The Riftbound Castle

The Riftbound Castle is the main area where you can plan your adventures, talk to different NPCs, and upgrade your character in different ways.

The Castle is divided in 4 Areas:

* Outer Castle
* Main Hall
* West Wing
* East Wing

# **Outer Castle**

The outside area of the castle, where adventures start. Low level monsters can be found around along with Anabelle. Since it's a beginner's area, there's absolutely nothing hidden in this area and no reason to explore or find anything hidden. At all.

This is a good area to learn that anything higher than your level can, and will, hurt.

* **Helper Anabelle:** Gives basic directions to new adventurers and also handles Pendant upgrades, She also provides high level buffs if you get closer to her.
* **Herkemer:** An NPC out of reach that has no purpose and doesn't require the adventurer to find a hidden lever. Doesn't have any use.

# **Castle Main Hall**

The Main hall of the castle has many useful NPCs you can interact with and also has a Warp Stone to warp to any unlocked stone.
