World Lore Mapping
Create a simple map noting where Dreg Ore islands cluster versus larger continents. Compare how the metallic terrain influences visual cues and navigation choices across the map.
- Observe how the metallic terrain shapes navigation; compare open islands to denser continental areas.
- Consider the lore when naming locations in notes; the metal origin can inspire thematic descriptions.

- Prioritize armor upgrades that match your visual style, as style is highlighted in the description.
- Track boss encounters to gauge how far you have progressed across the metallic continents.
