The '''Shadow-Cursed Lands''' is the main [[Act Two]] [[region]]. Encompassing [[Reithwin Town]] 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 [[Shadow]]s.

In the areas further from [[Moonrise Towers]] even mundane light (such as [[torch]]es or {{SAI|Light}}) can stave off the effects of the shadow curse, but in the areas closer to the Towers only the effects of a {{RarityItem|Moonlantern}} 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, the game will automatically enter Turn Based Mode. The party member then has 1 turn to generate or relocate to a protective light source. Failure to do so will lead to them suffering Necrotic damage.
