As the number of supporters and funding skyrocketed, Ashes of Creation went underground.

Thanks to the continued support of the fans, the stretch goal for the implementation of the underground areas has now been achieved.

This means that an extensive underworld with its own flora and fauna awaits us in the finished game. Similar to the overworld, it will also be changeable by the players using the new Ashes of Creation Node System.

The Ashes of Creation developers themselves write:

The Underrealm will be a rich environment where bioluminescence abounds in the fauna and flora that exist here. These deep caverns and underground valleys will provide new destinations for civilization to develop. Bringing the node system into the depths of the world, may awaken darker creatures than the surface. Be careful ...

Nodes are points in the world that are influenced by player actions in a certain area around them. For example, entire settlements can be formed from individual mines or hunters' huts. Of course, this can also have negative effects. When the rampant civilization breaches the boundaries of a goblin tribe, an army may suddenly appear at the gate.

This means that the next destinations are no longer that far away. Upon reaching 11,000 backers, there would be an exclusive water mount:
