Empyrean Campaign

There are 12 major zones of the game which are roughly positioned to match a clock face. This is echoed in the hyperspace map:

Hyperspace map

Each major zones of the game will be made of three good-sized, content-heavy maps. The first creatures appear on map 1-1, the first teleporter is in 1-2, and the first boss in 1-3. That pattern repeats until the finale at level 11-3. The player starts in zone 12 which contains the main village.
