the World Of Lanthir
The Story of Count Pumpcula takes place in Eastern Archipelago of Lanthir Range. It currently consists of 7 main areas where you will have to dash, jump and fight to return to your Castle. Here are a few of the environments that you will be faced with:
Travellers Cove: A quiet, peaceful and magical island where the player can rest and relax with your fellow island companions.
Krakens Pass: Home to the cold-blooded creatures that live within Poseidon's dominion.
Ulunn Cave: An ancient underground area that has become entangled with the roots of the towering Forest of Orn.
The Dark Woods: A misty landscape which consists of tall pine trees that tower over a small but friendly Inn.
Isle of Orod: Rock beasts and blind bugs dwell under these dark and dusty mountains. The creatures that live here are as unforgiving as their sharp stalactite surroundings.
Forest of Orn: A tree village that is home to the Sagelings. Although protectors of these lands, they too need help as a curse lies upon their forest...
Minas Gilath: A tall tower that ascends to the clouds and stars where only the purest of beings reside. None shall pass unless the Sage Knights deem you worthy.
