Coffers and Coffins is going live on April 12, 2022 at 12:00 p.m. PDT!
With time, we've discovered the truth about Castle Vacrul deep in the heart of Vetrovia. But something else much more sinister and frightening has also come to light. Whispers of undying witches, infamous vampires, and hordes of bloodthirsty minions plaguing the region have been heard by those brave enough to listen. If you dare, head back into Forlorn Gist to discover the perils and great rewards that await.
Vikana, an entrepreneur from Freeport, is attempting to set up her shop in Forlorn Gist, but is finding the competition in the village to be very cut-throat. She's not above doing what it takes to be a successful merchant. Are you above getting your hands dirty to help her?
