We extend the warmest welcome as you arrive on our convivial island, whether by choice, accident, or invitation you don’t remember accepting.

Please familiarise yourself with the following:

- Curfew is at dusk.
- Do not feed the lighthouse keeper.
- Get your iron nails ready, and fill your pockets with salt. The full [protection charm collection](https://www.rathkill.net/talismans?ref=rathkill-island-news.ghost.io) exists for a reason.
- Leave offerings out to the creatures of the land. Especially the ones in the bogland. It is a hungry creature. It might just leave you alone.
- Never miss an update. Get every new post sent directly to your email inbox.

## Never miss an update. 

We're warning you.
