City of the Red Crown

A range of tremendous mountains stretches across the horizon. A bright moon hangs overhead, silhouetting a single peak cleaved in two and an opulent palace suspended in the center of the rift. Below that castle, a city pours out from the gap; a cluttered, chaotic, squirming metropolis of uneven bricks and slanted rooftops, as though each and every building is gazing upward, seeking the palace for stability and order.

This is the Queen’s city; the seat of her eternal reign.

Bring Eternity to its End

City of the Red Crown is a Realm for Spencer Campbell's RUNE (GilaRPGs). It is the third and final part of the Queen of the Pass trilogy, preceded by Queen of the Pass Part I: Coral Rock and Queen of the Pass Part II: Basin of Defiance. This Realm can be played without having played the first two parts, but some features will be changed if you've gone through the previous chapters first.

You have arrived at the city of the Queen of the Pass, and it's time to make your final attack against her and end her reign. Will you be able to reach her castle and overcome her immortality?

City of the Red Crown contains:

• A brand new Realm for RUNE
• Strange and secret lore to uncover
• New gear to use in combat and take with you into other Realms
• New enemies to fight
• NPC allies that can battle alongside you
• An almighty Rune, if you can take it from the Queen.

NOTE: This is a "high-level" Realm, intended to be challenging for Engraved who have already explored several other Realms and have developed a more powerful collection of Runes and gear. It is not recommended to make this your first experience with RUNE (for that, try checking out Coral Rock!)
