An openworld segment is more like an starting part of a "chapter". Right now is making the terrain for the next war that will be coming in april-may, where will be called: "The war of the goddeses" or something like that, where probably a lot of characters gonna be in place, and a lot of characters gonna be out of the chess board.
The lord of blood,[in Tak'kan(just a guess)],Fuzkao[Rodak(another guess)]"The mother"[invading some incubus king(ejem Doom King ejem) while The Anak and "The cold light" will fight to death between themselves, Tanurak trying to enter in the "Goddess of Magic vault" and failing(I think it's gonna be to obvious and gonna kidnap the princess of another castle)
and Simon (You, the player) trying to minimize the impact of the war,trying to defend the 3 continents, stoping the advance of the incubus Kings,"The mother",Aram-Eustrin,Tak'kan,Rodak,maybe some involve in Erosia, a movement in Ghenalon[The Sage needs to appear(A character with full portrait in technical terms it is a waste of money not using him more of a few phrases, so no, it is alive,dammit even some minor characters with personal portraits had more action than him) and the Orgasmic empire(I dont know if the Philon defenses it is a trick or not[Refugees of Philon or some type of collateral damage with Nyst defending or Anak defending Philon, or even Xestris involved]
I dont think everything gonna happen at the same timpe, but have characters to do it, the only thing is he cannot be un equal terms with the two monsters up there,of the rest, all is a bet.
