11 Overview
22  
33 Navigating Silvernia's vertical, layered cityscape requires multiple traversal tools. The city's architecture stacks districts on top of each other, with upper-class neighborhoods above street level and shadowy wards below.

55 Silverium Pegasus
66  
77  
88 The signature mount is a mechanized horse called the Silverium Pegasus. It can gallop through streets, drift around corners, and fly through the air. Different horse variants exist with varying rarity levels and stats (speed, health, cooldown time). The mount can be summoned at any time during open-world exploration. The flying mount is one of the game's most visually striking traversal options.

1010 Grappling Hook
1111  
1212 A magical grappling hook that latches onto railings and surfaces. It is a zipline for fast horizontal and diagonal traversal between buildings and across districts. The grappling hook is essential for reaching clue locations that are only accessible from elevated positions.
1313  
1414 Ascender and Descent Devices
1515  
1616 Dedicated tools for vertical movement through the city's layered architecture. Ascenders carry players upward to higher districts; descent devices bring them down safely. These fill the role of elevators in the city's verticality-focused design.
1717  
1818 On-Foot Movement
1919  
2020 Standard movement includes running, sprinting, and climbing. The Detective is agile enough for parkour-style movement across rooftops and building facades.

2222 City Verticality
2323  
2424 Silvernia's architecture stacks districts vertically. The upper city contains opulent neighborhoods and corporate headquarters; the street level holds the festive cafes, shops, and bulletin boards used in Investigation; the lower wards run beneath through shadowed alleyways. Districts named in beta materials (Riverside Quarter, Felix Quarter on Morgue Street; Boutique Quarter on Four Crowns Street; South Church Quarter on Dayfair Way; see Silvernia) sit at different heights, making vertical traversal not optional but routine. Each traversal tool solves a specific transition problem.

2929 Investigation Use Cases
3030  
3131 Several Investigation clue locations are only reachable via grappling hook or ascender. Crime-scene examinations sometimes require approaching from a roof angle (using the grappling hook to position above) before descending into the scene. The Detective's parkour ability lets them clear small gaps without tool assistance, which matters during stealth approaches when summoning the Pegasus would alert guards.

3333 Mount Variants
3434  
3535 The Silverium Pegasus has multiple variants with different rarity tiers and stat profiles (speed, health, cooldown timing). See Silverium Pegasus for the full per-variant breakdown. The flying mode is the most visually striking traversal option and is the primary marketing showcase for Silver Palace's vertical exploration design.

3737 Combat Transitions
3838  
3939 Traversal tools double as combat positioning aids. The grappling hook can pull the Detective toward an enemy for a closing attack, the descent device can stage a vertical drop onto a target, and the Pegasus can be dismounted mid-charge for a momentum-carried opening strike. The full combat use of these transitions was not exhaustively documented in beta materials and is expected to expand in Round 2.
