The Aurum Plains is a region explored in Chapter 2 of Alabaster Dawn. It sits along the route between Remis Rock and Sundalan, and it is one of the areas Juno crosses while working to free the land from the Nyx Curse. The plains are made up of several connected sub-areas and host the mole boss Grandis Molis.
Overview
Field | Detail |
|---|---|
Chapter | Chapter 2 (current Early Access content) |
Connected areas | Koro Valley (via Old Watchtower and the Grand Passage), Sundalan; a path west toward Scala Moor is currently inaccessible |
Boss | |
Current endpoint | Somu's Rest, at the end of the Water Pollution story (community-documented) |
Sub-Areas
Community mapping documents fourteen named maps making up the region. The route is fairly linear at first: during the Lost Lands section, a direct path runs from Old Watchtower at the northern end of Koro Valley to Impact Crater by Sundalan, with branching paths opening later.
Map | Notes |
|---|---|
Old Watchtower | A height of land with watchtower ruins. Leads from Remis Rock in Koro Valley to Sun's Gaze. |
Sun's Gaze | A lookout over a lake. The Chosen once flew gliders from here. |
Hidden Steep | A descent to a river crossing, with a Waysprout and landmark. The path continues north to River Road; paths east to South Bend open much later. |
River Road | Several branching paths with old ruins and puzzles. Connects Hidden Steep, Stone Call Inn, and South Bend. |
Stone Call Inn | A massive ruined inn that cannot yet be entered. The wheat fields out front hold the Eye of Libra, a divine monument, with a landmark and cooking point. |
Sol Gate Bridge | A large stone bridge across a river, originally broken, connecting Stone Call Inn to Old Farm. Holds a landmark and the entrance to Sol Gate Trial, a single-room Hall of Trials with a complex puzzle. |
Old Farm | The ruins of a farm with substantial wheat fields under mostly destroyed aqueducts. Paths lead to Sol Gate Bridge, North Bend, and Somu's Rest, and there is a cooking spot. |
North Bend | A small connecting area of ruins and bridges leading from Old Farm to South Entrance. |
South Entrance | The southern gate of Sundalan. Paths run along the outside of the city walls, with Impact Crater to the east and Ruined Ranch to the west. |
Impact Crater | The site of the Sundalan nest, projecting into the ocean beside the city, with a Waysprout. Also includes the Beacon o' Helio, a watchtower on the Sundalan walls accessible from inside the city. |
Ruined Ranch | The southwest corner of the Sundalan walls, between South Entrance and West Entrance, holding many ruins including a large building. |
West Entrance | The western gate of Sundalan. The gate and the paths north and west are currently blocked, so the only access is from Ruined Ranch. |
South Bend | The northern end of the Grand Passage, the massive ruined stone bridge leading from Koro Valley. Has a landmark, a cooking spot, and several Nyx puzzles. |
Somu's Rest | The path west from Old Farm toward Scala Moor, reachable only with Corran Solas. Holds the ruins of a Chosen training lodge where Somu has taken up residence, plus a Waysprout. This is currently where Early Access content ends. |
Treasures
Treasure chests across the region hold gems, Constructs, Whisper of the Gods bundles, and three Divine Arts. Many chests only appear once the region is uncorrupted, and several require Corran Solas. Chest contents are community-documented for the current build.
Divine Art | Location | How to Obtain |
|---|---|---|
Ring of Rocks | River Road | Uncorrupted only, at the end of a long parkour path from Sol Gate Bridge. |
Cragspike Salvo | Hidden Steep | Open the path to South Bend, complete the puzzle there, and return to Hidden Steep by a different path. |
Zapflash Slash | Ruined Ranch | Requires Corran Solas. |
Two Fulcrum Marks are also found in the region: one at South Bend and one at Old Farm, the latter appearing after Wheat Field Wac-A-mole. Fulcrum Marks tie into the Divine Seal at the Eternal Spring in Koro Valley.
Enemies
Common enemies across the plains include the burrowing Molis (a mole-like Nuemera that ambushes from underground), encountered in scripted and respawning groups during the Freeing Sundalan and Free the Farm questlines. The mole boss Grandis Molis guards the Impact Site on the route to Sundalan.
The plains also host tougher foes. The bull-like Bovarks acts as a miniboss and often appears in pairs, resisting Slashing and Piercing while taking extra break from Blunt. The Aether flying-fish Pendicis wanders in from the Trial of Aether. During the Freeing Sundalan questline, an unnamed Vulture boss (shown in the interface as ?????) perches at North Bend; it cannot be defeated normally and simply flees once its break bar fills. The northern and southern fields are also foraging grounds for Aurum Plains ingredients, including Gartoffel, Clerry, and Frumatto.

Role in the Chronicle
The region hosts five main-plot stories of the Chronicle in the current build, documented by the community as follows:
Freeing Sundalan: Juno and Filia travel north through the plains and eventually Weave the Nest outside Sundalan, lifting the curse of Nyx from the area.
Rebuild from Ruins: the innkeeper Ronan Estquin leads Juno and Filia south from Sundalan to see where they can help with the town's recovery.
Wheat Field Wac-A-mole: Juno and Filia clear the Nuemera infestation blocking the wheat fields at Old Farm.
Nuemera Island: the pair head south to the Grand Passage to clear the Nyx from the ruined bridge so rebuilding can begin.
Water Pollution: Juno and Filia head west toward Scala Moor to restore the source of Sundalan's aqueducts. This is currently where the game ends.
Side Stories
Ronan's Inn: starts automatically during Rebuild from Ruins.
Dream Within a Dream: starts automatically during Rebuild from Ruins and opens Somu's Dream, the Roguelite Mode.
Notes
The Aurum Plains are part of the current Early Access build. The May 2026 roadmap notes that additional side quests for the region are planned for a later update, so some content here is still being filled in. This page covers what the current build confirms. The path west from Somu's Rest toward Scala Moor exists but is currently inaccessible; the Scala Moor region is planned for the 0.2.0 update, now targeted for early September 2026.
