The camera pans across the Palladium Peaks, a range of small, craggy mountains on the outskirts of the rebuilt (and renamed) New Palladium City. As the shot drifts away from the urban sprawl and into the breathtaking vistas that surround it, the voice-over continues.

'But here, hidden amongst the soaring summits and ancient valleys, we find what is perhaps Achelia's hidden gem. Tucked away within the Palladium Peaks National Park is a smaller, quieter area, itself designated an area of outstanding natural beauty.'

The shot changes to a small mountain, with two channels running down it, mirror images of one another; one completely dried up, the other graced by a constant stream of fresh, crystal-clear water. The two channels arc and curve down the mountainside, stretching on for miles, and a pair of climbers can be seen between them, awestruck by the sight that nature has given them.

'Here, on the banks of the Echo River, peace and quiet reign. Sadly, the Echo River park ranger could not be reached for comment; he is currently believed to be on an expedition up Mount Goldenback.'
