We’ve given you a glimpse of the state of Earth in a recent blog, however it won’t be the only world you’ll be exploring in Remnant: From the Ashes. Get a first look at Yaesha, the world of the Pan!

 

A rich and verdant world

The world of the Pan is starkly different than Earth. Where the latter is a rusting husk, Yaesha is full of life – green, vibrant and wild. The inhabitants of the world, the Pan, are a race of incredibly agile, goat-like bipeds with a unique hierarchical society governed by an immortal priesthood. Theirs is a strict culture made up of two castes: The Commoners that form the bulk of the workforce and the idle Nobility, of which the Pan Priests are preeminent. The common Pan live in elaborate treetop villages while most, if not all, of the nobility rule a region from ornate and massive ziggurats that dot the world.

Dangerous foes

The Pan are an extremely territorial race with a holistic view of nature, but they are violently xenophobic when it comes to other sentient races. They view them as competitive species and they will defend their home against any invader.

Most of the Pan are accomplished warriors in their own right, deadly not only with sword and spear, but also with a staggering array of exotic ranged weapons. Male and female Pan are equally responsible for the defense of the tribe or the high caste. In fact, many of the deadliest fighters are female – plucked from their villages through an elaborate festival of contests and indoctrinated into the Karai, the cadre of female guardians tasked with protecting the priesthood. The Pan have also filled their ranks with a subjugated species known as Pyrii, a semi-intelligent race of winged bipeds that have formed a symbiotic relationship with the Pan over the centuries.

The threat of the Root

The vanguard of the Root invasion has also begun on Yaesha. Here and there, Root scouting parties made up of the lizard-like Dracopede and its variants have laid claim to sections of the jungle. It’s only a matter of time before the Root take a foothold in the Pan world and, on that day, the Pan may face its fiercest enemy...
