Forsaken Altar

Altar of Decay

Overview

The Forsaken Altar is a building unlocked for missions on all Prestige difficulty levels. It enables Viceroys to purchase Stormforged Cornerstones, which include especially powerful versions of regular Cornerstones and some unique ones.

Usage

The Forsaken Altar can be found in the Essential Buildings tab, and once placed, cannot be destroyed. The altar may be used once in the Storm Season after you earn 3 Reputation points, and then once again after earning 6 and again after earning 9 Reputation points.

The UI indicates in red the Reputation milestones when you may earn another Stormforged Cornerstone.

When the priestess arrives during the Storm Season, you may choose one of 3 Stormforged Cornerstones. There is a price, and you may choose to pay with Meta Rewards and/or Villager lives. You may also choose not to purchase one of these Stormforged Cornerstones.
