Drakendorp - Caves of Terratopia

Project Description
Nestled amid the rolling foothills and mountains of TerraTopia stands a small village. A mere echo of its once-prosperous self, Drakendorp, was once a rich village known for its use of raw material mined from the neighbouring caves. Now a much more sleepy village, the inhabitants invite you into their world. Learn how they have repurposed many buildings, open spaces, and changed their harvesting methods to live happy, but humble, lives in harmony with the local wildlife. Discover the history behind the myth and their respect for it and its Dragon.

For those who want to unearth even more behind the story of Drakendorp the villagers invite you to take a trip inside the caves and learn the secrets behind the myth. Flowing through the cave tunnels, will you discover the real truth behind the dragon?
