How KENAZ works
- Light is the goal. Step next to a dead torch and it catches; only when every flame in a hall burns does its gate open.
- The torch is your weapon. It sets on fire whatever it strikes. Sweep it through three foes, or throw it to light a far corner and fight in the dark until you call it back.
- The torch is your life. It burns down each turn, and relighting flames restores it. Let it die and Hel's cold bites.
Foes of the dark
While a hall is dark, graves glow red and open the next turn unless you bring light to them. Archers give themselves away with a faint glow before they shoot, shades live only where your light does not reach, and frost wights blow out the torches you lit. Nidhöggr waits halfway down, and a second guardian waits at the gate.
