![]() ![]() Most else that is said and written of the place is fiction or conjecture, more likely to have sprouted from the svef-enhanced imaginations of bored and boasting mercenaries than from any seed of truth. ![]() The Endless Paths, as the old Glanfathans call them, cannot be walked by the living, but the storytellers say with certainty that many strong souls have found a permanent home beneath the grieving creator's estate. But the courses of Od Nua's madness run far below the surface, stretching forever deeper into wandering catacombs and bone-cramped oubliettes unseen by living eyes for centuries. In ages past, the towers rising from the gardens to pierce the canopy of the forest once marked the dominion of the castle's relentless, crazed builder: Od Nua. In the western reaches of the Dyrwood lies the Endless Paths, an ancient network of cobbled trails that wind through arches of dense overgrowth, twisting within the confines of a high castle wall as they make their way to the gates of iron-shuttered towers that jut forth from the interior. Because of this, it is wise for the player to intermittently leave and return to the Endless Paths as they gain power and experience over the course of the game. As the player explores the Endless Paths, the dungeon becomes progressively harder at a faster rate than the player can advance levels. Access to all but the topmost level of the Endless Paths is barred by a magic door until completion of the quest The Old Watcher.Īpart from a small part of the first level, the dungeon is entirely optional. In Pillars of Eternity the player comes across the Endless Paths relatively early in their adventure. There is a storyline associated with the Endless Paths of Od Nua, but it is separate from the main plot. Built under the orders of the mad Engwithan tyrant Od Nua, it is a cursed, abandoned place, the only Engwithan ruin the Glanfathan tribes refuse to defend. The Endless Paths of Od Nua is a 15 level mega-dungeon located beneath Caed Nua, in the western Dyrwood.
