Greenvault

Elsewhere in the Codex

Un-teaching risk. The narrow rule from Story Bible section 2 applies all act: a Warden court seals a spell only after the player is caught casting a forbidden (Facet) spell on Evane people or inside an Evane town. Twinhold, Greenvault and Hushfold are Evane towns. The Shardfield, the Long Road's wild stretches and Lanternfall are not. Repel can never be sealed.

What happens: the drill-master teaches Tally (Wardens, mirrored Z) as a whole glyph on a drill stone, then runs the player through a spar against a drill golem. The boards carry Evane side jobs (Codex section 8): escort grain to Greenvault, find a missing Choir courier on the Long Road, a reward for "an unregistered caster seen on the Far Hand roofs" (Pell's copied glyphs, now loose in the city).

What happens: the caravan runs the pass in a gale. Glints ride the wind from the warp in the cliff and dive at the wagons: winged glints, hawk-sized and fast. In the air, ground-bound spells like Coil do half damage to them; Gale hits them full and knocks them down. Three waves come, the wagons move between them, and each wave adds a wagon to protect. The last wave is the Windglass Kite, a large glint with sail-like reflective wings. While airborne it only takes Gale, and a Gale hit grounds it; on the ground Repel staggers it and Coil hurts it. If a wagon is lost the caravan still gets through, but Dace pays less and Ness is hurt (Ness's glass-sickness hook for Greenvault, scene 6.2).

What happens: the unbinder breaks Warden seals for 200 copper, the second way back from un-teaching (Story Bible section 2). The player learns the price now, in case they need it later in this act. The healer teaches Table Mend, the strongest heal, to anyone who asks; Facets give it freely. The healer mentions the Tenders turning away the dying in Greenvault.

Greenvault and Hushfold open once their invitations arrive at the courting (invite.greenvault, invite.hushfold). Each is a short chapter of its own, playable any time before act2.done, and stays open after it for side content.

From Walkthrough: Act 2 › Chapter 6: Faction Visits (optional) › Greenvault: the terraces

Art and audio: overgrown terraces, the vine-roofed hall, violet glyph light. Bramble glint: a glint tangled in thorn and hedge, about 3 m. Greenvault theme: slow woodwinds, long phrases that never break.
