Vaelinth Manor
Vaelinth Manor is a vampiric interior environment inhabited by blood-drinking creatures known locally as Venpyras.
The level is designed to guide players through decaying halls and forgotten rooms, using environmental storytelling to reveal the tragic fate of Syra Vaelinth.
Vaelinth Manor is structured across three levels, with each ascent revealing more of Syra Vaelinth’s story through spatial progression and environmental cues.
The intent of the level is to enrich the world beyond combat, emphasizing that within large-scale conflict, smaller and deeply personal narratives still exist.
The mood and atmospheric intent of the manor is explored further under World & Environment.
