Checklist scope This retains the Early Access Elixir Well, world Shroud Root, and Flame Shrine or Sanctum catalogue by regional landmark, alongside Early Access progression goals. 1.0 adds 12 Roots in Cinder’s Cradle and 6 in older areas; their locations are not yet verified for 1.0. It does not attempt to list every chest, cave, lore page, or minor point of interest. Sparks respawn, so checking a Flame location means the first visit is complete—not that the location stops being useful.
For the recommended dependency path, use the Quest and Progression Order . Exact regional landmarks are summarized in the Regions of Embervale .
