Locations
The Wildermeld is an 8 × 8 map of regions, redrawn for every new game. You start in a quiet corner; the closer you get to the heart of the map, where the dragons make their lairs, the more dangerous it gets. Villages and cities are always safe. Walking to a neighbouring region takes 6 hours.
Cities, villages and their child areas need no clearing. Arriving in a settlement immediately opens neighbouring regions; wild regions open their neighbours once cleared. Dragon regions still require their main quest.
A world, as generated
One world from the game’s generator (seed 99017). Colour and number show each region’s enemy level; ◆ marks the start.

How it works
Danger
A region’s level depends on how far it is from the centre of the map: 30 in the four central regions, then 25, 20, 15, 10 and 5 ring by ring, down to 1 in the corners. Villages, cities and the buildings in them are always level 1. Every floor you go down a dungeon adds one level.
Indoors
Caves, dungeons, keeps and tombs are dark on every floor: bring a light. Some buildings keep opening hours. Castles, keeps, tombs, dungeons, mines, ruins and the labyrinth have more floors in more dangerous regions: at least twice their minimum, up to the region’s level.
