Hello Survivors.

This week we step into the corners of the Lost Isle that Mauroth still holds dominion over; the places where his influence runs deepest, and the madness waiting for anyone who lingers too long.

Insanity

Mauroth didn't set out to go mad. He was a god who went looking for answers in places no one should have looked, studying the works of the old gods. Things that were never meant to be understood. That curiosity hollowed him out, and the corruption that took root didn't stay contained.

After being cast down and imprisoned on the Lost Isle, men came looking for whatever power they could get their hands on. Some found it. One could say that "the hearts of Men are easily corrupted," and the power of Mauroth has a corruption all its own. What were once people became empty vessels, an army that still stands today, waiting for a master who slumbers beneath the Isle.

Scattered across the Isle are Mauroth's Breaches. Dark pillars, corrupted and pulsing, that tear something open in the world around them. Enemies pour out in waves, each one stronger than the last. Killing them isn't the hard part. Standing near a Breach long enough to do it is where things get complicated.

The longer you stay, the more your sanity erodes. At first it's subtle. Then the Spirits start to appear... Spirits that target you. If your sanity is holding, you have time to read them and get clear. If it isn't, more come, and they come faster.

This isn't a threat you'll face everywhere on the Isle. But there are places where Mauroth's grip holds fast, and in those places, you'll feel every second you spend inside them.

The Bastions

Three locations on the Lost Isle bear the heaviest mark of Mauroth's powers. Each one was something before it became what it is now. What they are now is not welcoming.

Hallowed Hill

Atop the hill sat a small church and a burial ground for those who had passed on, a place where those who mourned could find peace. Now twisted, it is a place where those who were mourned can never find peace.

Ruins of Ravenhall

Once revered for its library of great knowledge, the world, magic, and science catalogued within its walls. The castle now lays in ruins, its knowledge rotting away, much like its current inhabitants.

Arundel Keep

A mighty fort that the surrounding people would look to in times of distress. It is now patrolled by the enemies it once proudly stood against.

All three hold as much treasure as they do danger. Puzzles, enemies, and secrets wait inside. Come prepared and you might leave more powerful than ever. Come otherwise, and you might not leave at all.
