THE ROAD TO BELLCROSS

A SHARED WORLD AT THE EDGE OF THE TIDE

Harrowtoll

Every traveller begins on Saltmere. Walk down from Bellwether, explore the caves the sea uncovers, and break the coral guardian of Brine Hollow to open the gate to Bellcross. Other travellers share the island, the tide and the fight with you.

THE BELLCROSS GATE

The gate answers you.

You have finished Saltmere, and the realm has recorded it. Bellcross itself is not built yet, so the gate cannot carry you there. You can see where it will lead in the world atlas, or stay on Saltmere.

Watch Brinebound’s arms. Step away from a sweep, clear the slam, then strike while it recovers. Movement interrupts your attack preparation. Everyone who lands a blow shares the victory.

A fallen creature leaves its remains where it fell, with 10 gold. Whoever did it the most damage may loot them alone for two minutes; after that, anyone may. Remains decay after five minutes, or 30 seconds after they are emptied. Walk up, select them and press E.

The tide rises and falls for everyone and covers the low shore; a traveller whose head goes under drowns. The Tidecut Gate stands across the gully below Bellwether. Turn the winch on its walkway to lower the shutter and hold the basin behind it at its present level, or raise it and let the sea back in. The gate moves for everyone. Cliffs have no safety barrier. Falls over 6 meters cause damage and a 16-meter fall is fatal. A fallen traveller wakes on Bellwether green.
