Gyl
 |
Spoiler Warning: This article contains information normally only found in the course of advancing the main quest line. |
Gyl is a location in Lake Hinnom[1] with a small building containing a "recoming nook": a 
full-scale recompositer, a 
recoming reliquary and the 
vessel of the First Sip. The walls are constructed of 
gilded marble from the sultanate (second period)[2][3]
After the events of Tomb of the Eaters (quest), the player may choose to return to Qud from before the gate to Brightsheol, causing them to appear at this location with a new body. They are initially nude (except for cybernetics, fungal infections, and any cursed items), dehydrated and without inventory. The player can find the items and equipment from their previous body in the recoming reliquary.
Tips
 |
This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary. |
Recoming in Gyl can be dangerous as the player will appear with no items or equipment and hostile creatures may lurk outside the building.
- Equip yourself quickly but thoroughly before eliminating any threats.
- The recoming reliquary is extremely durable and unlikely to be destroyed in a fight.
- It is possible to be ambushed at Gyl if the player has high psychic glimmer. Beware of
spacetime vortices which might whisk your belongings across Qud. - It is possible to learn Gyl's location prior to recoming, either from Trash Divining or factions who share secrets about "oddities" during the water ritual.
- If Gyl is destroyed before Tomb of the Eaters (quest), the player can still recome, but will spawn in a random spot in the map.
- If the
amaranthine prism was equipped when the player left the thin world, it will be unequipped and placed in the recoming reliquary like other inventory items. This is the only known way of removing the prism once the player has committed to wearing it and left the effects of any ongoing precognition. If the player has not already triggered the angry response from highly entropic beings by removing the prism via precognition, then this event may occur when the player arrives in Gyl, creating a high risk of the recoming reliquary being cast into a spacetime vortex.
