The Alpha is divided into two sections, each accessible from the main menu: Pluto's Gate and Upper Erebus.

Upper Erebus
Jump into a mission several hours into the game, armed with weapons, equipment, skills, & magic that you may have acrued by this point. Explore your options & gain reward from the followers of Ishtass, who trade in survival knowledge. Focus less on completing the objective, than HOW you do it.
