The Keystone

Description[]

This keystone, created through a ritual, contains the essence of the artefacts that were used to create the slave bracelets of the Giant-kings.

It can be used to remove a slave bracelet from one who is exiled. This is an extremely powerful artefact and must be used with caution. Simply use the item to remove the bracelet.

WARNING: REMOVING THE BRACELET WILL END THE GAME AND DELETE YOUR CHARACTER!

Notes[]

If the Altar of Chaosmouth is not present (for example, via a glitch), this item is not able to be crafted.
Currently, using this item is more of a ceremonial purpose: players will not obtain anything by removing the bracelet.
The Keystone may be used anywhere on the Exiled Lands map.
- The Keystone cannot be used on the Isle of Siptah map.
The cutscene displays the Cursewall that surrounds the Exiled Lands, the player's hotbar and status effects.
In multi-player
- the cutscene will show static versions of other characters, who are also exiting the Exiled Lands, on the edge of the map.
- the edge of the map can be seen after the cutscene, often with a weapon or other character remaining; sometimes floating.
The Clan Leader notice will phase the player back into the game world, behind the village in the eastern part of the Desert at the edge of the map. The player is able to open the Clan settings in order to leave the clan.
Resetting your character removes your ownership of buildings and thralls.
- If you were in a clan and are invited back in, you recover your ownership, except for Thralls.^{[citation needed]}

Usage[]

When The Keystone is used, it triggers a notice:

Remove Bracelet?

Remove your bracelet and escape from the Exile Lands? Please note that doing so will
permanently delete your character and restart the game.

Yes / No

Selecting "Yes" will trigger a cutscene of the player walking out of the Desert between two totem poles. The distant desert hills become more apparent and the screen fades to black. The cutscene that appears when the player chooses to remove the bracelet is shown below.

If the player is a Clan Leader, a notice will appear:

Could not recreate character

You are the Clan Leader, you need to leave your clan first!

OK

When the cutscene ends, the player is taken to the Character creation screen.
