As for Daria herself, sure she's more approachable and brings the guild good publicity - but if you wanna know who she is, listen to her own words in your first fight with her: "Because I'm a better you! No dumb friends, no dumb runts hanging off my coattails, and no baggage." (2/2)

Imagine you go into work one day and someone is there with your exact same skill-set, experience, and capabilities... only she's a lot more outwardly approachable. That's what happened with Sangoro and why she ended up quitting. (1/2)

So what did Stepp do? Right as Sangoro quit, she told her father off and quit right with her, wherever the Cactus woman went, she went. So now our Flytrap/Succulent gal is working as Sangoro's quartermaster, with the hope that she can lighten Sangoro's burden as the only diver soon! (3/3)

Problem was, aside from being the guild's best Diver - Sangoro was the only friend she had who wasn't using her for her status, and Stepp appreciated that. So her father's decision to sack her in favor of the final main player in this cast, didn't go as well as he hoed with her. (2/3)

Cordelia is the first BIG mystery of the Singed Ruins. While she's amiacable to Sangoro, and has the ability to help her find even more secrets to the Labyrinths, she's been trapped so long, nobody knows what SHE gets out of helping Sangoro. Thankfully she's on her side... but for how long?

Steppena, or rather "Stepp", is the daughter of the guild master: Lusha Ironwood. So why is she with Sangoro? After her mother's death, Lusha ended up obsessed with the image of the "Iron Woods" guild, to the point he outsourced replacements for his best workers, Sangoro included. (1/3)

Gavel has been around Sangoro ever since they were Saplings. Too nervous and introverted to stand up for himself, Sangoro typically sent his bullies packing and has been in her corner ever since. Now that she's on her quest to uncover the big score, he sees it as his turn to repay the favor.

What is a Folian? Plant people basically. They're based on various plant species all over the world. Folians based on hostile or predatory plants (or have their ancestry) typically have sharper features compared to the ones based on non-hostile and non-predatory plants.

Who is Sangoro? Sangoro is a young Cactus Folian who runs a Labyrinth Diving Guild. She's abrasive but you see her softer side early on. In order keep the guild open, she and her two friends have to explore the biggest set of ruins ever seen on the continent, bringing back any treasure they find.

We will try to be more active when it comes to our dev cycle next year. Things ARE happening but at a slow enough pace that not a lot of posts can be made. With a little more hope and optimism: we are hoping to change that.
