> *"The Village of Kastski rests on the slopes of the imposing Mount Kastska. The village's mausoleum and the relic it protects has led to deep superstitions among the people of the mountains."*

**Kastski** is the third village that Alcedor would visit. The village is located in high peaks and covered in snow.

## Map

The village is periodically assaulted by monsters during the night, forcing all villagers to retreat to the mausoleum. Inside, there is a relic that resembles a human skull, presumed to be a body of the saint. It is presumed to keep monsters away. There is magic shop that sells the Familiar spell and an Extra Life. The blacksmith sells a potion slot and a new weapon. To the east there is a garrison, two houses and Mount Kastka, and to the south, Darsov Shire.

### Stores

* Wizard Shop - Alan will sell you the Familiar spell for 300  and an extra life for 600 .
* Blacksmith - Christopher will sell you an extra potion flask for 250  and the tier 3 weapon for 400 .
* Inn - You can take a free health potion from the brewmaster or buy a mana potion for 25 . Additionally, you can talk to Matilda to change the time from day to night. Note that the Inn will be empty at night and you'll need to go to the mausoleum to change the time again from night to day.

### Houses

* Michael lives in the bottom right house. He will give you the Underworld Dreams quest.
* Timothy and Joann live in the top right house. They need to be encountered at the Mayor's house before they return to their home.
* Edgar, the Mayor, lives in the big house near the garrison. This building doubles as a shortcut through Mount Kastka and into Kastski's cult hideout.
* Caroline lives in the small house next to the garrison. She will give you the Skeleton Neighbor quest.

### Mausoleum

* A lone Priest guards the relic during the day.
* At night, all NPCs in the main part of the village except for Michael, Agatha, Oliver and François B. will be present in mausoleum. It is unknown if the Christopher sleeping next to the relic is the same person as the Blacksmith, as they have a different portrait and sprite.

### Garrison

* Inside the garrison are a Sergeant and a Captain. The sergeant will give you the Protect The Relic quest and the captain will give you the Gather Reinforcements quest.

### Relic

Inside the mausoleum is a relic that repels demons and keeps the mausoleum safe during the night, when monsters raid the village. It serves an important role in keeping the villagers safe, as Kastki initially only has two guards patrolling during the night. It's targeted by the local cultist group, who wishes to destroy it.

If the relic is destroyed as a part of the Destroy The Relic questline, evil spirits will be released and surround the village, along with a strange pink miasma. This does not have any effect on the town during the day, but during the night monsters will be able to enter the mausoleum and fight the guards. Although they will be fought off successfully even without Alcedor's help, the villagers will still be scared and filled with despair.
