D&D Online: The Art of Shavarath, Part Two

The D&D Online team covers Amrath, the “floating encampment” hovering above Shavarath, in the game’s latest Module 9 developer diary.

Even in our early concept art of Amrath, we wanted to make it clear to the players that there is something magical and out of place about this disembodied hunk of terrain. The Yugoloth isle in the sky is a waypoint for players seeking to venture into the Shavarath landscape below. Chains running from point to point of Amrath lash the place to the ancient ruins down on the Shavarath landscape. In fact, portions of a massive Coliseum can still be seen protruding from parts of Amrath. Since Amrath was created from a hunk of the bleak and devastated earth below, it still shares that same sense of danger and desolation, reminding the viewer that the war of the three factions is not out-of-reach of Amrath. If players are brave enough to be transported to the plane of Battle, the Yugoloth of Amrath will oblige.
