Behind Nix — the world beneath the eternal ice

Nix was not always ice. Before the snow, it was a fertile land — until it became a battlefield between the primordial dragons and the giants. The giants drove out the dragons, but soon a second war broke out: giants against the alliance of elves, humans and orcs.

The last giant, Tumgir, fell when the mages dropped a meteor upon him. The impact tore a dimensional rift to Diabolica and freed the demons — the same energy that now crawls beneath the ice.

Nix is the first snow biome in TL — and the cold created its own predators. Some monsters evolved to withstand the ice; others mutated from past events, became vengeful spirits or wander wrapped in thick coats.

At the top of the field food chain stands White-Shoulder Thuban: a colossal gorilla of immense strength. In cycles, it attacks the neutral zone of the Border Stronghold with wide area strikes and manipulation of the terrain itself.

Unlike Laslan, Stonegard and Talandre, Nix drops the Waypoints. Instead of teleporting between fixed points, the player descends from the Aeterion — the flying fortress hovering over the region — using the Aethersuit, the high-speed descent device.

On the ground, travel is guided by the Auroral Path: an artificial milky way made of magical energy particles, allowing the player to cross the fields and the uneven terrain of Nix freely.

The biggest technical obstacle in Nix was not a boss — it was the snow. An all-white field causes the whiteout: the loss of depth perception when everything around vanishes into white.

The team rewrote the lighting to create a unique light reflection of the snow, preserving depth reading and minimizing visual fatigue over long sessions.

For the studio, Nix is where all the progression so far comes together. For returning players, the region was designed to be strange enough to excite. For those arriving now, the promise is a breathtaking first impression.

And above all, Nix bets on the encounter between many players in the same field — the heart of MMORPG the team does not want to lose. At the same time, the content was designed so that small groups can play a wide variety whenever they want.
