Dr. Michael Bhatty: You can access about 70% to 80% of the world of Ancaria from the beginning. The rest will be accessible during the main quest. This world has a very topological setup therefore featuring over 16 political regions or over 25 geographical ones. We have vast deserts of sands, rocks, oasis, beaches; we got swamps in the darker areas, volcanic areas and misty mountains with needle trees, icy ranges and lush green kingdom sites. It features a lot of very nice places, when your move offside the main quest paths, as your can explore very interesting areas here. Of course, not all of SACRED is outdoors. We have cities and villages, where you can enter every building and dungeons, ranging from small animal caves to vast underground fortresses of the dark elves or the capital sewers.​
