Well, well. Here comes another newly arrived portal rat. Look at you, freshly withered and desperate. Careful, son, the beasts of the Lichess can smell your fear a mile off. But you've made it, you've come to Mistlocke. It's true this place is about as good as it gets on our Island home. There's guards at the wall and food to be had, and her withering sickness doesn't seem to get much worse when you're breathing our mists. It's a hard road to get here, but you've made it, so congratulations for that, I suppose. Maybe it was the Mist that guided you. Maybe it has some purpose for you. Maybe you've some fate or destiny beyond my understanding... I don't know, but you needn't look so happy just yet. Oh, you poor silly soul, you think your troubles are over…. they've only just begun.

Welcome to Escape From Undeath: Mistlocke. Your character's story begins as the victim of unexplained ancient portal magic that has plucked her from somewhere in the Forgotten Realms to the non-canon island of Ymph located in the Shrouded Archipelago. Not only is your character far from home and trapped in an incredibly dangerous island filled with all manner of peril, he is now cursed by the terrible Withering of the Lichess H'Bala; a malady so horrific as to slowly but inevitably turn your character into a creature of undeath if not properly treated.
You're advised there's only one truly safe place on the whole Island where you can gather the necessary knowledge and find allies that will help you master your destiny: you must seek the hidden village of MISTLOCKE.
The village of Mistlocke is located on the far eastern part of the Island of Ymph, hidden somewhere within the mysterious confines of the Forgotten Forest. It is a small but strange sort of place, united only by the desires of its peoples to survive. Players have unprecedented opportunities within the town: anything from running as a candidate in the Mayoral Elections, serving as a member of the town guard, becoming the Master Merchant of the Market Hall, working as a sought-after performer, becoming the town champion or simply being yet another idle adventurer swapping lies around the fire at the Mist's End.
