Non-Player Characters (NPCs) are a core element of gameplay in RuneHeim. NPCs are characters controlled by the game world rather than by players and serve as the primary interface between adventurers and Runeheim’s narrative, economy, and quests.
NPCs are found throughout towns, wilderness areas, and dungeons. Many NPCs act as quest givers, offering tasks that advance storylines, unlock new regions, or reward players with experience, equipment, and currency. These quests range from simple delivery jobs to complex, multi-stage adventures that shape the player’s progression.
Other NPCs function as traders, selling wares such as weapons, armor, crafting materials, and consumables. Some traders specialize in rare or region-specific items, encouraging exploration and travel. Certain NPCs may change their inventory or dialogue based on world events, player choices, or quest completion.
