As for the rest of Tolstad, it's filled with more secrets tunnels than the city likes to admit. Many have attempted to map it out over the years, but the island fortress remains, more or less, as a replica of the dungeon Below. #rpg

"Iโve only played through a 15-minute demo of Esoteric Ebb ... but that 15 minutes simply wasnโt enough for everything I wanted to see, do and interact with."

Colloquially known as 'The Holes', this stack of rock-cut apartments were built in dwarf sizes, which incidentally turned out to be perfect for the growing HWBT goblin colony nearby.
Ignore the glowing door, that's just an esoteric pocket. #rpg
In the bowels of Tolstad you can find a winding series of tunnels, cracks, and bridges. The dwarves built a ton of stacked apartments here as well, due to a loophole in district zoning laws that classified any dwelling more than fifty feet underground as 'mining infrastructure'.

Can't have an RPG without a tavern. There are laws, you know.

You can get your stuff back by turning it inside out. Just like in real life!

This won't actually be in the game, but here's a splash screen I made for a conference-only build.
Very nice music here though (which will be used in the actual game)
