Little is seen of the world outside the Nest. This is also probably why the Master's influence has not yet extended beyond the valley's high walls.Īn image of the Nest from the outside world. This is likely the reason why interaction between humans of the outside world and the Soldiers of the Nest has never occured within living memory. The only one of these inhabitants shown to be capable of leaving the Nest are the Trico-beasts. It is also responsible for animating the hundreds of suits of armor. It asserts dominance over the Beasts by controlling their actions. The most notable being of the Nest, however, is the Master of The Valley.

Getting between these buildings proves difficult as, any man-made structure has fallen prey to the elements and is ready to collapse at any moment Trico's size and weight add further trouble. The main complex stands isolated in the valley's center, each temple only connected to another via cliffside paths and bridges. Crumbling towers, courtyards, bridges, tunnels and temples lay in uninhabited decay, giving the bowels of this valley a formidable and lonely atmosphere.Ī screenshot by GuiltyBit visual of a forest within the Nest.
