The_Scoutman There were also the mentions that with the Lustlord dead, Rodak will turn faster into a frozen wasteland. I think Rodak will be explored in the open world segment and we're gonna have to meet the locals, discuss emigration plans for the not so distant future, as well as rescue the Lustlord's harem if they survived.
i disagree on both poins.
vunne siad "Everything is stable in Rodak for now, but... based on what the Lustlord told me, I think every winter will be worse than the last." i think the winter worsen is a process independent from lustlord doing, him can counter the effect in some fashion, but only in a reactive way.
the open world segment will be focused about the three regoin of renthnor: orgasmic empire, philon and wilds. rodak is in thenours, i think the next story section will be in rodak, travel in the country, assest the situation and put in place corrective measure to avoid social collaps and starvation. i don't think will see an exodus from rodak, but for sure a strong import routes for food and mundane goods are in dire needed.
The_Scoutman Since the Lustlord's fortress has self-destructed, we might get a map for Rodak's capital or maybe the rest of the village of the first gathering, but I think Rodak won't have much of a role into anything in the future, it is a decaying country without the Lustlord's power.
the gathering complex was build for the gathering and the gathering alone, well away from is main seat of power. it's possibile, with the main palace destroyed, vunne and the rest of lustlord harem (if any of them surviving) can move in the gathering complex palace as temporary solution. the lustlord had centuries to build the country, and he managed rodak reasonably well, so i think we will find far more of a frozen land and a destroyed palace. during the gathring in the lustlord rooms you can find in the locked drawer some papers "I think this has something to do with how the Lustlord uses Tower magic to keep Rodak wealthy." this can or cannot help simon's to keep rodak stable.
