    Hey guys! SorcerousSteve here to give you a sneak peak at my latest work in progress, the Kas Ruins!

    The Kas Ruins are located in North Paladis along the Tears River set against jagged mountains. It is on one of these peaks where the ruins of an ancient Paladin Fort lay.

    I obtained a lot of inspiration for our backdrop from the Grand Tetons and Rocky Mountains of the American West.

    A Paladin Fort can be seen nested on the mountain side, what secrets do these abandoned ruins hold?

    The way up to the Paladin Fort is littered with traps utilized by the defenders in times of war!

    A trap has gone off, setting a cliff side up in flames!

    Stay tuned for more on the Kas Ruins!

    I like seeing traps making their way into scenes! I wonder how deadly they are?

    Is this to be yet another PvP zone?

    So far ruins scenes have all (I think) been PVP.
