16.1 — Shadows Over the Sandy Allod

21.03.2026

Xadagan, a realm of endless deserts and ancient technologies, is swept up in a whirlwind of change. The eastern part of this allod, a symbol of progress, has become a battleground for secret wars, and a conspiracy is brewing in the sands that could overturn the very essence of Sarnaut. While Nefer Ur, the architect of the "Wireframe" Project creates a “New Reality” meant to end the threat of Tep; rebellious robots, Tep cultists, and mysterious visitors have woven their own web of intrigue... Now the future of the entire world depends solely on the hero’s decisions.

After receiving a message from Negus Shuponu, you will head to eastern Xadagan, where the Manarail, launched just a short time ago, has already become a target of sabotage. You’ll be accompanied by Sarang Kido—an agent of Nefer Ur with a sharp mind and a skeptical nature. Your first challenge awaits you right at the station, and it won’t be so easy to get to the eastern part of the allod, where numerous scientific laboratories and testing grounds are located.

For the “New Reality” to become real, there is much to be done: only by assisting the remaining project leaders, the Neguses, can we get the grand “Framework” project off to a start.

On this trip, you will see:

The Buried City of Sar-Shazzar

An ancient metropolis buried beneath the dunes. Giant excavators dig into the ruins, unearthing artifacts from the Hiсkut era. The workers’ camp is a web of temporary barracks, robot bulldozers, and clandestine gatherings. Beneath the ground lurk devouring worms and mysterious catacombs; Sar-Shazzar is a** labyrinth of pyramidal buildings** made of an obsidian-like alloy, with geometric patterns that glow in the dark.

Here, your ally will be Nomarch Stakh, a hardworking person who opposes Negus Khay and other heartless businessmen who care only about making as much money as possible.

Next, you’ll face another encounter with Tep cultists! You didn’t really think that the greatest villain and the newly crowned God of Death would give up on his plans, did you? Tep is determined to destroy the Nefer Ur's project at all costs, and here, in the eastern lands, you’ll face his army—a newly assembled cult ready to storm the scientific bases of Ur’s supporters.

The "Gates" portal system

At the edge of the allod, where the sands meet the astral winds, the brilliant scientist Negus Rick and his team are constructing a giant portal designed to create a permanent, stable passage connecting the land of Xadagan with the other allods of the Empire. It is for this very purpose that other workers are pulling the manarail here—a giant magnetic track hovering above the sands. Its supports, resembling steel trees, hum with the energy pumped into them by the XAES.

But not everyone is pleased with this massive construction project: a group of renegade heretics, followers of the desert winds—composed of the Arisen, who reject the transformation of the land through science—are prepared to sabotage the project to halt the construction of the Manarail and the “Gates.” The troublemakers worship powerful monsters that have lived deep within the earth since the time of Tep.

Hybrid Farm

Ancient beasts aren't the only ones who will stand in your way. The construction site has been attacked by strange, multi-headed creatures that are terrifying the workers. Investigating the cause will lead you to the Farm, a massive complex in the heart of the desert where the Empire is experimenting with bioengineering, all under the direction of the gifted and mad scientist Negus Shad, the facility’s director. Hybrids are the key to the future, for after the arrest of the “Dome” leader Negus Pilis, the Arisen’s research into the possibilities of altering organic matter seemed to have reached a dead end. With your help, will Shad be able to move forward and create the perfect being? And is it true that this scientist was previously involved in the Renegade Project, a secret capable of shattering the very foundations of the Empire?

The Wireframe Project

Finally, Nefer Ur’s greatest achievement: a device capable of creating a “New Reality.” Will Nefer Ur, with your help, be able to make his dream a reality, or will the sinister villain Tep manage to outsmart everyone once again?

Enjoy the game!
