RavenIsle
Step beyond the edge of the world: a late-game island with four regions to fight through, a raven's quest line to follow and the Barrow Warden waiting at the summit.
At a glance
- A new island, off the map. About 1.1 km across in its own sea, with its own map and fog of war: green meadows, misty dvergr woods, burning ash fields and a frozen north.
- 13 of the game's own dungeons and buildings, with their creatures and loot: an infested mine, a charred fortress, the frozen hall of Mörkhalla and more.
- A quest line with a guide. Munin, Odin's raven, sets five tasks from lighting the beacons to the final fight, plus a hunt for six hidden hoards. Coins for every task and the Raven cloak at the end.
- Gates, keys and cursed ground. Two gates stay sealed until you find their keys. Climb around them and the curse burns or freezes you.
- Harder the deeper you go. Past the Landing, creatures gain up to two extra stars and up to 2.5 times their health.
- The Barrow Warden. A towering draugr lord with 20,000 health that raises its dead as it weakens. Beat it for a new Forsaken power, a trinket, a raven on your shoulder and rematches.
- Shared progress. Beacons, keys, gates and the Warden's fall count for everyone in the world.
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.
Needs Jotunn. Everyone on the server needs RavenIsle, the host included.
The story
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
The isle
- Five areas. The Landing (meadows and the keeper's camp), Mistwood (dvergr ruins in the mist), the Ashfields (charred ruins and burning lava), Frostpeak (the frozen north) and 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 have found. Your world map stays untouched.
- The game's own places. Thirteen of the game's buildings and dungeons: an infested mine, a charred fortress, Mörkhalla, a Morgen's pit, watchtowers, ruins and more.
Gates and the curse
- Ridges divide the regions. The Ember gate and the Frost gate stay sealed until someone finds their key.
- No shortcuts. Sealed regions burn or freeze anyone inside. The ravens' blue ward fires mark the ridge crests, and a warning shows when you start to climb one.
- Lava that burns. The Ashfields' lava burns like the Ashlands'. Heat resistance slows it; the roads stay clear.
Munin's tasks
Munin 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 (100 to 500), and the last one also gives the Raven cloak: fall like a feather, move a little faster, and heat and cold bite less. It never wears out.
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.
After the Warden falls
- Hrafn's watch: lay the Warden's skull on the barrow altar for a new Forsaken power. For 5 minutes ravens circle over you, enemies within 60 m show on your map, and the first blow that would kill you leaves you at 1 health.
- Hrafn's ravenstone: a trinket from Munin. When your adrenaline fills, it gives 100 health and 50 stamina at once, then 20 seconds of extra speed and slow falling.
- A raven on your shoulder while you wear the Raven cloak. Other players see it too.
- Ravens' fire: the isle's blue fire, yours to build. It never needs fuel.
- Rematches: an offering on the altar wakes the Warden for another fight and its loot.
Dying on the isle
Die on the isle and you wake in your own bed: "It must have been a nightmare..." What you carried stays on the isle, and the Raven portal takes you back for it. Beds can't be built on the isle until the Warden falls.
Optional one-way trip
The host can make the trip one way: the isle's portal stays dark until the Warden falls, then works both ways for good. It is off by default.
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, 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, skull, ravenstone] |
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. The task is done once both are out.
- Through the Ember gate. In the Ashfields, the Charred Fortress keeps the Frost key and Hrafn's Heart in one of its chests. Mind the lava on the way. The task is done once both are out.
- 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.
- After the Warden. Lay its skull on the barrow altar, then take Hrafn's watch there (use the altar again). Munin gives you Hrafn's ravenstone, and the ravens' blue fire appears in the Hammer's Furniture tab (needs a stonecutter). To fight the Warden again, hold the alternate place key (Shift) and use the altar with the offering in your bag (5 elite draugr trophies by default).
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. Each player collects their own rewards from Munin; rewards, found places and the isle's fog of war are saved on each character, separately for each world.
- 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 don't load without the mod. Your world map, the rest of the world and your characters are not touched.
