Knowledge Base

Knowledge is a resource more precious and rare than most. The Nyx Wiki serves as a library and encyclopedia to ideas, concepts and content found along the River Styx! Adding things to the Wiki is also a great way to earn some extra Mana.

In this here almanac, studious souls can learn about Spirit Stakes, Items, Adaptables, Levels, Gameplay elements and technical concepts. The Knowledge base also serves as a resource for blockchain and web development terminology.

Dear Soul,

in order to add to the library,
your Soul must be linked to the The River Styx.
