OVERVIEW

The Prologue introduces you to the Greymanes, a band of warriors reeling from a devastating ambush by the Black Bears. These opening hours establish the world of Pywel and teach you the fundamentals of combat, exploration, and traversal.

PROLOGUE QUESTS

The Prologue is split into two main quests:

  • Ambush β€” Meet the surviving Greymanes, defend the camp from Black Bears, and face the rival leader Myurdin in a scripted boss fight.
  • Unknown Space β€” Navigate the Corridor of the Void, learn key traversal abilities (precision jumping, climbing, Blinding Flash, lantern), then emerge in Pywel to meet Sebastian and ride to Hernand.

TIPS FOR THE PROLOGUE

  • - Don't worry about inventory or exploration yet β€” you'll have plenty of time once Chapter 1 begins
  • - Focus on learning the combat basics: positioning, blocking, and dodge timing
  • - The Myurdin boss fight is designed to be unwinnable β€” just enjoy the story beat
  • - After completing both quests, Chapter 1 begins immediately
