Helping you on your first steps towards your dream castle!

Historic
Blood Altar
Due to changes in the way V bosses are tracked, the Blood Altar was removed from V-Rising for the Gloomrot expansion.
Players are now able to track V blood using the main UI and do not need to come back to their castle anymore!
Due to player requests, the Blood Altar structure was reused as the Altar of Recollection for the 1.0 release,
