Description | A prayer hall standing at the center of the holy city of Varnia. It is a place where high-ranking believers can freely engage in philosophical debate. They constantly explore doctrines that conflict with their religion. They treat those with insufficient faith rather strictly. |
Whitesand Retreat is the prayer hall that sits at the center of Varnia, the holy city of the northern Crimson Desert. Varnia is devoted to the worship of the desert god Atima rather than Solumen, and Whitesand Retreat is where its high-ranking believers gather to debate conflicting doctrines. This makes the retreat a place of worship and the practical seat of the city's religious authority.
A bell tower rises from the exterior wall of Whitesand Retreat, and ringing it is the objective of the Toll of Varnia quest. Rather than a traditional bell, the top of the tower holds a rotating lever that has to be engaged to sound the call to prayer across the city.
Varnia - the holy city that surrounds Whitesand Retreat.
Toll of Varnia - faction quest tied to ringing the bell.
Redwind Merchant Guild - moves Varnia's exotic goods outward.
Like every faction in Crimson Desert, this group sits inside the game's five-tier reputation system: War, Hostile, Neutral, Friendly, and Alliance. Most factions begin at Neutral when first encountered, and reputation shifts as the player completes faction quests, contracts, and related world content. Reaching Alliance unlocks three compounding benefits: allied troops that assist in combat inside the faction's territory, exclusive vendors carrying items not sold anywhere else, and restricted resource nodes such as mining deposits, ingredient patches, and hidden dungeons.
Crimson Desert tracks approximately 110 factions in total across the continent of Pywel, split across four classification types: Core, Hostile, Religious, and Other. Contribution XP from completing faction quests feeds into standing with the issuing faction and, in several regions, into a shared regional reputation such as Demenissian Contribution or Pailunese Contribution. Progress is tracked on the reputation panel in the player menu, and reaching Alliance with a faction typically unlocks a named reward set that can include armor, weapons, mounts, or cosmetics such as the Pirate King Hat earned through Vellua Fishermen's Guild content.
