New Nation 'Fontaine' Unveiled

PR TIMES

As of the August 16th, 2023 update, the long-awaited new nation Fontaine will be in play.
Ruled by Focalors, the current Hydron Archon and the God of Justice, Fontaine is a nation that flourishes with culture and advanced technology.
One of Fontaine's distinctive features is the unique power known as Indemnitium. This energy is employed to fuel aquabuses and illuminate homes, thus becoming an essential aspect of people's daily lives.
The Indemnitium is generated through the process of trial by the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale, which harvests the people's belief in justice. Consequently, these trials have become significant public events, featuring diverse performances at the Opera Epiclese.

PR TIMES

Upon completing the Archon Quest Prologue Act III: 'Song of the Dragon and Freedom,' a teleport waypoint will unlock in the northeastern part of the Sumeru Desert. This waypoint enables access to Fontaine via the Aquabus. Furthermore, specific regions within Fontaine provide opportunities for underwater adventures. Here, travelers can acquire new combat skills, encounter novel creatures and mechanisms, and uncover concealed narratives, enigmas, and historical accounts concealed within the ocean's depths. The complete array of these encounters awaits travelers as they embark on their journey.
