MORTIS, ZERETH The First Ones established Zereth Mortis as a workshop for the creation of afterlives. All that exists in the Shadowlands was constructed by its inhabitants, the automa. It’s an odd, unearthly place that defies all notions of reality and physics. The Jailer seeks to remake reality and bend it to his malicious will by using Zereth Mortis’ secrets.

• The Enlightened Have a New Reputation
  • The Enlightened are traders that have been on Zereth Mortis for quite some time. They no longer see their surroundings as commercial, but rather as hallowed spaces where they expect to fulfill a greater calling—the quest of knowledge. To succeed and protect Zereth Mortis, find common ground with The Enlightened.
• The First Ones’ Cypher
  • The automa of Zereth Mortis talk in a musical language that mortal races cannot understand. In this new progression system, team up with a curious automa sidekick to study the Progenitors’ forgotten language and dive deeper into the mysteries of Zereth Mortis, unlocking a slew of new zone activities, daily tasks, events, and prizes.
    • Note from the developers: Because this feature is still under development, any elements described may change.
