Of Lock & Stone

Direhold has long been lost to outsiders, its existence fading to myth over time. You have had the grave misfortune of falling through a vast cave network and into the fabled city.

Now you must uncover what secrets lie beyond Lock and Stone, while avoiding those who do not welcome your intrusion.

The Creatures

Deep beneath the mountain, sinister creatures have claimed it for themselves. Skeletal renmants roam mindlessly, cursed dwarves cling to shattered pride, and hobgoblins will cruelly taunt any who come across them.

The Rune Slates

Key to your escape are the Rune Slates - mysterious tablets engraved with ancient symbols. You must understand the meaning of each rune to activate mechanisms and unlock new pathways.

The Direhold Puzzle Box

Direhold itself is a puzzle to solve. Exploring pathways, understanding the environment, and learning about the lore will allow you to access its secrets.
