Albero

Albero is a village located on the outskirts of Cvstodia. It is one of the last redoubts of safety, inhabited by the Kissers of Wounds. This brotherhood of healers aids the sick and dying that are at the mercy of the Miracle. It is also home to the secretive Order of the True Shrine, whose mission is dedicated to the proper burial of separated remains. Time in the outside lands passes differently, and the inhabitants of Albero have more immediate worries in their own community than when the sun over a distant land sets.

The area has the appearance of a medieval town, with many sick looking people sitting in the streets. As the player progresses through the game, more people and even domestic animals will be seen in the streets, in windows and at the roofs. The Penitent One can find Tirso on the second floor of the building, brother of the Kissers of Wounds. He will ask for ingredients for medicinal ointments and thus trigger the Quest: Healing Herbs.

In the church next door, which cannot yet be entered, The Penitent One meets Lvdovico, a member of the Order of the True Shrine. He will ask The Penitent One to bring remains of unburied corpses so that they may be given a proper burial, triggering The True Shrine quest.

There is a fountain next to the Prie Dieu altar that can be interacted with after obtaining either the Linen Cloth, Severed Hand or Hatched Egg of Deformity. Interacting with the fountain will transport The Penitent One to the Lake of Silent Pilgrims, a barren stretch of salt with bodies encased in salt to match. The Blessed Lord of Salty Shores resides here, and trading certain items with him will return Relics. Trading with him is required for the Quest: Egg of Deformity.

There is a Chapel of Travel and Mea Culpa Altar in this area.

In Stir of Dawn DLC, a dog may appear that the player can pet at the far right of the area.

There is no boss for this area.

Trivia

• "Albero[1]" is a Spanish word that makes reference to a kind of a sedimentary earth formed by an accumulation of detritic materials of marine origin. Also known as "calcarenita de los Alcores", it's a common earth in Andalusia (Spain), specially in Seville. "Albero" is also used to name the ochre colour of that earth, which dominates the landscape in the village of the game.
