Alpha island
Alpha-1 testing took place in a zone to the north west of the world map.[8] This zone has many islands and a mainland area.[9]
- The Alpha-1 starting area is set in the ruins of an Pyrian divine gateway.[2]
- There are 12 different (sub)zones in the Alpha-1 testing location.[7]
- The Alpha-1 map was approximately 70 km2 of playable area.[10]
- Alpha island (also called Alpha-0 island) was the first open-world testing zone for Alpha-1 participants.[15]
- There are approximately 4 biomes in Alpha-1: Flood plains, Desert (Desert), Snowy mountains, Forest.[16][17]
- Temporary teleportation points will be present in early tests until ships are introduced later in the alpha testing.[18]
Divine gateways
Divine gateways are portals located in the ruined cities of the four ancient races of Verra.[20]
- Divine gateways are where players first arrive in Ashes of Creation.[21]
- Each divine gateway is in proximity to one or more starting area.[20]
- Players can choose their starting gateway.[22] This choice is not restricted by their choice of race.[23]
- Tulnar characters have the same option of starting at any of the divine gateways as other races.[24][23][25]
- The divine gateways were created by the Goddess of Creation in response to a warning from the Goddess of Fate that The Ancients and The Others would return from exile and seek retribution for their defeat at the hands of The Seven gods.[19][26]
Where players start, they enter this portal from another world called Sanctus. Sanctus is a place of no magic, low technology; and players are the first expeditioners that are coming through this portal into the world of Verra.[27] – Jeffrey Bard
