The World

One shared, persistent world of fog, candlelight and grave soil.

The Starter Zone

Your first steps in the veil are taken in a moonlit graveyard beneath a great cathedral, among bare trees and behind a fence and gate.

Places

  • The graveyard: home to skeletons, rats, grave crawlers and worse.
  • The inn: the town trainer works indoors.
  • The crypts: shared dungeon ground beneath the graveyard.
  • The mausoleum: a walkable stair leads to its red door. Step through and you are carried back to the Hearth at the west gate.
  • The west gate: two guards stand outside it and strike down hostile creatures that chase players there. A creature a guard kills gives no experience or loot.
  • The west clearing: where the Mourning Root stalks.

People

  • Warden Edda Marrow offers “Cull the Restless Dead”: put ten undead to rest and report back.
  • Izzy, a travelling vendor, sells packs and buys spare gear.
  • The banker keeps your coin and items safe: a personal bank for each character and a small shared bank for the account.
  • The Mourner's Warden and the town trainer.
  • Hollis Vane trains Fleshcrafters.

Creatures and Bosses

The Ossuary Keeper

Level 6 · graveyard boss

It attacks slowly, cannot be rooted or staggered, and a group is a good idea. It carries Zodiak's Bone Saw. The graveyard boss always drops one of three rewards: Zodiak's Bone Saw, the Ossuary Arms or the Coffin Lid Shield.

The Mourning Root

Level 12 · world boss

A huge hanging-tree horror that patrols the west clearing slowly, hits hard and cannot be rooted or staggered. Bring a full group. Its rewards are named and No Drop.

Skeletons, the Gravebound Stalker, the Carrion Ghoul and the Plague Rat also roam the graveyard.

Law of the Land

  • Coin: copper, silver and gold. 100 copper make a silver and 100 silver make a gold.
  • Packs and weight: what you carry has weight; carry too much and you slow down, carry far too much and you cannot move.
  • The lantern: press L to light or douse it.
  • Corpses: you can drag a corpse to a safer place, at half speed.
