| 0s | to master necromancy the player is going |
|---|---|
| 2s | to have to spend a lot of time in the |
| 4s | city of um building up their own allies |
| 6s | in the world of the day |
| 9s | [Music] |
| 12s | it's part of gillino's Underworld it's |
| 14s | afterlife and the player will have to |
| 16s | travel there to free the souls from the |
| 18s | grasp of the first necromancer |
| 20s | the city is quite important as it's |
| 22s | really the first time we're getting to |
| 23s | explore the underworld itself we've been |
| 25s | to the river Newman on the place where |
| 26s | death guides the souls across the |
| 28s | underworld but we've never actually |
| 29s | visited there ourselves |
| 31s | it's a city for all those Wayward Souls |
| 33s | somewhere for them to go when they don't |
| 35s | know what afterlife is waiting for them |
| 37s | yet it's a strange place a liminal space |
| 40s | it's a City built for memories as people |
| 43s | remember their lives they manifest them |
| 45s | and the city grows and shifts and walks |
| 48s | over time death being the first person |
| 49s | on Gideon or to die was its founder his |
| 52s | memories were the first to shape the |
| 55s | city and some elements of the city still |
| 57s | remain from that time |
| 59s | the CDA is built by death there are many |
| 63s | symbols and the overall mode of the city |
| 66s | reflects death their hourglasses |
| 68s | everywhere yeah so that's all you know |
| 70s | death likes blue right yeah that's the |
| 74s | main reason |
| 74s | [Music] |
| 80s | we designed the city of um to be a |
| 83s | central hub for all the players |
| 85s | activities the best way to do that was |
| 87s | to break the initial layout up into |
| 89s | different distinct districts each one |
| 91s | offering something to the player you can |
| 94s | progress necromancy in a new Skilling |
| 96s | method called rituals this is performed |
| 98s | at the ritual site in the city of um |
| 99s | here you build ritual components these |
| 102s | consist of light sources such as candles |
| 104s | and glyphs around a chosen Focus object |
| 107s | as you grow your skills of The |
| 108s | Necromancer the city of um will come |
| 110s | alive alongside you yeah in the other |
| 112s | part of the city okay that there are |
| 114s | many places to retrieve like goods and |
| 118s | tools and we wanted to make sure that |
| 120s | they were all themed in the best way |
| 123s | possible there are lots of things for |
| 125s | players to discover in the city of um |
| 127s | there's the courtyards where we have a |
| 129s | lodestone as well as various shops a |
| 132s | boat sheds we'll see what that's about |
| 134s | later the entrance to the runecrafting |
| 136s | area and of course what city is not |
| 139s | complete without a pub a lot School |
| 141s | the buildings are really quite silly in |
| 144s | places aren't they yeah no the usual |
| 147s | runescapey twist yeah yeah |
| 152s | we've even added an owlery that wasn't |
| 154s | part of the original design it's been |
| 156s | added into the city as a place for all |
| 158s | of these Omens to live is the right |
| 160s | companion for a player in the city of |
| 164s | we're putting in a bakery that sells uh |
| 166s | death Day cakes and yeah exactly or a |
| 169s | psychologist okay yeah make sure it's |
| 172s | all people through being dead yeah |
| 174s | things like that it's |
| 175s | it's very tongue-in-cheek it's very |
| 176s | Roomscape isn't it |
| 180s | [Music] |
| 182s | so the first necromancer's ultimate |
| 185s | ambition is to break the cycle of life |
| 187s | and death to control all of the souls |
| 191s | um they also have their own plan to |
| 193s | steal the souls from the city of rum and |
| 195s | enthrall them as their own Army of the |
| 198s | undead |
| 199s | so the design of the first Necromancer |
| 201s | Citadel is really a reflection on the |
| 204s | character who created it right the whole |
| 206s | idea of this space is that it's formed |
| 209s | from his will from his memories |
| 211s | [Music] |
| 213s | so it ends up being this bold |
| 216s | extravagant place I mean it literally |
| 218s | looms over the rest of the city and all |
| 221s | the people |
| 222s | so many memorable environments and |
| 225s | characters |
| 227s | it's an incredible incredible piece of |
| 229s | content a real achievement for the whole |
| 231s | team yeah definitely the city of um is |
| 234s | beautiful it is absolutely gorgeous the |
| 237s | art team has just absolutely smashed it |
| 240s | as they always do to be fair but this is |
| 242s | just like next level |
| 244s | and of course the release of the new |
| 246s | skill is just the beginning while the |
| 248s | city of um does have lots for players to |
| 250s | discover at release it's also a place |
| 252s | that we're going to see grow and build |
| 253s | over time |
| 254s | [Music] |
