Screenshots: The Engwithan Empire

Little is known about the long-lost Engwithan empire or its culture. Called the "Builders" by the tribes of Eir Glanfath, the Engwithans are believed to have created strange, elaborate structures over decades using shaped pillars of living adra to support the stone. Their language is barely understood by even the most well-read scholars, leaving many details of their society lost to the ages and hopelessly mired in rumor, folklore, and blatant lies.‪#‎PoELaunchMarch26‬

Every fantasy setting needs a fallen empire of a previously advanced civilization around.  Looks pretty sweet.  I have a feeling we are going to be finding out all about these guys in the main plot.

Stormwall Gorge looks more "bluish" compared to the  BBeta. 

I'm wondering if it's only a screenshot effect or there is an effective change between  Bbeta and the screenshot build

Engwithan is an ethnic group or a race? 

 

If I remember correctly it is neither, rather a vanished country and culture formed of multiple species, that is now protected by the Glenfathans. I may be misremembering however.

Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.

I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin.

 

Tea for the teapot!

Something I like about PE is that the Engwithan's are not more advanced in general than modern society.  They may have a known a few things that the current society doesn't (just like Damascus steel) but they weren't more advanced in general.

Turns out they were aliens disguised as humans. One of their temples is a huge spacecraft, and you have to use it to stop other aliens from invading the world, disguised as demons.

 

Crap... spoiler alert! 8S

Should we not start with some Ipelagos, or at least some Greater Ipelagos, before tackling a named Arch Ipelago? 6_u
