“ | You know how the Peripheries border most of the countries and kingdoms in the world? Beyond that you have the Great Begeondan, which no humans have set foot in. Well, over on the Eastern Reaches, it's basically covered by a Great Begeondan! | „ |
— Pa |
The Great Begeondan is an unexplored, faraway land that is full of danger, teeming with artificial intelligence (AIs) and rare creatures. One such Great Begeondan is the vast southmost area on the same continent as the Alliance of Free Cities and lies to the southwest of The Peripheries, but is not an explorable area in My Time at Portia.
During a fireside meeting, Pa divulges a small amount of information about his travels there.
Pa's letter[]
Late in the game, the player's Pa writes to the player from the Great Begeondan, where he is exploring.
Letter From: Pa |
Hey Player, It's your old man, I hope this letter finds you. It's been a long time since I last wrote to you. How are you? I hope you're adapting well and are making great changes to Portia. I really enjoyed my time in that city, you know. That's why I never sold the workshop even though I traveled around so much. I'm not sure why I'm writing to you right now, I guess I just wanted to let you know I'm still alive and kickin'. We've been traveling the Eastern Continent since I last wrote you, exploring its wonders. It's always dark, cold, and dangerous, but oh there are so many wonders. We're probably the first humans to set foot in these parts in a long, long time. I guess I just wanted you to know that, you know, in case I don't come back. But I will try to make it back, maybe when you've become a great Builder like me, we can compete and see who's better then. How's that for a thought? Haha! -Pa |
Afterwards, Presley asks the player about the letter:
| Is he doing well? |
---|
Yes, he says that he's on the Eastern Continent, there's even a picture! |
| So he's finally done it, huh? He's always wanted to join up with an exploration team. You know, I still remember the day you came to Portia. It seems so long ago. But look at you now, you've really grown! We're all very glad you're here! Well, time to get back to work. I'll see you later. |
