Wartales will soon offer a new place for characters who find the law more of a hindrance than a help. A free community update will add “The Lair,” a hidden underground hideout designed for bandits, thieves, and mercenaries with very loose morals.
“The Lair” will be a separate location related to the underworld of Wartales. The developers have not revealed all the details about its structure and functions, but it is clear that this new place is designed for those who like to solve problems away from the official authorities and are not too worried about methods.
criminal asylum
The lair is available from the beginning of the adventure if your party has accumulated enough suspicion to earn an invitation.
No matter where the road leads, there’s always a suspicious figure nearby, ready to point out the nearest entrance. After all, the underworld is never far away.
Once inside, your squad will have access to services and abilities not available to the more respected mercenaries.
You will be able to:
- Reduce team suspicion.
- Selling stolen items.
- Buy weapons and armor for warriors who are not the most honest.
- Contracts with criminal groups.
- Take a break and prepare for the next violation.

The lair is inhabited by five important characters.

The Lair will be part of an upcoming free Wartales community update.
