Duskhollow - Narration and Art Concepts

Slowly, the dark realm of Duskhollow spreads across more and more pages, and we thought this was the perfect moment to reveal our plans to you...After all, Halloween is the ideal time for things dark and dreadful. Duskhollow is a setting within the world of Deuslair, developed as part of our Dungeons & Lasers series. So, if your hearts fancy some dark fantasy, listen closely to the tale of a new adventure that will take you into a world of magic, deceit, and abominations, where death lurks around every corner and wails of despair fill the shadowy dungeons of the mighty lords of Duskhollow.

Dare to Discover the Atmosphere of Duskhollow

What do you think when you look at the first artworks from Duskhollow? Dark inhabitants, abominations, mutants, undead, and other grim creatures of the night. And that’s just a glimpse of what we’re preparing for you at the beginning of the new year. The full experience will be set in a forgotten place full of mysteries and abandoned ruins, dominated by a mysterious fortress that few dare to approach of their own will.
 

Where Does the Name Duskhollow Come From?

Duskhollow is a land hidden within the mysterious world of Deuslair, ruled by its own strange laws… yet not as distant as it may seem. It lies far from civilization, towns, and trade routes — and yet, in some inexplicable way, it feels strangely familiar. It’s a valley perpetually shrouded in mist, as heavy as the old tales warning travelers never to enter this place.

The Dark Heroes of Duskhollow

Now, let’s talk about the characters, because through them, too, you’ll step into this world of darkness and dungeons. If you enjoy a medieval atmosphere, you’ll find characters you’ll love, such as the half-elven innkeeper.
 

Half-Elf Innkeeper

She’s full of expression and natural charisma — essential traits for dealing daily with the aggressive, drunken thugs who visit her tavern. Her character is designed in meticulous detail: from centuries-old shoes and a corset that enhances her confident posture, to a bottle shaped like a skull. Everything has been carefully thought out, just like the design of a mysterious elven boy… but we won’t reveal too much about him just yet.

If, however, you need an extra thrill to fully immerse yourself, it probably won’t surprise you that we have some other nice characters to reveal — and we’re ready to do it right now!
 

Thalia Elf Wizardess

Our elven sorceress looks as if she’s carelessly juggling magical flames. What seems like harmless fun will certainly not end well for anyone foolish enough to stand in her way. The ease with which Thalia performs her magical gestures shouldn’t fool you!One look into her piercing eyes is enough to understand how formidable an opponent she truly is.
By the way, doesn’t she remind you of the cleric from Porthaven? Could it be that the cleric has an evil twin sister...?

Svarn the Bugbear Paladin

Imagine walking through a dark corridor when suddenly, in front of you, stands a massive Bugbear Orc, clad in armor and gripping a huge hammer in his fists. His stern, disdainful gaze and scarred face seem to say: “You either reach your goal over corpses, or you become one yourself.” Unless you’ve mastered a teleportation spell to escape instantly, the only thing you’ll have time to do before your death is to cross yourself quickly.

Lunatic Baba Yaga

If you think you’ve seen everything dark fantasy has to offer, you're wrong! The Lunatic Baba Yaga is proof of just how atmospheric the world of fantasy can be. Her wicked face, hair flowing in an unseen wind, tattered robes, and powerful staff... everything about her screams otherworldly. And the best part? She’s placed upon an extraordinary base, a magical skull wreathed in thick smoke. Sounds epic? Because it truly is.

We can't reveal all the secrets just yet, but we'll soon discover more characters from the Duskollow. There will also be mutants like the Hermit. So stay tuned!
