📋 About This Mod

Long ago, a Temple dedicated to Kyne has been errected in Eastmarch's volcanic tundra to help tending to the roots of the sacred tree. Now, it lies sunken beneath the ground, forgotten by everyone. Delve into its depths and brave the madness that has taken hold of it.

Features a not too-long dungeon utilizing the root dungeon kit with a unique twist, containing new enemies and rewards.

Note: The last zone, Roots of Madness, rearranges itself as you travel through it. Here are some advices and pointers for your adventure:

- Do not drop any items you wish to retrieve

- Do not magically teleport out of the dungeon

- Unless you have a way to teleport followers to you, keep an eye on them and make sure they are fairly close

- There usually is an audible cue when a change occurs, keep your ears peeled

- If there is no way forward, there might be a way backward

The Saints & Seducers and Rare Curios creations are not required to play this mod, a compatibility file has been provided.
