The atmosphere of Arendavan is deliberately unsettling, with the forest surrounding it often described as dark, overgrown, and potentially dangerous. Strange rituals and whispers of dark magic are often associated with the cult's presence, contributing to the village's eerie reputation. Exploration of Arendavan typically involves uncovering clues about the Absolute's plans, interacting with villagers who may be under duress or complicit, and potentially engaging in combat with cult members or other hostile entities that inhabit the area. The village serves as a key plot point, driving the player's understanding of the broader threats within the game's narrative.
