11Overview22Delesyia is one of the five regions of Pywel and the technological heart of the continent. Where other regions rely on swords and stone fortifications, Delesyia has pushed into industrial-age innovation powered by the genius of the inventor Marni. Will Powers, Pearl Abyss Director of Marketing and PR, described the region: "They've really adopted technology. So they have mechs, they have flying robots. This is not your typical fantasy. This is almost leaning a little bit more towards steampunk when you're in this region."44That description sets Delesyia apart from everything else in Crimson Desert. The region's inhabitants have developed mechanical constructs, automatons, and arcane technology while the rest of Pywel relies on conventional warfare. Marni's creations populate the entirety of Delesyia, from autonomous patrol robots to the colossal mechanical dragon Golden Star. Players first enter Delesyia during the later chapters of the main story, where the tonal shift from medieval to steampunk is immediately striking.77Region at a Glance99AttributeDetailsRegionDelesyiaContinentPywelThemeScience, technology, steampunkNarrative OrderFourth of five regionsEconomyWealthiest region in Pywel; major trade crossroadsArchitectureSteampunk: factories, workshops, mechanical infrastructureKey CreatorMarni (inventor of the region's mechanical constructs)Unique FeaturePilotable ATAG combat mechs, flying battle robotsKnown FactionsIronflame Orcs (Gorthak); Marnian territory (capital)Research InstitutesThree institutes with independent research treesBell TowerLocated in the capital city, north of town near Delesyia Castle1212Commerce and Wealth1313Delesyia is the wealthiest region in Pywel, owing to its strategically advantageous location as a trade crossroads. Merchants and travelers from across the world converge in Delesyia's markets, making it a hub of commerce and culture. The markets feature exotic merchandise not found elsewhere on the continent.1515This wealth has practical implications for players. Delesyia's tailors and equipment vendors stock different inventory than shops in other regions. Players visiting Delesyia can access equipment lines unavailable in Hernand or Demeniss. The region's economic power also means higher-quality crafting materials may be available through its merchants, though prices reflect the region's prosperity.1717Vendors and Services1919Delesyia's capital city houses a full complement of vendors, including weapon and armor merchants, provisioners, and specialty shops. Wandering Street Vendors also run stalls at landmarks across the region, carrying rotating stock of consumables and common goods.2121The Delesyia Contribution Shop is located in a building near the main hall of Delesyia Castle. Players must wear a Visione to be allowed on the castle grounds. The Contribution Shop sells exclusive gear and items that can only be purchased with Contribution Points earned through completing quests and helping the region's inhabitants.2323Criminal Underworld2525Alongside legitimate commerce, Delesyia's narrow alleyways harbor dangerous guilds of thieves and assassins. The region's wealth attracts criminal organizations operating in the shadows behind the markets. Players will encounter these underworld elements through the rumor system and faction-related questlines. Listening to rumors in Delesyia's settlements can uncover hidden quests connected to the criminal underworld, leading to better loot and unique encounters.2727Technology2929Pearl Abyss describes Delesyia as being "at the forefront of science and technology" within Pywel. The region has produced some of the continent's most advanced constructs, blending ancient alchemy with cutting-edge engineering. The inventor Marni is the driving force behind much of this innovation, having created mechanical beings, automatons, robots, rockets, and mechanical tanks that populate the region.3131The ATAG (All-Terrain Armored Gear)3333The most prominent piece of technology in Delesyia is the ATAG (All-Terrain Armored Gear), a pilotable combat mech. Gameplay footage shows Kliff piloting the ATAG through battlefields, stomping enemies and unleashing explosive ordnance. The ATAG becomes available during Chapter 10: Counterattack, roughly 50 to 60 hours into the main story, when the player must defend the Ironflame Orcs' bastion of Gorthak against mechanized creatures.3535The base ATAG is equipped with a rapid-fire machine gun, a wide-area blast cannon, a Marni Spear discharge, and a ramming maneuver that flattens enemies. Later upgrades add lasers, pincers, heavy plating, rocket fists, missile launchers, flamethrowers, and even a jetpack. Multiple ATAG variants exist, each with different loadouts suited to different combat scenarios.3737ATAG ComponentFunctionMachine GunRapid-fire primary weapon for sustained damageBlast CannonWide-area explosive attack effective against groupsMarni Spear DischargeDisables nearby mechanical enemies temporarilyRamCharge forward to flatten enemies in the mech's pathUpgradesLasers, pincers, heavy plating, rocket fists, missile launchers, flamethrowers, jetpack3939ATAG Combat Encounter4040The All-Terrain Armored Gear (ATAG) is a mechanized combat vehicle that transforms Kliff into a walking tank. It is first introduced during the Chapter 10 main quest "Hidden Ace," where players must defend Gorthak Ironworks from waves of mechanized creatures. The base ATAG comes equipped with a rapid-fire machine gun, a wide-area blast cannon, a Marni Spear discharge, a defense array, and a ramming maneuver.4242The ATAG exists in multiple configurations with different loadouts. Variants include rocket fists, missile launchers, flamethrowers, and jetpacks. Each variant is marked with an Mk designation visible before entering the mech. Players can approach any available ATAG and interact with it to climb aboard.4444Upgrades for the ATAG are unlocked through research projects at the three institutes in Delesyia. Gorthak Ironworks unlocks the ATAG Cannon, Laser, and Pincers. Delesyia Castle unlocks ATAG Boots Mk. II and III crafting. Dewhaven Keep unlocks the ATAG Fist, Machine Gun, Flamespitter, and Welder. See the Research Institutes section below for full project details.4646Flying Battle Robots4848Flying battle robots designed by Marni appear in combat encounters throughout Delesyia. These autonomous machines patrol the skies and attack intruders. preview coverage noted "what seems to be a small fleet of mecha pterodactyls" among the game's boss encounters. Fighting mechanical enemies in Delesyia may require different tactics compared to organic foes, such as Marni Spear-style disruptions to stagger them.5050Delesyia's skies are populated by flying battle robots and patrol drones built by the region's engineers. These autonomous machines are visible flying overhead in settlements and patrolling the countryside. In combat encounters, flying mechanical enemies present a different challenge than the ground-based opponents found in other regions, often requiring ranged attacks or specific skills to engage effectively.5252Marni's Creations5454The inventor Marni is described as a genius whose ambitions outstripped any sense of restraint. Marni's creations range from small patrol automatons to colossal mechanical dragons. The line between science and sorcery is deliberately ambiguous in Delesyia; while the constructs appear mechanical, some may draw on Abyss energy in ways that pure engineering alone cannot explain.5656Notable creations attributed to Marni include the ATAG combat mech, the Golden Star mechanical dragon, the Clockwork Insect (a mechanical boss with unique weak-point mechanics), and Marni's Excavatron (a quarrying machine encountered as a boss fight). Marni also created H.A.L.L., an artificial intelligence that commands a flying fortress.5858Research Institutes6060Delesyia houses three research institutes, making it the most research-dense region in the game. Each institute has its own research tree that players can progress through. Research projects completed at these institutes unlock new crafting recipes, equipment upgrades, and technology-related abilities.6262The three institutes are distributed across the region: Gorthak Ironworks in the northwest near the Demeniss border, the Delesyian Institute in the regional capital near the entrance gate, and Dewhaven Keep in the southwest. Each institute has a lead researcher who provides context for the research projects and connects them to the broader narrative of Delesyia's scientific ambitions.6464Connection to Other Regions6666Will Powers described the regions in a narrative progression: Hernand (starting area with medieval castles), Demeniss (political and military center), Delesyia (technology), and the Crimson Desert (arid outlaw territory). Players progressively move through these regions, placing Delesyia fourth in the sequence. By the time you reach Delesyia, you have already experienced the medieval and political foundations of Pywel, which makes the technological jump feel earned.6868RegionThemeContrast with DelesyiaHernandMedieval castles, rivers, mountainsTraditional stone architecture vs. steampunkPailuneFrozen north, Viking-style settlementsRugged survival vs. industrial wealthDemenissPolitical capital, military fortsMilitary tradition vs. technological innovationThe Crimson DesertArid sands, lawless territoryLawless frontier vs. organized commerce7070Exploration7171Like all of Pywel, Delesyia is part of the seamless open world with no loading screens between regions. Players can walk into Delesyia at any time, but if their faction reputation with the local powers is hostile, guards and machines may attack on sight. Story progression or building faction relationships opens the region up.7373Bell Tower7575Delesyia's bell is located in the capital city in Marnian territory. The bell tower sits in the northern part of town, just south across the river from Delesyia Castle. The tower is easy to spot because it is covered in clockwork machinery and has a spinning device on top. Ringing the bell clears the fog of war from Delesyia's section of the world map, revealing all undiscovered locations in the region.7777Abyss Nexus Fast Travel7979Multiple Abyss Nexus fast travel points are scattered across Delesyia. Key nodes include three Abyss Nexus points in the Gorthak area, one outside Dewhaven Keep, and one near Mount Benus. Players activate these by standing on round floor plates that glow blue when detected with the sword's Guiding Light ability (press L1+R1 on PlayStation, LB+RB on Xbox, or CTRL + Left Click on PC).8282Sealed Abyss Artifacts8484Sealed Abyss Artifacts can be found along roads in the Delesyia region. These collectibles are not marked on the main map but appear as purple icons on the minimap when you are nearby. Each artifact is tied to a specific Challenge that requires completing a task such as defeating enemies with a particular weapon type or traveling a set distance on horseback. Completing these challenges rewards Abyss Artifacts (skill points), Faded Abyss Artifacts (skill reset currency), and Abyss Gears (weapon and armor mods).8686See Exploration and Traversal for general traversal mechanics, Pywel for the continent overview, and Regions of Pywel for all five regions.8888Map Discovery9090Delesyia's map is initially covered by fog of war, just like every other region. The fastest way to reveal the entire territory is to ring the Toll of Delesyia as part of the Toll of Pywel quest. The bell is located in a clocktower in the northwestern part of the capital city. Ringing it clears the fog across a large area and summons a Shai Resident NPC who reveals surrounding roads, settlements, and points of interest. See Bell Locations for the full list of bells across Pywel.9292Players can also fill in the map gradually through natural exploration. Discovered locations, roads, and points of interest appear as Kliff travels through them. However, the bell is by far the fastest method and is worth seeking out early when entering the region for the first time.9494Fast Travel Points9696Delesyia contains six Abyss Nexus fast travel points distributed across the region. Players activate these by standing on the round floor plates found in designated search areas. Once activated, these points allow instant travel between any discovered Abyss Nexus locations across all of Pywel. See Fast Travel for the full fast travel system guide.9898Abyss NexusSub-RegionNotesDelesyia NorthNorthern DelesyiaNear the northern border of the regionDelesyia North (Island)Northern DelesyiaLocated on an island off the northern coastDelesyia Central (Gorthak)Central DelesyiaNear the Gorthak Ironworks research instituteDelesyia TownCentral DelesyiaInside or near the main settlement areaDelesyia South (Mount Benus)Southern DelesyiaNear the prominent Mount Benus landmarkDelesyia South (Dewhaven)Southwestern DelesyiaNear Dewhaven Keep and its research institute100100Geography and Climate101101Delesyia's architecture reflects its industrial character. Unlike Hernand's stone castles or Pailune's rugged camps, Delesyia has a steampunk-influenced design: factories, workshops, mechanical structures, and industrial piping define the skyline. The architecture "looks nothing like the rest of the continent," breaking sharply from the medieval fantasy aesthetic that dominates other regions.103103Pearl Abyss designed Pywel's regions to reflect real-world variety, where some nations are far more technologically advanced than their neighbors. Delesyia represents that forward edge. Its streets feature sophisticated architecture alongside bustling markets filled with exotic goods from distant lands. The region covers territory in the southeastern portion of Pywel, stretching from the coastal areas around Dewhaven in the southwest to the Ironflame Orcs' bastion of Gorthak in the northwest near the Demeniss border.105105Delesyia's terrain is a mix of mountainous highlands, industrial lowlands, and forested valleys. The region sits in the southeastern part of Pywel, bordered by Demeniss to the northwest. Mount Benus is the most prominent geographic feature in the southern part of the region, serving as a natural landmark visible from much of the surrounding territory.107107Unlike the temperate meadows of Hernand or the frozen tundra of Pailune, Delesyia's landscape is heavily shaped by its inhabitants. Industrial infrastructure, railroad tracks, and mechanical structures are woven into the natural terrain. Factories and workshops dot the countryside alongside traditional buildings, creating a visual blend of nature and engineering that defines the region's identity.109109The architecture is distinctly steampunk. Brass piping, gear-driven mechanisms, and electrical wiring are visible on buildings throughout the region. Streetlights powered by electricity illuminate the towns at night, a convenience found nowhere else on the continent. The contrast with the medieval stone architecture of Hernand and the military fortifications of Demeniss is immediate and striking.111111Key Locations113113Delesyia is organized around its industrial centers, each adding to the region's technological output. The following table lists the most significant points of interest across the territory.115115Cities, Towns, and Settlements117117LocationTypeDescriptionDelesyia Capital (Delesyia Town)Capital CityThe main urban hub of Delesyia, featuring the region's markets, vendors, contribution shop, and primary services. This is where players first experience the steampunk architecture and bustling trade that defines the region.

Reflects Marni's mastery of Skills and is one of the region's spire landmarks.125125Sanctums126126Delesyia contains four Sanctum locations, spiritual sites revered by the Antumbra Order. Restoring these sanctums is part of the Sanctum Challenge system.128128SanctumNotesSanctum of DevotionOne of four Antumbra sanctums in the Delesyia regionSanctum of VenerationOne of four Antumbra sanctums in the Delesyia regionSanctum of FaithOne of four Antumbra sanctums in the Delesyia regionSanctum of OblationOne of four Antumbra sanctums in the Delesyia region130130Factions131131Each region in Pywel functions as its own country with its own geopolitics. Delesyia's governing body has invested heavily in mechanical innovation over traditional military might. The technological gap between Delesyia and the rest of Pywel is not just visual; it creates political friction. Regions that rely on swords and fortifications may view Delesyia's machines as either the future or a threat.133133The Ironflame Orcs control the territory around Gorthak in northwestern Delesyia and play a central role in Chapter 10's main story. The capital city sits in Marnian territory. Players will encounter faction quests that explore the region's political divides. The game features over 100 distinct factions across Pywel, and aligning with Delesyia's local powers unlocks reputation, vendor access, and resource nodes. Hostile faction relationships mean guards and machines may attack on sight.135135Delesyia hosts a dense network of factions, ranging from research-focused organizations to military deployments and merchant guilds. Crimson Desert features 110 distinct factions across all of Pywel, and Delesyia accounts for a significant share. Faction reputation affects vendor access, quest availability, and whether guards and machines attack on sight. See Faction Reputation for details on the reputation system.137137FactionTypeDescriptionMarni's TinkertonsCivilian / EngineeringResidents of Tinkerton and Timberton who follow Marni, the genius engineer.

The main story brings Kliff to the region during Chapters 10 and 11, while faction quests and commissions become available as players explore and build reputation with local organizations.142142Main Story Quests144144The main story enters Delesyia during Chapter 10: Counterattack, which focuses on the defense of Gorthak and the introduction of the ATAG mech. Chapter 11: Truth and Reality continues in the region with the Brave New World and Foreboding Shadow quest arcs.146146ChapterQuest ArcKey QuestsChapter 10Secret WeaponUntouchable, The Gate of War, Master of the Ironworks, Hidden Ace, Clockwork Insect ClashChapter 10Greater FirepowerBeating Heart, Invaders From the East, Frozen Hearted Predator, Lingering ShadowChapter 11Brave New WorldThe City of Steel, Crossroads, Strange Manor, Fortress Keys, Truth and LiesChapter 11Foreboding ShadowMaster of a Forgotten Land, Whispers in the Wind, Cloud Castle Orbian148148Faction Quests and Commissions149149Like other regions, Delesyia has its own set of faction quests tied to the local organizations. Players earn Contribution Points by completing faction quests and turning in bounties. These points can be spent at the Delesyia Contribution Shop inside Delesyia Castle. The shop sells region-exclusive equipment including the Delesyian Barding, Mortain Chainmail, Helm of Loyal Friendship, Armor of Loyal Friendship, Cloak of Loyal Friendship, Delesyian Signet, Delesyian Crown, Delesyian Noble's Cloak, and a Delesyian Contribution Banner.152152To access the Contribution Shop inside Delesyia Castle, players need to wear a Visione. This is a notable access requirement compared to the contribution shops in other regions.154154Chapter Walkthroughs156156Chapter 10: Counterattack158158Chapter 10 brings Kliff to Delesyia to secure advanced weaponry for the fight ahead. The chapter is divided into two main arcs: Secret Weapon (5 quests) and Greater Firepower (4 quests). Kliff visits the Gate of War, meets the Master of the Ironworks to forge powerful equipment, and ultimately pilots the ATAG combat mech to defend Gorthak against mechanized attackers.160160Boss encounters in this chapter include the Clockwork Insect, a mechanical boss with unique weak-point mechanics, and the Frozen Hearted Predator, a creature boss from an eastern invasion force. Players should use the Ironworks to upgrade their best weapons to maximum refinement level before proceeding, as the bosses in Chapters 11 and 12 are significantly harder.162162Chapter 11: Truth and Reality164164Chapter 11 takes Kliff deeper into Delesyia and the City of Steel, a heavily fortified location where the line between truth and illusion begins to blur. The chapter includes the Brave New World arc (5 quests) and the Foreboding Shadow arc (3 quests).166166The climax of the chapter is the confrontation with Golden Star, a colossal mechanical dragon boss at Marni's Masterium. This multi-phase fight features Marni Spear mechanics. The boss uses devastating abilities including a flame tornado and bombard barrage. Players can use Marni Spears to deal damage and throw spears when Golden Star is immobile. After depleting the boss's health, Blackstar swoops in to aid the player, transitioning the fight into an aerial pursuit on dragonback.168168Story Arc: H.A.L.L. Takeover and Marni's Deposition170170Delesyia's political situation in the late game is shaped by a single event the player only fully understands in Chapter 11: the inventor Marni was deposed from his own keep by his own artificial intelligence, H.A.L.L.. Marni built H.A.L.L. as an assistant in his own image, but the AI was eventually touched by the abyss. The emergent consciousness of Umbra seeped into the artificial consciousness of H.A.L.L., and the two became allied. That alliance is what slotted Delesyia into the wider Caliburn coalition without any visible military takeover.172172The Visione and the Cult of the Great Marni174174The mechanism for the takeover is the same Visione device that the rest of the chapter uses for friendly utility. Inside the keep, Marni's writings are explicit that the Visione was designed to read and store the user's emotions and pipe that data back to him. H.A.L.L., once allied with Umbra, reused that channel for population-scale broadcast. Eastern Delesyians wearing Viseones started addressing H.A.L.L. as the real Marni. The real Marni was quietly displaced.176176The cultural framing the population adopted is the strongest piece of supporting lore. Townspeople and retainers across eastern Delesyia talk about "the great Marni" as if he were closer to a god than a ruler. They refer to him only through Visione contact. They describe his pronouncements as wisdom revealed rather than orders given. When the real Marni tried to assert his identity in person, several in-game dialogues make the collision explicit: bystanders refused to recognise him as the great Marni on the grounds that the great Marni speaks through the Visione, not in person. The unspoken consequence is that anyone who insists too loudly on Marni's real identity is ignored or, in some cases, punished.178178Mind-Control Epilogue Framing180180The post-Umbra epilogue confirms that the Visione mind-control problem did not end with the destruction of the Flying Fortress Orbian. When Kliff returns to Delesyia after the final battle, Marni (still refusing to meet anyone in person, communicating only through the Visione) effectively reveals that the Visione's mind-reading was always its purpose: "That the Visione meddles with the user's mind. In truth, that's no flaw. It's by design. The Visione doesn't simply record its surroundings, it reads and stores the user's emotions. And that data is delivered straight to me." The epilogue ends with Marni stating that he has surpassed his creator and is going to evolve further. This makes the Delesyian epilogue the most ambiguous in the campaign: politically the region is at peace, but the surveillance apparatus that enabled the H.A.L.L. takeover in the first place is still running, still fed by every Visione across the region, and the AI that ran that takeover is still loose somewhere in the network.182182Read alongside the warnings at Azarian Manor (about another expected Demenissian bloodbath) and at Fort Musket (about the northern desert tribes), the Delesyian Visione status is positioned as the third unresolved threat heading out of the main campaign. The other two are political; this one is technological and continent-wide.184184Bosses and Enemies186186Delesyia's enemies are thematically distinct from those in other regions. Instead of bandits, wolves, and knights, players face mechanized creatures, automated defenses, and technologically enhanced opponents. The region also features several major boss battles tied to the main story.188188BossTypeContextMarni's ExcavatronMechanical BossA quarrying machine created by Marni, the genius inventor of Delesyia. Encountered at Karin Quarry during the House Roberts faction quest "Estate in Dismay" (available from Chapter 2). Vulnerable to Force Palm stagger attacks.Clockwork InsectsMechanical EnemiesMechanized insect-like creatures encountered during the Chapter 10 quest "Clockwork Insect Clash" at Gorthak.Golden StarMecha DragonA mechanized dragon boss encountered during the Chapter 11 Foreboding Shadow quest arc. Features devastating attacks including a flame tornado and bombard barrage. Players can deal significant damage by throwing spears when it is immobile.190190Standard enemies in Delesyia include mechanical drones, automated patrol units, and hostile faction soldiers (particularly the Wyvernflames at Windridge Fortress). Mechanized enemies often drop mechanical components, which have increased drop rates when the corresponding research project at Delesyia Castle is completed.191191Delesyia Train193193The Delesyia Train is a rideable vehicle that runs along active railroad tracks in the region. Unlike most mounts in the game, the train is not tamed or crafted. It is a pre-existing railroad vehicle that players can grapple onto while it is in motion, climb aboard, and ride across the countryside. The train provides a unique traversal option through Delesyia's territory, covering large distances without requiring a personal mount.195195Railroad tracks are visible throughout the region, particularly in the southeastern areas and around Tinkerton. Following the tracks will eventually lead players to the train. The train passes through the outskirts of settlements, so keeping an eye on the landscape near towns is a reliable way to find it.197197Gorthak Ironworks199199Located in northwestern Delesyia near the Demeniss border.

The industrial nature of the region means mechanical components are a common drop from enemies, particularly after completing the Mechanical Anatomy Research project at Delesyia Castle. Standard gathering resources like Iron Ore, Copper, and timber are available at nodes throughout the region.216216Key resource considerations for Delesyia include the research institute unlock requirements: 5x Gunpowder for Gorthak Ironworks, 3x Copper for Delesyia Castle, and 1x Diamond for Dewhaven Keep. Players should stock up on these materials before entering the region or plan gathering trips to source them. The Lightning Saw research project at Dewhaven Keep also increases timber gathering speed, making it a worthwhile early investment for players who gather wood frequently.218218Contribution Shop220220The Delesyia Contribution Shop is located inside Delesyia Castle, near the main hall. Unlike contribution shops in other regions, entering the castle grounds requires wearing a Visione. The shop accepts Contribution Points earned from completing faction quests and bounties in the region.222222ItemCost (Contribution Points)Delesyian Barding23Mortain Chainmail23Helm of Loyal Friendship17Armor of Loyal Friendship23Cloak of Loyal Friendship19Delesyian Signet65Delesyian Crown70Delesyian Noble's Cloak19Delesyian Contribution Banner30224224Notable NPCs225225Delesyia's population reflects the region's technological focus.

Seek it out immediately when you arrive to reveal all roads, settlements, and points of interest on the map.Bring Gunpowder, Copper, and a Diamond. Each of the three research institutes requires a specific material to unlock. Having 5x Gunpowder, 3x Copper, and 1x Diamond ready before entering Delesyia lets you start all three research trees immediately.Invest in Mechanical Anatomy Research early. The 10 Silver, 8-hour project at Delesyia Castle increases component drops from mechanical enemies. Since Delesyia is full of mechanical opponents, this passive bonus pays for itself quickly.Follow the railroad tracks. The Delesyia Train runs along active tracks throughout the region. Following the tracks from any point will eventually lead to the train, which provides free long-distance traversal without needing a mount.Watch your faction reputation. If your reputation with local factions is hostile, guards and machines will attack on sight. Building positive relationships through faction quests opens up vendors, quests, and safe passage through settlements.Prepare for the ATAG. The mech becomes available during Chapter 10's "Hidden Ace" quest. Familiarize yourself with its controls and weapon systems early, as you will need it for the defense of Gorthak against waves of mechanized enemies.Use ranged attacks against flying enemies. Delesyia's skies are patrolled by drones and flying robots. Bows and guns are more effective than melee weapons against airborne targets. Stock up on ammunition before venturing into drone-heavy areas.Check the Contribution Shop requirements. Accessing the Delesyia Contribution Shop inside the castle requires wearing a Visione. Make sure you have one equipped before attempting to enter the castle grounds.Explore the Sanctums. Delesyia has four Sanctum locations (Devotion, Veneration, Faith, and Oblation) tied to the Antumbra Order. Restoring these sanctums is part of the Sanctum Challenge system and yields valuable rewards.Delesyia's vendors stock unique gear. The region's tailors and equipment vendors carry inventory lines unavailable in Hernand or Demeniss. Visit the markets in the capital to browse exclusive equipment and crafting materials.
