==Region Summary==
The '''Shadow-Cursed Lands''' is the main [[Act Two]] [[region]]. Encompassing [[Reithwin]] and its surroundings, the area is almost entirely shrouded in the namesake Shadow Curse which rapidly drains the vitality from affected creatures, transforming them into [[Shadow Creatures]] and [[Shadows]]. In the areas further from [[Moonrise Towers]] even mundane light (such as [[torch]]es or {{SAI|Light}}) can stave off its effects, but in the areas closer to the Towers only the effects of a [[Moonlight Lantern]] will provide sufficient protection. Additionally, some locations in the Lands such as [[Last Light Inn]] are protected from the Curse by other effects.
The Shadow-Cursed Lands is the main [[Chapter Two]] [[region]]. When you first enter you should cast [[Light]] or similar (or use a [[torch]]) to avoid taking damage. Whilst in the Shadow-Cursed Lands if a member of your party wanders outside the light the game will shift to Turn Based Mode to give them the opportunity to get back into the light. Failure to do so will lead to them suffering Necrotic Damage. Some areas of the Shadow-Cursed Lands (such as the [[Last Light Inn]]) have a protective shield around them so that you don't need a source of light whilst in these areas.
 
If a member of your party wanders into the Shadow Curse unprotected, game will automatically enter Turn Based Mode. Failure to do so will lead to them suffering Necrotic Damage.

The map view of the Shadow-Cursed Lands

The Shadow-Cursed Lands is the main Act Two region. Encompassing Reithwin and its surroundings, the area is almost entirely shrouded in the namesake Shadow Curse which rapidly drains the vitality from affected creatures, transforming them into Shadow Creatures and Shadows. In the areas further from Moonrise Towers even mundane light (such as torches or Light Light) can stave off its effects, but in the areas closer to the Towers only the effects of a Moonlight Lantern will provide sufficient protection. Additionally, some locations in the Lands such as Last Light Inn are protected from the Curse by other effects.

If a member of your party wanders into the Shadow Curse unprotected, game will automatically enter Turn Based Mode. Failure to do so will lead to them suffering Necrotic Damage.
