Fractured Earth is the 21st level in Populous: The Beginning. The player will have access to this level by completing level 18: Head Hunter and level 19: Unlikely Allies. It will provide the blue tribe with the spell Volcano. If the player finishes this level, he can use Volcano in the levels 16, 17 and 20, too. This level introduces a new mechanic, where the player has to cast land spells (such as landbridge or flatten) to fill the land canyons, else they erupt.

Starting Speech

"This is a mysterious,hostile land. I sense there are many dangers that I must face before we meet the Dakini in battle."

Setting

The player starts off on a big landmass together with the Dakini. Both bases are located on high ground, the Dakini base being already built up. East of blue's base are mountains, followed by low ground with lakes and finally the Dakini Base. On this low ground the player will find a stone head with two shots of erode. The Vault of Knowledge is located southeast of blue's base on high ground and will provide the volcano. There's also a small Dakini settlement with a Spy Training Hut, a Guard Tower and a hut. South of the player's Reincarnation Site is a Totem Pole which will flatten the land south of you. There are many gaps around the landmass with steam comming up from them. They will turn into volcanos after some time if they're not closed. There are also lightning strikes at the Dakini base.
