<New Worlds>

[Kowloon Empire - Void Alley]

Kowloon Empire — Behind the dazzling facade was a nameless district―cast aside and abandoned as the price of progress. Over time, people began calling it: "Void Alley". No such thing as laws or order here. But because of that, anything goes and everything can be yours. The sleepless city is ruled by chaos and decay.

[Nostalgia Storybook]

That picture book. The one that moved me. The one I was enchanted by. Something which shaped who I am today. And yet I can’t… remember the story. Revisiting the room I spent my childhood in, I pick up the book one more time―And awaiting there, was my second ​ “Once upon a time…”

*Each exhibit areas will be distinguished and experimental, we await exhibitors who are up for the unpredictable challenge! (For details, please wait for the release of the submission guidelines)

[Dragon's Tradepost]

A tale of moving capitals, built on the backs of millennia beasts. The Horned Armor: Carnogaddon. Striding the sand and soil. King of the Jaw: Aggitusk. Ruling the lakes and jungles. Once a year, a festival unfolds when the two capital-bearing dragons cross paths by the lakeside.
