New Territory[]

History[]

Hundreds of years ago, the tribe from Knothole Glade discovered the existence of an island far off the mainland said to offer its inhabitants full control over their weather. Tired of constant Balverine attacks and damp, dreary weather, the tribe elders decided they would make an exodus to this mythic island and settle there. The ancient civilization who originally lived on the island created the magical artifacts that control the weather, and hid them in dangerous caves so that their warriors would be tested every year.

Notable People[]

Gordon1

Gordon with his submarine

The Chieftain[]

The Chieftain is middle-aged and a typical, slimy politician. He takes credit for everything the Hero does when things go right, and is quick to blame anyone else when they go wrong. Puffed up, avaricious, self-important, uses big words. After retrieving the last of the weather totems he offers you 10,000 gold to side with him, so that he can keep the villagers in line and tax them for the weather, or leaves Knothole if the hero rejects his offer.

Jessica[]

Jessica is the owner of the Box of Secrets shop, where explorers can trade for extraordinary items she has collected over the years. She's independent and one of the only few people who stands up to the Chieftain.

Gordon[]

Gordon is an inventor and submarine captain, who was sent to the mainland to find a Hero to save the island from the freezing weather.

New Items[]

Knight Hobbe Slayer 900

New plate armour available at Knothole Island

Knothole Island offers players a Plethora of new clothes, potions, and weapons.

The clothes include the Chasm Armour, an evil aligned set; the Barbarian outfit, the Greaser Gear; the Knothole Skirt, the bandit gloves, the rest of the Assassin sets, and the Knight Armour. Most of these clothes are available for trade in the Box of Secrets shop, but the Knight's Armour is found throughout the three weather quests and Gordon, who supplies the boots. The armour is either gold and white coloured (Good), silver and blue coloured (Neutral), or black and red coloured (Evil), depending on the Hero's alignment.

The new potions can be found at the Cosmetician's shop. They include a beauty treatment, fat/skinny potions, short/tall potions, and scar removal potions. Although all of these reduce purity.

There are many new weapons to find as well. A holy cutlass, a mage's sceptre, a barbarian's mace, an evil sword, and Hal's Rifle can be found in the Box of Secrets. In addition to these new legendary weapons, new augments and weapons with up to four augmentation slots may be bought. And if you change your mind about weapons that you've augmented, the new augment-remover tool can take them off the weapon. Please note that you cannot take augments off Legendary Weapons.
