NPCs (2024)

NPCs are the various inhabitants of the Deepwoken world. While some serve functions such as being merchants or giving quests, some just exist to make the world feel more alive, as well as giving special titbits of information. Sometimes, having a higher Charisma or Intelligence stat will unlock special interactions with them.
