One Stitched World
Khael-Vorath is one continuous map. The twelve zones (Sporeveld through Genesis Laboratory) are stitched edge-to-edge — no portals, no loading screens. Walking off the right edge of one zone takes you straight into the next. The world is large; the screen shows a fixed 5×5 viewport that follows your nomad as you move.
Reading the Map
Each tile carries a coordinate (visible at the top of the wilderness HUD) and a tile type. Walkable terrain blends with each zone’s art. Impassable columns block movement and form a soft boundary between zones. A biohazard cluster means hostile creatures are present. A campfire marks a nomad camp — most camps host a Hunter Master who issues contracts. A pickaxe, axe, or rod indicates a resource node for gathering.
Crossing Zones
Zone borders open at narrow seams — usually one or two passable tiles per edge. The next zone’s tiles are tinted with that zone’s color so you can see what you’re walking into before you commit. The deeper the zone, the harder its monsters; nothing stops you from walking into a Tier 8 zone underleveled, but very little stops the things that live there from killing you.
