Primal:Aetha: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 02:32, 29 May 2009

General

Set in the cloud-draped peaks is the far from heavenly Aetha. The sheer mountains and treacherous rocks mean the inhabitants have to make their precarious homes on the plateaus and peaks above the clouds. The gloom and drizzle hides Tudor-like architecture with foreboding towers, heavy black beams and crumbling white walls. Overhanging balconies seek to steal what little light the street lanterns cast.

The occupants of Aetha are the "Wraith" race. These fearsome and cadaverous beings have created a warped aristocratic society, with the ruling Wraith class living a life of opulence and excess while the "Helot" peasants live in filth and squalor. Unsurprisingly the ruling class are selfish and evil, throwing lavish masked balls within sight of the starving masses. The Wraith are shown to have vampiric characteristics, such as the need to survive on drinking blood.

Jen's third demon form is based on the Wraith race.

Characters

Count Raum
Countess Empusa
Princess Elizabeth
The Watcher - aka "Old Pug Face."
The Prisoner - unexpected ally in the dungeons

Count Raum's Mansion

Also known as the Chateau, a French reference to add to the French Revolution motif.

- Multiple floors can be confusing, as the map does not indicate this well.
- The Chapel
  - Large mirror at the head, indicative of vanity, indicates Raum worships himself here.
  - Twin mirror Statues on the southeast wall of a wraith apparently about to strike a women in evening dress from behind. Reference to the vampire theme of the level.
- The Dark Maze
- Library
- Ballroom
- Raum and Empusa's Bedroom
- Main Courtyard
  - Fountain of blood
- Torture rooms beneath
- Flooded Dungeons beneath.
