Overview
Paleoon is one of the five major regions of the continent Pywell. It is the homeland of the Greymanes and was once unified under the great leader Gian. The region has historically been known for its commitment to peace and unity among its various factions.
The region's culture shaped Kliff Macduff and his Greymane Companions, instilling values that set them apart from hostile factions like the Black Bear forces.
Gian's Unified Land
Under Gian's leadership, Paleoon was unified and at peace. The Greymanes served as protectors of this peace, fighting for their homeland's unity and protecting the innocent. Gian's vision was one of cooperation and stability.
With Gian's death, Paleoon has been plunged into chaos. A bloody battle now unfolds between the Greymanes who fight to uphold Gian's will and the Black Bear forces that seek to destroy his legacy and set the region ablaze.
Factional Politics
Before the events of Crimson Desert, the rival factions of Paleoon maintained a tense but stable balance under Gian's leadership. The peace-seeking Greymanes and the warmongering Black Bears represented opposite extremes, with other factions falling somewhere between.
The Black Bear assault that devastated the Greymanes shattered this equilibrium, and with Gian fallen, the region has descended into open warfare and chaos.
Geography
Paleoon features diverse terrain ranging from forests to mountainous areas. The region is part of the seamless open world of Pywell, accessible without loading screens from neighboring territories.
The region's people have adapted to its environment, producing hardy warriors capable of surviving harsh conditions, a trait shared by both the Greymanes and their rivals.
Connection to Kliff's Journey
Paleoon represents Kliff's roots and the values he fights to protect. His journey begins with reuniting the surviving Greymanes to rebuild the faction and reclaim their homeland. Restoring Paleoon to the peace Gian envisioned is central to Kliff's mission.
Players will explore Paleoon and its settlements throughout the campaign, encountering allies and enemies shaped by the region's complex factional history and the chaos following Gian's death.
