Dear adventurers, we are less than a week away from the release of the DLC "The Absence of Misericordia". Therefore, I would like to inform you in more detail about the contents of this scenario.
[h2]Outline[/h2]

It has been two years now, and the endless winter has not once relented, leaving many stranded in the settlement of Winternadir. The fur merchants come to the adventurers with a request...

The villagers often speak of a place of worship in the heart of a nearby valley. It was once home to "The Relic of Our Lady of Mercy", which was said to have kept the cold weather at bay. The relic is long since lost, and the valley has been abandoned. You must retrieve this relic, and return the region to its natural state.

This time the setting is around a remote village suffering from winter cold. What is the cause of this cold weather? Will the adventurers be able to put an end to this abnormal weather?
[h2]Overview[/h2]
- A compact yet challenging traditional labyrinthine exploration in a single labyrinth of less than 10 floors, including a new look that differs from the "Prisoners of the Battles".
- Treasure hunting with a fixed items instead of a random property.
