“	This was once the magnificent city of Ridgeburg. A hundred years ago, the Duchess released the Mist amid the attack of the Abyss, repelling the demons but also turning the residents into the undead. Instead of grieving for their misfortune, the people still yearned for the beauty of life. They tenaciously guarded the city, protecting the glimmer of hope from being devoured by the mist of despair.	”
	—Official in-game description

“	Once Ridgeburg, the first barrier between the Empire and the Abyss. However, shrouded by the Mist, the city now silently speaks of its century-long solitude and desolation. It is now known as Necrokeep.	”
	—Necrokeep official website

Necrokeep, officially the Duchy of Ridgeburg or simply Ridgeburg, is a city currently ruled by Duchess Vexana, located on the northern Barren Lands. Once a prosperous fortress-city and a strategic location for the Moniyan Empire as a frontline of the oncoming attacks of the Abyss forces, Ridgeburg is now forgotten and isolated after the duchess released the Mist a century ago, that enveloped the land in order to protect the city from the forces of the Abyss, at the cost of the residents turning into undead.
