“	Deep in the mountains, The Weathering Halls stood for centuries as a bastion of hope during less sophisticated times. Surrounding the Halls were three great gates, blocking passage or defending from northern invaders. The Warden's prized fortress and sturdy walls endured through the Great Wars. That was until the Colonials marched on The Weathering Expanse.	„
	— In-game description

Weathered Expanse is a map in the Northeast of the world map. Open spaces dominate vast swaths of the map. The weather here is more frigid, noticeable by the snowy ground and falling snow. The map also features large walls similar to the Bulwark running through the southern regions.

Update History[ | ]

Weathered Expanse was added in Update 0.0.30, being the 4th map added to the game.

Update 0.13 added a large coastline on the eastern side. This was done to line the map up with Endless Shore and to prepare the whole east coast (Weathered Expanse, Endless Shore, and Umbral Wildwood) for naval gameplay.

In Update 0.17, the Port Base was moved to the Port of Rime to give the Wardens an actual Port Base. (ba dum tiss)

In Update 0.20, the already on other maps existing Observation Towers and the new structure Safehouses have been implemented to this map.

With the release of the new hexagonal maps, Weathered expanse was disconnected from Callahan's Passage, which also resulted in the removal of the rock formations on the west side of the map.

Manuscript Page[ | ]

Manuscript Page

While flipping through dull manuscripts, a page written in a different hand slips out. A letter, maybe. Or convincing fiction?

It was told to me that his men had all survived the cold and frigid water, but their captain wouldn’t leave the animals behind. He tried to wait out the winter, the fool.

This captain, as well as the livestock, froze to death. It’s said that when the ice cleared and winter passed, the ship sank to the depths of the ocean.

One by one, the surviving crew died of pneumonia. Months, even years after they lost the Burgundi, each crew member would fall ill until there were none alive.

No one would tell me the captain’s true name. Even the thought of it seemed to scare them.

Musings of a Deserting Soldier[ | ]

Musings of a Deserting Soldier

An old journal lies next to some abandoned bedrolls. It details the frustrations of a deserting soldier.

...our legion was called the 'Swords of Maro.' What kind of fuckin’ joke is that? A company of dullards running around calling themselves ‘swords’.

If Maro were alive to see what a farce his namesake has become, he'd have begged to swallow that bullet.
