Omega 0.90.4

LOCUS is the world named in Omega's in-game guide to Rampart. The city is surrounded by countryside linking villages, temples and more remote destinations.^[1]^[2] This draft covers the region represented by Omega 0.90.4's overworld map and links its destinations to their own draft articles.

World map

This is a spoiler map: it shows the underlying terrain, including concealed destinations and mountain passes. In a new game, several sites initially appear as ordinary mountains, desert or the Sea of Chaos. Searching can reveal their true terrain.^[3]^[4]

Coordinates start at (0, 0) in the upper-left corner; x increases to the right and y downward. Symbols and their color groups follow the game's terrain definitions. Village file markers a–f are displayed as o, and temple numbers 1–6 as X, matching their loaded terrain types.^[5]^[6]

Terrain names and symbols come from the 0.90.4 definitions.^[6]

Places

The map directory gives the fixed entrances. Rampart, the six villages, six remote destinations and six main temples all have independent draft articles. These are destinations reached from the countryside, distinct from the rooms and facilities inside Rampart.^[7]

Rampart

Rampart is the city at (27, 19), connected to the countryside road network. Its draft includes a city map and an index of shops, guilds, temples and other facilities.^[5]^[8]

Remote destinations

The following entrances have distinctive surroundings once discovered.^[9]^[10]

Destination	Entrance and surroundings
Archmage's Castle	(6, 1), northwestern mountains; sixteen dungeon levels, the Archmage's court and High Magic throne.
Star Peak	(61, 3), northeastern mountains; LawBringer and Star Gem delivery.
Goblin Caves	(27, 22), south of Rampart; ten levels and the Goblin King, linked to Duke and Oracle quests.
Dragon's Lair	(60, 34), eastern desert; Dragon Lord, elite dragons and a guarded hoard.
Magic Isle	(4, 54), southwestern Sea of Chaos; Eater of Magic and the college's heart quest.
HellWell Volcano	(30, 58), southern crater; twenty levels and the Demon Emperor, linked to Legion and Oracle quests.

Directions above are relative positions on this map, not travel routes or assessments of safety. See the linked drafts for entry, return, quest conditions and encounter details.^[5]^[9]^[11]

Villages

There are six fixed village entrances. The numbers identify their map files; they are not a recommended visiting order. Each has a distinct magical stone.^[12]

Village	Position in this region
Star View (1)	(56, 5), northeastern road end; Lawstone.
Woodmere (2)	(35, 11), northern forest road; Balancestone.
Stormwatch (3)	(10, 40), western end of the southern road; Chaos stone.
Thaumaris (4)	(7, 6), northwestern mountains beside the river; Mindstone.
Skorch (5)	(41, 43), western edge of the southeastern desert; Sacrifice stone.
Whorfen (6)	(20, 41), near the southern river and swamp; Voidstone.

These positions follow the 0.90.4 map.^[5]

Main temples

These countryside temples are separate from the Rampart Pantheon. Their file numbers select Odin, Set, Athena, Hecate, Druidism and Destiny in that order.^[13]

Temple	Surroundings and description
Temple of Odin	(22, 30). Southern mountains; rough-hewn granite. High Priest of Odin.
Temple of Set	(45, 45). Southeastern desert; a black sandstone pyramid. High Priest of Set.
Temple of Athena	(51, 11). Northeastern mountains beside the river; marble columns. High Priest of Athena.
Temple of Hecate	(19, 46). Southern swamp; ebony adorned with ivory. High Priest of Hecate.
Temple of Druidism	(32, 5). Northern mountains surrounded by forest; a temple formed of living trees. Archdruid.
Temple of Destiny	(49, 59). Far southeast, within a pocket of the Sea of Chaos; mysterious blue crystal. High Priest of Destiny; Challenge of Adeptness portal.

See Main temples for their shared layout and encounter rules, and High priests for priesthood and succession.^[5]^[14]

Version notes

The map and destination numbers on this page are for Omega 0.90.4. They represent fixed underlying geography, not the player's explored area, current position or changing terrain during a particular game. The loaded map distinguishes concealed terrain from its underlying identity.^[2]
