[[File:LanternCompare.png|thumb|Comparison of lanterns]]
The '''Axonian Lantern''' is an [[Artifacts|Artifact]] that functions identically to the regular [[Candle Lantern]], with the exception of the fact that its charge slowly replenishes on its own when unlit. Unlike the Candle Lantern, it cannot be refilled with [[Wax Candle|Wax Candles]] or [[Candle-end|Candle-ends]].

Its duration and light radius are exactly the same as that of a Candle Lantern, however it does posses a unique greenish hue of the light it gives off and a few unique sound effects of turning the light on and off.

==Acquired From==
{{Acquired from}}
* [[Verren]], as a reward from the dialogue immediately following the one about the [[Old Contract]], if you have the '''"Stoneshard — Axonian Lantern DLC"''' digital item. The DLC in question was never available for purchase to the wide audience, instead, it was gifted to the '''backers of Stoneshard's Kickstarter campaign''' and '''Trailblazers''' — players who participate in closed tests a few weeks prior to the release of every major update.

Dungeons

Mindwitness: Fixed Catacombs rumor

'''Dungeons''' in Stoneshard are the lair of the [[Enemies]]. Containing various monsters, these areas are the most dangerous (and also most interesting) places to explore.

__TOC__

=Dungeon Basics=
There are two types of Dungeons:
* '''Contract Dungeons'''
* '''Distant Dungeons'''

==Contract Dungeons==
[[File:Dungeon Danger.png|thumb|Example of a Dungeon description on the Global Map]]
'''Contract Dungeons''' are always tied to [[Contracts]]. Each Contract Dungeon should always be connected to their respective town via a road. Their position on the map is randomly generated in every playthrough, although they should always generate in the vicinity of their respective town (ie. Mannshire dungeon won't be closer to Osbrook than to Mannshire). All Dungeons have fixed names and the dialogue about a Contract will always mention the Dungeon's name.

Contract Dungeons can be found near:
* [[Osbrook]]
* [[Mannshire]]
* [[Denbrie]]
* [[Rotten Willow Tavern]]

==Distant Dungeons==
'''Distant Dungeons''' are optional Dungeons, typically of higher difficulty than the Contract Dungeons. This type of Dungeon doesn't come with a Contract and is not connected by a road. Their position on the map is also randomly generated and their names are also fixed.

Distant Dungeons can be found by:
* Exploring the map
* Using [[Maps]]
* [[Scouting]]
* Hearing about them in random [[Points of Interest#Rumours|Rumours]]
* Asking about Abandoned Forts and Dungeons at [[Skinflint Homs]]
* Receive a Rumor from an NPC as a quest reward ([[Marlo]] or [[Venemist]])

==Difficulty Tiers==
[[File:Dungeon tiers dialogue.png|thumb|800px|Example of Dungeon Tiers in a dialogue]]
Each dungeon has a '''Difficulty Tier''' ranging from '''1''' to '''5''', this is displayed as the amount of skulls next to a Dungeon's name. Tier dictates what kinds of [[Enemies]] and what kind of Loot can spawn in the dungeon. You can check the Tier when you hover a Dungeon on the [[Global Map]], and the skulls are also shown in the dialogue window when selecting a Contract. The Tier of a Dungeon can change after it respawns.

Currently, the possible Dungeon Tiers are:
* [[File:Tier 1.png|alt=|20px|]] — '''{{C|positive|Tier 1}}'''
* [[File:Tier 2.png|alt=|40px|]] — '''{{C|orange|Tier 2}}'''
* [[File:Tier 3.png|alt=|60px|]] — '''{{C|Fire|Tier 3}}'''
* [[File:Tier 4.png|alt=|80px|]] — '''{{C|negative|Tier 4}}'''
* [[File:Tier 5.png|alt=|100px|]] — '''{{C|negative|Tier 5}}'''

Dungeon Tier doesn't take your level or your gear into account. Contract Dungeons' Tier follows the current game progression: Osbrook -> Mannshire -> Rotten Willow Tavern -> Denbrie. Distant Dungeons don't follow this rule - a Dungeon without road near Osbrook can be a Tier 5 Dungeon. There are no level restrictions for entering high Tier dungeons, so confident Mercenaries can enter at their own peril.

==Dungeon Respawn==
Contract Dungeons will close after you complete or fail their corresponding Contract (and leave the dungeon entrance tile - if you are currently there or inside the Dungeon). Upon closing, any [[Loot]] or [[Enemies]] left inside will be lost forever. Distant Dungeons will remain open until you open the chest in the boss room. Opening the boss room chest will trigger their closure and respawn timer.

* Contract Dungeons will re-open after a new Contract generates, this typically takes 3-4 days.
* Distant Dungeons will re-open depending on their difficulty, Tier 4 typically takes a week to respawn, Tier 5 typically takes two weeks to respawn.

If you didn't accept a Contract, cleared its associated Dungeon, then sold (or otherwise disposed of) the Quest Items, the Dungeon will currently NOT respawn. You will have to accept the Contract and finish it (or wait until the timer runs out and incur the penalty for failing) in order to have the Dungeon respawn.

=Dungeon Layout=
Dungeons in Stoneshard use pre-made tilesets to construct each floor, but their configuration is randomly generated the first time you enter the Dungeon. After respawning, the Dungeon is generated again using the same rule. Therefore if you cleared a Bastion once, the same Bastion in the same spot on the Global Map will look different next respawn.

* Tier 1 and Tier 2 Dungeons always spawn with one floor.
* Tier 3 and higher Tier Dungeons spawn with two floors, this is the current maximum amount of floors.

The mechanics of layout generation are currently unknown.

==Secret Rooms==
Each Dungeon starting from Tier 2 has a chance that a '''{{C|epic|Secret Room}}''' will generate in the Dungeon. Secret Rooms are special loot rooms that are not connected to other dungeon tilesets by usual means, instead the player must either passively detect the Secret Room by walking near it or by using the [[Examine Surroundings]] skill in the right place. Secret Rooms can spawn with various contents - freely placed items, corpses with loot, a treasure chest, etc.

Not all dungeons generate with a Secret Room. Currently chance is fixed at 5%, therefore finding a Secret Room is quite rare. This chance is calculated '''per Dungeon''', so two floor Dungeons have the same chance for having a Secret Room as one floor Dungeons.

Detecting a Secret Room is indicated by:
* The player character comments about it.
* A [[Combat Log]] message "'''X has found a Secret Room'''" will be displayed.
* A crack will appear in one of the Dungeon walls, allowing passage inside the Secret Room.

=Dungeon Conditions=
[[File:Dungeon modifier.png|thumb|Example of a Dungeon Modifier as seen on the Global Map]]
Dungeons can generate with certain negative effects that raise the Difficulty Tier of a Dungeon and apply a special condition, typically making the Dungeon more deadly. Each Dungeon Type has its own set of possible '''Dungeon Modifiers'''. Dungeon Modifiers have a chance to appear in Contract Dungeons upon Contract respawn. If the player fails a Contract, the next Contract Dungeon of the same Type as the failed Contract Dungeon is guaranteed to spawn with a Modifier. All Distant Dungeons always spawn with a Dungeon Modifier.

=Dungeon Types=
The Dungeon Type is decided at the start of Adventure Mode. There are four main dungeon types.

* '''Bastion'''
* '''Crypt'''
* '''Catacombs'''
* '''Cave'''

Dungeon's entrance tile, tileset, structure, inhabitants, contents, modifiers are strictly tied to the selected Dungeon Type. You won't find Brigands and [[Food]] in a Crypt, similarly you won't find Skeletons in a Bastion.

==The Bastion==
[[File:Bastion.webm|thumb|]]

{{quote|This bastion once provided protection to the surrounding settlements, but now it's just a den of brigands and deserters, who use it as a base for their raids.}}

The '''Bastions''' — old fortifications or broken down towers from the war period, abandoned by the [[Factions & Settlements#Factions|Factions]] who had to divert their resources elsewhere. When deserted, these reliable strongholds of the past now slowly decrepit in the calloused hands of irresponsible new owners — Bandits and Rebels, becoming the perfect hideout for them, both as their base of operations and as a place to store their [[Valuables]], [[Alcohol]] and their captives. A mercenary can expect to find [[Food]], [[Materials]], and some [[Medicine]] in abundance here.

The second floor of the Bastions, although somewhat more mossy and ruined, does not lose traces of the fortress's former grandeur.

Structurally, the Bastions consist of medium-sized rooms with frequent small rooms, fenced off with wooden partitions. Some rooms have a special purpose: forges, kennels, etc. Also here mercenary can find kitchens with [[Beverages#Water|Barrels of water]] and Cauldrons suitable for [[Cooking]] and brigand armories with reinforced doors and [[Crafting|Workbenches]] inside.

Bastions usually have several [[Enemies#Brigands|Brigands]] guarding the entrance.

Negative Situation related to Bastion — [[Situations#Dangerous Roads|Dangerous Roads]].

Bastion is the first Dungeon type that mercenary will enter in the Adventure mode.

===Bastion Contracts===
* [[Captive Emissary]]
* [[Bounty Hunt]]

* Crooked Tower ([[Denbrie]])
* Margrave's Bastion ([[Rotten Willow Tavern]])

===Distant Bastions===
* Fort Etbert — '''Tier 4'''
* Fort Gray Falcon — '''Tier 5'''

====Rumors====
'''Old Castle'''
{{quote|Rumor has it, there's an old castle nearby, one of those built by the Order. By the time King Etbert ascended the throne, the keep had already been abandoned. <br><br>They say there are great riches hidden inside, but no one has found them so far. And even if someone did, there's been no word of them getting out with the loot…}}

'''Impregnable Fort'''
{{quote|A while ago, Weber sent a dozen lads to reclaim one of the surrounding forts. <br><br>There hasn't been a word from them since. The sergeant's silent, Weber's silent... Something's not right. Those lads are probably already dead and buried, may the Host have mercy on their souls.}}

===Bastion Modifiers===
* '''{{C|Unholy|Trapped Entrance}}''' — the entrance gate seals when you enter, re-open it by using the lever in one of the rooms inside the Dungeon.
{{quote|I've been told that the first few scouts who ventured there triggered a trap of some kind and never made it back. So keep that in mind.}}
* '''{{C|Unholy|Revelry}}''' — some Brigands have [[Drugs]] Effect/Aftermath or [[Drunkenness|Drunkenness I]].
{{quote|Only a few days ago, these scoundrels raided a large, wealthy caravan. Obviously, that called for a celebration — so now half the gang can barely stay on their feet.}}
* '''{{C|Unholy|Iron Discipline}}''' — grants enemies [[Iron Discipline]].
{{quote|Some say this gang isn't just your average riff-raff, but battle-hardened veterans of several campaigns. So if they truly know how to fight together, letting them swarm you all at once is bound to end badly.}}
* '''{{C|Unholy|Hefty Stockpiles}}''' — grants enemies ability to use some consumables, tools and throwing weapons. ([[Dagger Throw]], [[Hatchet Throw]], [[Caltrops Throw]], [[Flame Flask Throw]], [[Deathstinger Jar Throw]], [[Acid Flask Throw]], [[Drink Potion]])
{{quote|The bastion they took over had cellars stocked with all kinds of combat supplies. I have a hunch these fellows didn't let them go to waste.}}

==The Crypt==
[[File:Crypt.mp4|thumb|]]
{{quote|During its pinnacle, the Triune Hand Order built numerous crypts across the entire Aldor to help the souls of the departed join with the Host.<br><br>Although the crypts used to be heavily guarded, they were completely abandoned after the war — something which malicious cults quickly took advantage of...}}

The '''Crypts''' — spacious underground mausoleums consisting of several large halls leading to separate tombs, closed with stone slabs, the entrance to which can only be opened with a [[Crowbar]]. The dead did not find long-awaited peace in these cold corridors — Skeletons, Restless, Ghasts and other filth resurrected by the evil will of the necromancer pose an obvious threat to the mercenary. However, the crypts are filled with sarcophagi, coffins and burial urns, in which, with the right amount of luck, you can find enough [[Valuables]].

The second floor of the Crypts is a much less refined place than the decorated halls above: in some places the tiles give way to rough stone, debris and scattered bones are also not uncommon here.

At night, [[Ghoul|Ghouls]] feast outside the Сrypt, so visiting the location at this time of day can be dangerous.

The Сrypts in the north of Aldor are made in a rather strict manner, but closer to the south, in the [[Biomes & Weather#Steppe|Steppes]], they look more like ancient burial mounds.

Negative Situation related to Сrypt — [[Situations#Nightmares|Nightmares]].

===Сrypt Contracts===
* [[Cleansing Ritual]]
* [[Restless Crypt]]
* [[Undead Tide]]
* [[Stolen Grimoire]]

* Bone Mound ([[Denbrie]])

===Distant Crypts===
* Last Breath — '''Tier 4'''
* Bernarhof's Cenotaph — '''Tier 4'''
* Triune Hand Necropolis — '''Tier 5'''

====Rumors====
'''Hero's Mausoleum'''
{{quote|When I was a kid, my grandfather told me about a legendary hero buried in one of the nearby crypts many, many years ago — it should be somewhere in tha-a-at direction. <br><br>I can't recall his name, but apparently, the hero was laid to rest alongside a treasure of immense value. <br><br>You see, when the time comes, he'll rise from the dead and bestow it upon a new, worthy king of the realm…}}

===Crypt Modifiers===
* '''{{C|Unholy|Trapped Entrance}}''' — the entrance gate seals when you enter, re-open it by using the lever in one of the rooms inside the Dungeon.
{{quote|I've been told that the first few scouts who ventured there triggered a trap of some kind and never made it back. So keep that in mind.}}
* '''{{C|Unholy|Miasmas}}''' — increasing [[Hunger, Thirst & Intoxication|Intoxication]], can cause [[Coughing]].
{{quote|I heard the crypt's air was poisoned by a malicious ritual... Staying down there for too long is bound to be extremely dangerous.}}
* '''{{C|Unholy|Maddening Whisper}}''' — lowering [[Morale]] and [[Sanity]], can falsely show enemies outside [[Vision]].
{{quote|It's not a place for the faint of spirit. No matter what happens, don't give in to the whispers and promises that emerge from the shadows — they'll lead you to your grave.}}
* '''{{C|Unholy|Blasphemous Ritual}}''' — dead [[Enemies]] can be resurrected randomly.
{{quote|I don't know what manner of sorcery desecrated that crypt's halls, but our attempts at reclaiming it have yet to amount to anything — the undead just keep rising over and over on their own.}}
* '''{{C|Unholy|Restless Spirits}}''' — high chance to summon [[Wraith]] when you open sarcophagus.
{{quote|Rumor has it, some vile sorcery disturbed the eternal rest of everyone buried in that crypt. Those who don't obey the warlock directly now stalk the halls as wraiths… A gruesome fate.}}

==The Catacombs==
[[File:Catacombs.webm|thumb|]]
{{quote|The many ruins of monasteries, abbeys, and chapels is what remains of the time when Aldor was ruled by hierophants rather than kings,<br><br>Over the last few years, most of these places became the center of troubling rumors — locals do their best to avoid them.}}

The '''Catacombs''' — underground chambers of abandoned or destroyed monasteries. However, after the outbreak of the Crimson Plague, the smell of dried blood has settled forever in these holy walls, and with it, horrors unimaginable to the average person. Scriptoria and libraries were turned into slaughterhouses by bloodthirsty monsters that had lost their human appearance - [[Enemies#Secret Cults (Proselytes)|Proselytes]] who kidnapped local people for their terrible rituals. But if a mercenary takes measures to avoid bleeding to death in the cursed dungeons, he will receive a worthy reward — monasteries have always treated their wealth with special attention. Also in the Catacombs mercenary can find lecterns with [[Treatises]].

The deeper the mercenary descends into the cellars of the monastery, the more tense the atmosphere. And no wonder: it was here that the victims of the incurable disease that struck this land suffered, died, and ''changed''.

Structurally, the Catacombs are large halls divided by carved double doors. Smaller branches lead to the monastery's workrooms with [[Crafting|Workbenches]] and storage areas on the first floor, and to the infirmaries, where mercenary can find a variety of [[Medicine]], on the second.

From the outside, the Catacombs are safe: only overgrown ruins, silence and… corpses with some [[Loot]].

Negative Situation related to Catacombs — [[Situations#Pestilence|Pestilence]].

===Catacombs Contracts===
* [[Rumors of Bloodsuckers]]
* [[Echoes of the Plague]]
* [[Corpse Stench]]
* [[Lost Relic]]
* [[Fate of the Scouting Party]]
* [[Mysterious Disappearances]]

===Contract Catacombs===
* Pilgrim's Rest ([[Osbrook]])
* Chapel of the Guiding Star ([[Mannshire]])
* Brotherly Abode ([[Denbrie]])
* Cenobium of the Triune Host ([[Rotten Willow Tavern]])

===Distant Catacombs===
* Monastery of the Host Inextinguishable — '''Tier 4'''
* Chapel of the Holy Terror — '''Tier 5'''

====Rumors====
'''Sacred Ruins'''
{{quote|A few hours away from here lies an old monastery. Before the war, it was a sacred place that attracted pilgrims from all over Aldor. <br><br>It wasn't rare even for travelers from Nistra and Skadia to pay respects to the relics kept there. <br><br>But after the Crimson Plague wiped out its inhabitants, the monastery fell into desolation and began to crumble. It happened so quickly, too - the building was reduced to ruins in just half a year. <br><br>This can't be right, can it?‥}}

===Catacombs Modifiers===
* '''{{C|Unholy|Trapped Entrance}}''' — the entrance gate seals when you enter, re-open it by using the lever in one of the rooms inside the Dungeon.
{{quote|I've been told that the first few scouts who ventured there triggered a trap of some kind and never made it back. So keep that in mind.}}
* '''{{C|Unholy|Summoning Ritual}}''' — summoning circles [[File:Summoning Rune.png]] that spawn [[Blood Golem|Blood Golems]] scattered across dungeon, step on it to erase the ritual circle.
{{quote|The patrol didn't risk going past the entrance, but it was enough for them to notice some strange symbols painted in blood over the floor and the walls…}
* '''{{C|Unholy|Blood Hex}}''' — give blood hex condition (-13% [[Bleed Resistance]], -26% [[Healing Efficiency]]), can cause [[Bleeding]].
{{quote|Our scouts reported that the air there is stagnant, heavy, and reeks of stale blood. Taking in more than a few breaths somehow makes old wounds open anew…}}
* '''{{C|Unholy|Cannibalistic Frenzy}}''' — grants all enemies [[Cannibalistic Craze]].
{{quote|Everyone who dared delve into the catacombs claimed they were littered with gnawed bones. Human ones…}}
* '''{{C|Unholy|Rite of Ascension}}''' — grants enemies [[Ascension]]. To get rid of the effect, you need to clear the room with the ritual octagram and the six [[Enemies#Secret Cults (Proselytes)|Proselites]] inside. The growing whisper will indicate the proximity of the room.
{{quote|A few people claimed to hear eerie chants echoing from deep within the catacombs. Perhaps they imagined it, but I suggest you stay on your guard.}}

==The Cave==
{{quote|An intricate system of caves and underground passages — a common sight in Aldor, the realm surrounded by impenetrable mountains.}}

The '''Caves''' — optional locations that are something between Dungeons and [[Points of Interest]]. They are always represented by only one floor. The main [[Loot]] in them are [[Ore Vein|Ore Veins]] as well as [[Ingredients|rare mushrooms and herbs]]. Occasionally, mercenary will come across piles of bones and the remains of less fortunate adventurers, which often hold valuable items. The Сaves are not tied to one faction of [[Enemies]] and their inhabitants can be very different, sometimes in the tunnels can be found representatives of two different factions of enemies at the same time. However, [[Bat Swarm|Bat Swarms]] are spread almost everywhere.

Caves are divided into three types, each with their own visuals and enemy and loot content.

===Regular Caves===
'''Regular Caves''' are beast (from [[Wolf|Wolves]] to [[Young Troll|Young Trolls]]) lairs or bandit hideouts.

Flora: [[Silverleaf]], [[Spider Vine]], [[Pale Puffball]], [[Rotbloom]], [[Azurecap]].

===Mines===
'''Mines''' are shafts and adits abandoned due to war. Most often, they are inhabited by [[Enemies#Brigands|Brigands]], but inside mercenary can also meet various types of underground monstrosities, such as [[Crawler|Crawlers]]. In the mines can be found Campfires and [[Beverages#Water|Barrels of water]], as well as containers with [[Loot]]. [[Ore Vein|Ore Veins]] are common is the mines.

Flora: [[Spider Vine]], [[Pale Puffball]], [[Azurecap]].

===Overgrown Caves===
'''Overgrown Caves''' are ancient mossy tunnels in which can be found the ruins of Axonian burials. Their natural inhabitants are [[Enemies#The Hive|Rockeaters]].

Flora: [[Silverleaf]], [[Marble Truffle]], [[Pale Puffball]], [[Rotbloom]], [[Honey Hyssop]].

===List Of Caves===
* [[Smoky Tunnel]]
* [[Storm Hollow]]
* [[Rusty Mine]]
* [[Mossy Ledge]]
* [[Three Knives Hideout]]
* [[Raven Cleft]]
* [[Beast Burrow]]
* [[Olaf's Shaft]]

Situations

2026-04-11T21:14:30Z

Mindwitness: Added info about guard inspection chance increase to Reinforcements situatuon

Settlements' '''Situations''' are introduced in Rags to Riches update. Situations are timed events that affect the Settlement and its surroundings, creating new opportunities and challenges for the player.
[[File:Situations.png|alt=Settlements' Situations can be shown in Reputation tab|thumb|500x500px|Settlements' Situations can be shown in Reputation tab]]

__TOC__

Situations are categorized into 3 types: {{C|+|Positive}}, {{C|Orange|Neutral}}, and {{C|-|Negative}}. Positive Situations are centered around various boons. Neutral ones come with both beneficial and detrimental effects. And Negative Situations mostly harm the affected Settlement and can cause new {{C|-|Negative}} Economical Situations to appear. Each Situation comes with its own special effects like adding new [[NPCs]], altering some of the existing speech and dialogue lines and affecting prices. There are currently 12 Situations: 9 main ones and 3 Economical ones.

Completing Contracts in a given Settlement increases the chance for Positive and Neutral Situations to appear. Failing a Contract increases the chance for Negative Situations to appear. This also applies if the Contract gets completed or failed through the simulated completion of Contracts by other mercenaries.

* Positive and Neutral Situations last for a 7 days before potentially reappearing in another village.
* Negative Situations won’t go away until the player clears a corresponding [[Contract]], then the Negative Situation gets removed some time after completion. This also works if the Contract gets completed through the simulated completion of Contracts by other mercenaries.
