The Madness Castle

Madness Castle

The castle Carl has just escaped, freeing him to address the grieving Li Na.

Story so far

In her situation report, Rosetta tells Tipid and Justice Light that Carl is free of the Madness castle and will likely address Li Na soon, since Li Na is in hysterics over her brother's death rather than assisting the NPCs as ordered.

Carl's escape is one of the few pieces of good news in an otherwise grim update, delivered in the same breath as Harpocrates turning back toward the tower and Yarilo moving again. For the moment, Rosetta says, there is nothing else they can do but stand by.

Role

The stronghold Carl escapes just as the war mage crisis breaks.
