WORLD OVERVIEW.
The game world is located in an archipelago and the City of Thieves is situated on a central island surrounded by the ocean and massive cliffs. There are a few bridges connecting the city to other areas on neighbouring islands such as the palace, but these are either heavily guarded or broken to create traversal situations.
The palace sits elevated and is thus well protected as it comfortably overlooks its surroundings. It is a clear landmark and can be seen from the player starting area in the mountains right across the map. This layout has the player first descend into the city to then make a climb towards the palace, creating a more dynamic experience.
