Run 1, Chapter I: Noatun, The City of Genesis

Noatun from the harbour to the bridge: the plaza, the sunken ruins, the first Gates of Hell visit, the Cascade Foregrounds and the church, with four Muspelheim portals and three hidden Verses.

Chapter I runs from the harbour of Noatun across a water plaza, down into ruins under the water, along a street to the Cascade Foregrounds, through a church and its courtyard and out past a canal. Panther Within is yours from the first step, and Witch Walk works on the gravity ring you reach partway through. Four Muspelheim portals and three hidden Verses sit off the path, and the first Gates of Hell portal is where you buy Crow Within. Three pickups here need moves you get later; the guide comes back for them after the story.
