Lore

The logic behind the Xedra Evolved Δ. Imagine if the time from blob contamination to portal storm was basically several decades and portal intrusions built up over that timeframe with contamination zones resulting in parts of our world following other laws of physics. So you have humanity starting to adapt to the dead rising but it takes twelve hours for them to reanimate and sometimes portals to other dimensions open and usually monsters/disease spill out but sometimes riches spill out and the government has projects exploring other dimensions and hunting Exodii nodes for cybernetic parts. Then eventually the Cataclysm occurs and Kaiju appear with natural disasters and the dead rise instantly and everything still collapses. But now the Exodii and interdimensional scavengers are here so if you start with CBMs they may recognize that you were part of an organization that hunted them. I want to believe Classes and scenarios specific to this mod will likely revolve around either investigating Xedra or working for Xedra or another alphabet soup agency. Each section of this mod will expand on various monster of the week ideas. The first set of monsters I'm exploring are what if our world became contaminated by a Nether realm that is the origin of the Kindly Ones, the good people under the hill, the fae. Future sections will revolve around whatever mythos has caught my attention that week and that I can create reasonable content for.

Chapter 1 Hail Arcadia

The first bit of content for Xedra Evolved revolves around a dimension that's relatively nearby in Nether terms, even pre-portal technology mankind had records of encounters with beings matching the descriptions of these creatures across multiple cultures and times. Future additions will explore other avenues. Welcoming mapgen and monsters in this section.

Chapter 2 Powers beyond mere imagination

This section introduces several magical classes and spells and abilities for the these classes. The player can grasp powers that they never dreamed of before the portals to other worlds started opening. This magical system can be used alongside Magiclysm's but doesn't require it. The goal is for each of the classes to feel different from each other. Currently looking for mapgen locations that could play a good host for the various items that grant these powers. Such as pawn shops, museums and monster lairs.

Chapter 3 A Thirst for Blood

The third chapter has brought with it Vampires both as monsters and as a disease that can infect you the player character and render you a being with unnatural powers and thirsts. This section has also added some CBMs and the monsters you can dissect them out of. Looking for more location, similarly themed CBMs and content for Vampire Hunters including NPCs and quests. The ability to consume blood via spell and to use that blood to power new abilities has been added. Vampire traits are a side lane of the mutation code and should be available no matter what threshold you pursue.
