RavenIsle
A late-game island beyond the edge of the world. It has four regions, the game's own dungeons, gates that need keys, a raven keeper with a quest line, and a boss who holds the way home.
Beta. RavenIsle is still being tested on a live two-player server. Expect rough edges, and back up your world before you first step through. Bug reports are welcome.
Find a rare Raven stone in an early chest, build the Raven portal, and step through to Raven Isle: Jarl Hrafn's last hold, sealed by his undying Warden. Light the beacons, clear a dvergr mine, storm a charred fortress and brave a frozen hall to recover Hrafn's three heirlooms. Then climb to the summit and wake the Barrow Warden.
Features
- An island of its own, off the map. About 1.1 km across, in its own sea beyond the edge of the world. It has five areas:
- The Landing: meadows and the keeper's camp.
- Mistwood: dvergr ruins in the mist.
- The Ashfields: lava and charred ruins.
- Frostpeak: the frozen north.
- The summit: the Warden's barrow.
- Its own map. On the isle your map shows the isle, with its own fog of war and markers for the places you've found. At home your world map is untouched.
- The game's own places. Thirteen of the game's buildings and dungeons stand on the isle, each with its creatures and loot: an infested mine, a charred fortress, the frozen hall of Mörkhalla, a Morgen's pit, watchtowers, ruins and more.
- Gates and keys. Ridges divide the regions. The Ember gate and the Frost gate stay sealed until someone finds their key. Climbing around a gate doesn't help, because sealed regions burn or freeze anyone inside.
- Munin's tasks. Munin, Odin's raven, keeps the isle. Five tasks lead from lighting the beacons to the Warden's fall, plus a side quest for six ravens' hoards hidden in high places. Each task pays coins, and the last one also gives the Raven cloak.
- Harder the deeper you go. Creatures gain extra stars, health and damage in each region past the Landing.
- The Barrow Warden. A towering draugr lord with a boss health bar and 20,000 health. It raises its dead at two-thirds and one-third health.
- The nightmare rule. Die on the isle and you wake in your own bed: "It must have been a nightmare..." What you carried stays on the isle. The Raven portal takes you back for it.
- Optional one-way trip. When switched on, the isle's portal stays dark until the Warden falls. After that it works both ways for good.
- Shared progress. Lit beacons, found keys, opened gates and the Warden's fall count for everyone in the world. Each player collects their own rewards from Munin.
How to use
- Find a Raven stone. It turns up rarely (about 1 in 12) in Meadows and Black Forest chests, burial chambers and troll caves. Each of those chests gets one roll the first time it loads with the mod installed, so in an older world even chests you emptied long ago are worth checking again.
- Build the Raven portal. Hammer > Misc, next to a Workbench. Default cost: 1 Raven stone, 20 Fine wood, 10 Greydwarf eyes and 2 Surtling cores.
- Step through with your best gear and food. You arrive at the Raven stones at the Landing.
- Talk to Munin by the fire at the keeper's camp. The task tracker under the minimap shows what to do next.
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
E |
Talk to Munin, use the Raven portal, light a beacon (with wood), open a gate, read a lore stone, lay the heirlooms on the altar (the game's Use key) |
Console commands (the cheat ones need the game's cheats or Server devcommands):
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
ravenisle |
Shows the isle's progress: beacons, keys, heirlooms, the Warden, hoards and the current task |
ravenisle_give [stone, emberkey, frostkey, heirlooms, cloak] |
Cheat: gives you a Raven stone, or the named item |
ravenisle_goto [place] |
Cheat: takes you to the isle, or to a place on it (camp, mine, fortress, frosthall, altar, ember_gate, frost_gate) |
The quest, step by step (spoilers)
- Light the beacons. Feed wood to the three beacons: one on each hill of the Landing and one on the Mistwood shore. When all three burn, the isle's main places appear on your map.
- The mine under the mist. In the Infested Mine under Mistwood, the deepest chest holds the Ember key and Hrafn's Eye. Carrying the key unseals the Ember gate for everyone.
- Through the Ember gate. In the Ashfields, the Charred Fortress keeps the Frost key and Hrafn's Heart in one of its chests.
- The frozen hall. Past the Frost gate, the Frozen Hall (Mörkhalla) hides Hrafn's Tear. Its jötunn gate opens for you once the Frost gate is unsealed.
- The Barrow Warden. Climb the Warden's stair from Frostpeak to the summit and lay the three heirlooms on the barrow altar. Anyone can lay any of them, one at a time. The Warden wakes once all three are down. When it falls, the Raven stones at the Landing and on the summit carry you home.
Side quest: six ravens' hoards are hidden across the isle, one at the Landing, two in Mistwood and one each in the Ashfields, Frostpeak and on the summit. Open them all for Munin's own reward.
Lost an heirloom? Talk to Munin. His brothers bring back any heirloom that was found but isn't on the altar yet.

Multiplayer
- Everyone needs RavenIsle, including a dedicated server. Jotunn checks the version when a player joins and turns away a missing or mismatched mod.
- The host sets the rules. Every Server setting comes from the host or dedicated server.
- Progress is shared. Beacons, keys, gates, heirlooms on the altar, hoards and the Warden's fall are saved with the world and count for everyone. Rewards, the found-places list and the isle's fog of war are saved on each character.
- The isle is built by the host the first time anyone goes there, from the same terrain on every computer.
Compatibility
- Map-sharing mods. One Map To Rule Them All keeps sharing your world map while you're on the isle, and the isle's own map is never shared as world map.
- World generation mods that change the edge of the world or place the world far outside its normal size may clash with the isle, which lies about 14 km south of the world's centre.
- Teleport mods that move you between portals or to map pins can take you off the isle even while the trip is one way.
Uninstalling
The isle sinks back into the abyss. Anything you built or left there stays in the world save, out of reach, and returns if the mod is installed again. The Raven portal pieces and the isle's items no longer load. Your world map, the rest of the world and your characters are not touched.
