Reaching Plainsong stunned me as the Utaru village was built on massive ancient dishes, surrounded by poisoned lands and their "land gods" still plowing the fields.
After exploring and meeting Zo and Varl, we faced the Chorus, hoping for permission to enter the mountains. The debate ended abruptly when alarms and smoke signaled that machines had broken through the Cordon.
I never guessed how Plainsong would look like but when I reached close to the place, I was amazed seeing it. I noticed there were several ancient dishes like the one I climbed up last time to jump on the TallNeck and the village itself was built on such dishes.
There was poison all around the place that messed up with the crops. I noticed Utaru farmers were doing something to the roots of those poisoned plants. I guess they were trying to save the remaining by destroying the poison.
I noticed some machines from a far and was thinking they were not noticing the Utaru farmers around. I went to check what machines they're and found out they're what the Utaru peoples calls as their land gods. And the Utaru peoples were making their gods ploughing their lands, lol.
After exploring around a little, I went ahead and found the final gate of Plainsong and there were a guards at the gate, who welcomed me there. After getting in, I got a festive vibe around.
There were Zo and Varl, waiting for me. I went to them and Zo said the Chorus has been assembled that she couldn't have done without Varl. Though Zo was confused how it'd go as the Chorus was in disharmony.
Zo and Varl left me towards the Chorus saying to meet them when I'm ready.
Then I decided to explore around this village for a moment and the first thing I did was talkin to that lady who gave me some advices about how to survive out there.
Then before going towards the Chorus, I climbed on top of the village, the tallest place from where I could see a good distance. The poisoned lands looked designed from up there.
Then I found a swimming pool that was built on top of an ancient dish along with some cabins. And there was this big tree up there. It looks like the Utaru peoples has been holding up quite well.
After exploring around more, I decided to get to the Chorus at last so I met Zo and Varl who took me to the Chorus. There were Utaru peoples all around.
And the Chorus is like a parliament from where Aloy had to take permission to get to the mountains. The peoples of the Chorus started the conversation quite well but they started being rude at a point and they did sound like they were not permitting Aloy for this, not even Zo was vouching for her.
Then suddenly they head an alarm from the mountains. Seeing the smokes from the mountains and hearing the alarms, Zo understood that machines must have broken through the Cordon and she made it clear that if the Cordon has fallen, there'd be nothing left to prevent them from going in the cave.
The time for permission is over.
The next post will be coming soon. Screenshots are my take from the game and I took the game logo that I used on the thumbnail picture from online.
SEE YOU.
