Outlaws, thieves, and mercenaries with questionable morals will soon have a new place to call home.
As part of Wartales’ upcoming free Community Update, we are introducing "The Lair": a new underground location dedicated to those willing to operate outside the law.
"The Lair" is accessible from the beginning of your adventure, provided your troop has accumulated enough Suspicion to earn an invitation.
Wherever your journey takes you, someone shady will always be nearby, ready to point you toward the closest entrance. After all, the criminal underworld is never too far away.
Once inside, your troop will gain access to services and opportunities unavailable to more respectable mercenaries.
You will be able to:
Reduce your troop’s Suspicion.
Sell stolen items.
Purchase weapons and armour intended for less-than-honourable fighters.
Accept contracts suited to criminal bands.
Rest and prepare your next unlawful operation.
The Lair is home to five essential characters.
Looking for work that respectable mercenaries would refuse?
The Contract Broker provides access to a dedicated quest board featuring opportunities designed for criminals, thieves, and other unsavoury individuals.
Here is a non-exhaustive list of the tasks that await you:
Catch and Deliver
Attack
Assassinate
The Black-Market Merchant will happily purchase your stolen goods, no questions asked.
They also offer access to specialised weapons and armour that cannot be found through traditional merchants.
When the guards are closing in and your troop has become a little too recognisable, this mysterious individual can help reduce your Suspicion.
Their methods may be questionable, but discretion is guaranteed.
Even criminals need somewhere to rest.
The Lair’s Tavern Keeper provides a safe place to recover, gather information, and prepare before returning to the road.
The Gatekeeper controls access to "The Lair", allowing your troop to enter and leave this hidden refuge.
They may not be the most welcoming person you meet, but they make sure "The Lair" remains concealed from unwanted visitors.
"The Lair" expands the possibilities available to criminal troops, giving players new ways to manage Suspicion, profit from stolen goods, and build a band equipped for life outside the law.
Whether crime is your troop’s primary occupation or simply a useful source of additional income, "The Lair" will provide the services you need to remain one step ahead of the authorities.
"The Lair" will be available as part of Wartales’ upcoming free Community Update.
