Shadow of the Immortals: FAQ

Shadow of the Immortals

For years, whispers of the Land of the Immortals have stirred unease across Dracania. What was once thought to be mere legend is now unfolding into reality. In Kingshill, rumors spread of mysterious strangers and vanishing patrols, shaking the townsfolk and merchants alike. Their tales reach the ears of adventurers… and ultimately, the throne.

King Harold himself reveals the truth: a new territory has emerged within the Land of the Immortals, and a foothold has already been secured — the city of Thera. But what lies beyond its gates is far from safe. Warriors sent ahead have gone silent, shadows creep across the realm, and even the trees themselves wither with secrets untold.

Guided by Zador Beniss and the scattered memories of strange allies, you are tasked with uncovering the mystery. What connection binds the creatures of this realm to the ancient wisps? What truths linger within the Ashen Plains, Whispering Vale, and Grayshade? And above all — who, or what, is the immortal invader known as Varnok, the Wanderer?

The path forward is perilous, but clear:

• Investigate the haunting legends.
• Uncover the lost history of the Immortals.
• Face the Wanderer in his towering domain.

Your journey into the Shadow of the Immortals begins now.
