Rhaverik¶
Rhaverik is a ruined town on the northwest banks of a lake in the North Heartwood. Its people were wiped out by a mining accident under Insohmic rule, as the Order attempted to mine for rehntite beneath the surface of the settlement.
Some villagers remain in an inn and trading post just outside the ruins, where a short puzzle leads to a Runic Catalyst.

Ruins¶
The ruins of Rhaverik are situated on the northwestern edge of the large lake in the North Heartwood, along the clearing that leads from Capital Valley to Gozak.
A small house in the south is home to one remaining Drehmari, as well as a chest with the Survivor's Account book.
To the north, there is a statue of Drehmal, complete with an accepted devotion offering similar to the others throughout the central regions.
Inn & Trading Post¶
To the northwest of the ruins is the Rhaverik Inn & Trading Post, home to an inn building and seven merchants. Each of them only has one trade, which ultimately converts 12 scales into a Runic Catalyst.
Trade Sequence
| Trade | Item | Lore Text |

| 6 - At the "Pumpkin Mogul" in the red/orange stall, trade your gold nugget for The Pumpking. | The Pumpking | Behold, the Pumpking! Greatest of all pumpkins! Blessed with a ghoulish grin and an illuminous aura! |
| 7 - At the "Runic Machinist" in the green and blue tent, exchange The Pumpking for a Runic Catalyst. |
Lore¶
Rhaverik was a prosperous Heartwood town in the Second and Third Avihms, although they were relatively exploitative of the land around them. During the reign of Insohm, the Order discovered a small deposit of impure rehntite in the mines beneath the town. Pushing the residents to mine it, the over-mining eventually caused a cave-in, draining part of the nearby lake into the mines, collapsing buildings on the surface, killing up to thirty villagers. After that point, most of the townspeople left for other settlements.
Extras¶
The "Ael Irien Dye" sold by one of the traders at the Trading Post seems to be an extremely niche reference to a possible alternative/original name for Virtuo, only seen in this item and the maximum level Sprout of Anguish relic.
