Path of Exile Hideout Competition

Several years have passed since Kitava's defeat. Embracing the praise of your peers, you continue ridding Wraeclast of threats and supplying the civilization with your plunder. You are known as their savior, their defender of peace and prosperity. You are the embodiment of a long lost prophecy, Criminal to Emperor. Denying this title, your modesty carries you forth your eternal adventure.

Navali urges you to fulfill this prophecy against your wishes to become the Emperor. She fills your ear with promises that your next adventure will lead your people to a new age. The prophet sends you off into the Map Device, warning you beforehand you will make an unforeseen sacrifice of both time and memory, where she can not see.

You step forth into the portal and are immediately torn with confusion and regret. Furious bolts of light tear through the sky as you cling onto a small makeshift boat with your life as it's thrashed against the unwelcoming sea. You strain and weaken, shifting on the boat riding the waves. Minutes pass as years, you slip in and out of consciousness. A mystical blanket of haze clouds your view while you fight to stay present.

As quickly as it began, it ended. Squinting at a blurry, beautiful sun kissed island ahead, as confusion overtakes you. You manage to muster enough strength to look behind, only to see a wall of black haze. Your body collapses as the boat carries you closer to this new land.

The gentle waves whisper against the sand that you lay upon. Your eyes reluctantly open only to see a familiar face. Einhar pulls your limp body to your feet. "Ah HA, finally, you've arrived!"

--My hideout serves as my personal "expansion" to the game. It will continue to evolve and change as the competition draws to a close. The theme is a lush island of paradise, once thought of as a myth. Designed as if it's just now starting to be overtaken by civilization, vegetation not completely segregated from humanity. Each master has their own "section" designed to fit their theme. I'm currently at the limit of objects placed, so any changes will indeed look like an evolution as I progress further into the game and design.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Oriath. They have had an incredible string of bad luck and I for one hope some insane exile with god slaying power doesn't make things worse. Loved the lighting of the layout and wanted to keep with the dark theme of POE. I created a prayer temple to match my vision
