Hey everyone!
How are you all doing? It’s been a few weeks since we announced Kitaria Fables 2 and we’re sure you’re excited to learn more about what the sequel has in store! Well good news! Over the coming weeks we’ll be posting frequent updates where we’ll be revealing more about the expanded world of Kitaria, taking a closer look at new gameplay mechanics, as well as sharing development updates and insights. So let’s get started!
In today’s post we’ll be revealing more about the Royal Academy’s Expedition into the wilderness of the Arkadera Peninsula and introducing the citizens of the region’s main settlement, Whitewall Town.
🌲 Welcome to the Arkadera Peninsula
The remote Arkadera Peninsula once marked the very edge of the Empire, with the small port of Whitewall Town acting as a gateway to the western continent. But as the years passed and the empire’s influence slowly began to fade, the region became increasingly isolated. Although the citizens of Whitewall Town have since made good use of Arkadera’s fertile soil and abundant timber to build comfortable, if modest, lives, most never stray beyond the relative safety of the coastal lowlands, leaving the deep forests, boggy marshes, rugged highlands, and snow-capped mountains to the north largely unexplored…
📜 An important mission
Wishing to renew the bonds of friendship between the frontier settlements and the Capital City, King Cerulean has asked the scholars of the Royal Academy to send small expedition teams to the farthest corners of the Empire. Led by administrator Fawn and supported by the newly graduated Royal Army Pathfinder, Alice Skylar, Arkadera’s expedition team is entrusted with reopening Whitewall Town’s fabled errand house, conducting a thorough survey of the peninsula, and restoring the long-forgotten outposts so that Whitewall’s townsfolk can once again live in harmony with nature.
🏰 Get to know the residents of Whitewall Town!
Throughout your adventure in Kitaria Fables 2 you’ll be using Whitewall Town as your main base of operations, and it's here that you’ll get to know all sorts of interesting characters with the specialist skills and knowledge to help you succeed with your mission.
📖 Fawn - A scholar from the Royal Academy, Fawn has recently been posted to the peninsula to guide the newly formed Expedition Team on its mission.
Learned, curious, and deeply passionate about Kitaria’s history, he wholeheartedly believes that knowledge is something meant to be shared with everyone. Despite his best efforts however, his organisation skills leave much to be desired…
🥕 Kiki - A peppy farmer with a keen eye for business, Kiki first appeared in the original Kitaria Fables where she taught Nyanza and Macaron how to grow crops on Thunderbunn Farm.
11 years later and she has since had a successful career, managing several farms, and selling her high-quality produce to communities throughout the Empire. Now semi-retired, Kiki spends most of her time travelling, enthusiastically encouraging anyone who’ll listen to pick up a hoe and give the simple life a try.
⚒️ Maya - A young and talented blacksmith from the small town of Howl who now works the forge in Whitewall’s bustling town square.
Maya is mature for her age with a self-assured, independent spirit. She pours her heart into her craft and many of the town’s younger residents look up to her, seeing her almost as a big-sister.
⚗️ Periwinkle - Whitewall Town’s resident apothecary who once taught at the Royal Academy, Periwinkle is an expert potion maker who carries a deep appreciation for the natural world and the science behind every tincture and remedy.
He has a soft spot for Alice, one of his most dedicated former students, and is excited to discover that he might once again share his knowledge with her.
🥐 Louis & Wisteria - Dusty’s Uncle and Aunt, and co-owners of Whitewall Town’s bakery, ‘The Fluffy Bun’.
Louis, an eccentric pâtissier can always be found in the kitchen working on his next extravagant creation. He hopes to bring some culture and flair to the far-flung reaches of the empire, and prides himself on perfection and excess, much to the exasperation of his long-suffering wife!
Wisteria is a humble cook with a fondness for simple local comfort foods, Wisteria manages the front-of-house and day-to-day business while her husband experiments in the kitchen. Kind and caring, she feels hugely responsible for Dusty, having promised his mother long ago that she would raise him in her absence.
🌘 Ash - A mysterious travelling merchant who recently set up shop in Whitewall Town. Nobody really knows where he came from, but rumour has it that he can obtain rare and valuable materials, for a considerable price of course.
Ash has been known to smooth-talk his way out of any situation, yet behind his charming demeanour lies a shrewd and calculating mind that values self-preservation above all else.
That’s all for today but we’ll be back in a few weeks with another update!
Until next time!
