its etched shadows to light and stone into empty space). There are several soulfires located throughout each of the four open worlds. Most of these are what we call "small soulfires", which serve as teleportation/save points.

    In addition, there are "large soulfires". Large soulfires only total 4 in the whole game, one for each open world. By lighting these, you essentially signify that you've beaten the area. If you choose to return to the area later for more exploration, you will find that its enemies have decreased in difficulty. By the lighting of the large soulfire, you have restored a significant measure of Aderyn's Light to that environment, thus weakening the influence of the corrupting deity over that domain (for example, if you light the large soulfire of the Bayou, you have weakened Ostia's Life corruption on that domain). Lighting all four large soulfires unlocks the endgame mission.

    I hope you found this informative. On behalf of myself and the whole Mojo team, thanks for your support and interest! :)
