The Heartlands, also known as Equestrian Heartlands, is a vast transition area, linking three major cities (Cantermore, Cloudopolis, and Ponydale). It has a size of about five times that of Cantermore. Multiple points of interest can be found in The Heartlands, most notably the Midway Village.

According to the NPC Rear Echelon, the Heartlands is considered to be a wilderness area. This is emphasised by the number of mob clusters in the area, such as Husky and Corgi Diamond Dogs, Lantern Monsters, and even Dragons.

Places of Interest[]

Midway Village[]

Rooster Towers[]

The Rooster Towers is a trio of wooden towers linked by bridges. Players entering The Heartlands from Cantermore should be able to spot this structure not too far off in the distance and will pass it on the way to Midway Village. The NPCs Purple Rain and Stella can be found here. Forest Dryads spawn in a small valley nearby.

There are similar towers in at least two other parts of the Heartlands.

A different tower design called Gryphon Roost by the development team and dubbed the Griffin Nest or Griffin Tower by players is located between Midway Village and the gate to Cloudopolis. It has no ramps, so its elevated levels are only accessible by flight or teleportation, except for a portal at the base (between the two guards) which takes you to one of the small platforms, which will allow you to jump to the main one where Cuckoo Lane is standing.

Near Gryphon Roost Iron Ore can be mined.

Sparring area[]

The Sparring area is a dedicated arena where players can engage in Player versus Player (PvP) combat in an open zone. This arena can be accessed by entering any of four portals around the fountain in Midway Village. Any player that enters the area can be attacked by other players. A transparent red wall bounds the area where PvP combat can take place.

Exiting the sparring area zone deposits a player's pony on a porch overlooking the fountain.

Waterfall Trees[]

Pet Graveyard[]

Heartlands Cemetary Day

The Pet Graveyard can be found near the Cantermore portal. In the daytime, like everywhere else in the Heartlands, the area is clear, but at night however, a thick gray fog covers the graveyard while the squawking of crows can be heard as you enter it.

Pegasi will be unable to fly once they've entered the graveyard and if they attempt to do so, they will immediately land and the message 'A mysterious force prevents you from flying' will appear in the chatbox.

Athmanes Ruins[]

Trivia[]

  • The map was implemented in pre-alpha 5
  • Before the map was modeled, developers originally planned for the map to be twice as large as the version that was eventually worked on. The map was scaled down to reduce CPU load on older computers.
