Everwhite Enclave

The Everwhite Enclave is the settlement anchoring the game's northern content. Its community card is a photo directory of NPC positions: a story quest NPC, the giver of the Find Missing Daughter quest, the giver of The Z Step quest, and the entrance to the Northern Library with its own NPC standing by the giant doors.

The Upgrade Shrine documentation deepens the picture considerably. Pratz, a Quincy staying in the Enclave, starts the questline for the shrine - after exhausting his dialogue about Lady Hikari, you pass through the giant doors behind him into the Northern Library, meet Rose in its rightmost back room, and are sent to take a Frostvein Crystal from Lord Nivis. The same source drops a piece of lore: Lady Hikari speaks of Nivis being from the Second Age, having strained relations with the Enclave.

The Upgrade Shrine that this chain unlocks grants two free levels in a single skill, once per character. Between the story NPC, three side questlines and the library doorway, the Enclave functions as the quest hub for the arctic leg of progression; its exact level range is not documented.
