Hollow Vale
The Forgotten Plateau
Meadow, birch and a lake as still as glass. Its people left long ago. At its back stands a mountain that nobody climbs for long.
Multo Sakalye Studio presents
FORGOTTEN PLATEAU OF VYORNA
A forgotten plateau above a sea of cloud. Live its legend, or simply keep its hearth.
Four plateaus stand above the Seep. One of them is waiting for you.
Announcement trailer
Above a sea of cloud
A first look at the plateaus, captured in the game itself.
Two ways to live it
Your legend, or your refuge
Walk into the story
Something old stirs in the high forest, and the plateaus keep their secrets well. Follow the threads as far as you dare, face what waits in the dark, and find out why this place was forgotten.
Or simply keep the hearth
Never draw a blade if you would rather not. Build, plant, fish and fly, and tend your corner of the sky at your own pace. A world to come home to after a long day.
Choose one, or wander between them. The plateau waits either way.
The lay of the land
Four plateaus, joined only by air
Sheer cliffs, still lakes and a sea of cloud below. The updrafts are the only roads between them, and a better wing will carry you further.
II · Stone and snow
Kamenitsa
The Stone Teeth
Bare stone and early snow, with hot springs steaming in the hollows. Eagles keep the high places. Nobody has ever lived here.
III · Birch and bog
Brezina Moor
The quiet moor
Birch, heather and pools that hold the sky. Wild ponies, and not a single roof. Yet.
IV · If you dare
The Vyorna
The Forest of Devotion
High, dense and never quite dark. It is the one plateau that does not want you there.
The heart of the game
A quiet life, built by hand
You start with nothing but your pack. Gather, build, plant and cook. Tame a dog and a hawk. Raise a roost and the wind-folk will come.
Raise a home of your own
Lay a floor, frame the walls, thatch the roof, then keep going: up to eight storeys, as far as your plans reach.
Plant, tend, harvest
A dug bed and a season of patience. What you grow, you cook over your own fire.
Step off the edge
Build a wing of wood and feather and ride the updrafts over the vale, and one day further.
String a line, ride it down
Zip lines between poles carry you over gorges and down the hillsides.
Keep a lodge for the wind-folk
Light a beacon and raise a roost. Travellers glide in on the updrafts, stay a while, and tell you of roads you have not flown.
Read the line
Ease off when it runs, reel in the calm. Something in the lake will test you.
4plateaus to live on and glide between
12wind-folk hearts to win on the far wind roads
0fights you have to take. Combat is a choice.
Bonds
No one stays a stranger for long
Win the trust of the creatures that share the plateaus, and the hearts of the wind-folk who drift in on the updrafts.
Leave food, step back
Wild things do not come when called. Be patient, and watch the heart fill.
A friend at your heel
One day the dog who would not come near follows you home, and never leaves.
A hawk on the wind
Win a cliff hawk and it rides the air over you, and comes back with gifts.
Across the moor
Every plateau has creatures of its own, and some of them can be won.
The Kindred
Twelve hearts on the wind roads
Six women and six men of the far heights, each with their own stories, tastes and tempers. Share your fire, learn what they love, and some of them will keep coming back. For you.
Play as a man or a woman.
The long way round
"The wind brought me the long way round, just to see your lantern."
Sit closer
"Sit closer. I will not bite. Not much."
Soft underneath
Gruff, proud of his joinery, and kinder than he lets on.
Stories for the fire
Each of the Kindred has tales they only tell to someone they trust.
Days turn, seasons turn. The fire is always where you left it.
Optional
And if you dare, walk into the Vyorna
High in the hills grows the Forest of Devotion. What walks there takes the souls of the fallen, and carries them to someone who is counting.
Blade, staff and bow
Steel, old magic and a steady hand. In the Vyorna you will want all three.
What sleeps in the mountain
Not every great beast is your enemy. Not every one can be saved.
What waits in the deep
The lake is deeper than it looks, and it is not empty.
Spare or slay
Some fights have another way through. What you choose follows you home.
A slow light
Lost souls drift between the trees. Someone should lead them home.
Never required
Stay on the quiet plateaus and lose nothing essential. The Vyorna waits either way.
