The '''Sørmirbæren Graveyard''' is a location in the northern [[Black Sea]]

== Description ==
The Sørmirbæren Graveyard is immediately north of [[Boneyard]](G11) and consists of an altar room and a randomly generated tomb.

=== Altar Room ===
* The two north exits both lead to the Tomb
* There are three [[Sørmirbæren Öyetsppæter]], two [[Sørmirbæren Sppæter]], and one [[Sørmirbæren Skærder]]

=== The Tomb ===
* Cannot save while in the tomb
* The tomb is generated as you explore. (loading a save prior to exploration will cause a new tomb to form.)
** The basic shape of the tomb remains the same but the burial mound symbols and the location of the [[Bone Crank]] change.
** The Bone Crank can be found in any room on the walls, floor, or even already lodged into a hoist
* Staying too long in the tomb will cause an untargetable Sørmirbæren [[Doppelganger]] to appear.
** the Doppelganger disappears after about 5 turns but another will spawn very shortly after
* None of the hoists or bodies can be interacted with in combat

Yngwar is a [[Sørmirbæren]] warrior living in isolation from the rest of his clan. In combat he uses sharpened spear coated in [[Heartbreak Poison]] and [[Throwing Net]]s.

Yngwar is a "boss" character, and on DOMINATING difficulty will appear with 400% of his regular health.

== Background ==
Yngwar comes from the Sørmirbæren village and is well versed in their culture. He is a warrior and traveler who has half of his skin turned to scales, implying that he was outcast due to failing one of their rituals. He appears to be familiar with [[Sjörsr]], who the [[Ferryman]] killed using [[The Shard]]. While seemingly shunned, he still holds the clan's values, and sees the warrior's way of life as the only proper one, though he questions his faith in the spirit seekers.

== Location ==
Yngwar can be found at the [[Black Sea Grotto]], past the [[Black Sea Rapids]] in the northwestern corner of the sea. More specifically, at coordinates [[A10]].

== Player Interactions ==
Yngwar is one of the few Serpentines who the player can speak to without fighting, granted that they behave well enough not to provoke him. They can come to an agreeable conversation by having a spear duel with enough melee skill, knowledge of Sørmirbæren culture (can be obtained by asking [[Ferryman]] about the natives), or assuming a battle stance and successfully intimidating him (100 effective). Afterwards you can attempt to converse by drawing pictures in the sand, and using various phrases and gestures. If you can persuade him through correct dialogue options with enough [[Intelligence]] (9 effective intelligence needed), he can draw the [[Rune Sketch]] which marks Sjörsr's grave in the [[Sørmirbæren Graveyard]]. He may also teach the player about their rituals and way of life. If at any point during the conversation Yngwar is provoked, he will threaten the player and attack if the player doesn't leave. You can however offer him some food to appease him to be able to resume the conversation. If the player wears [[Rathound Regalia]], Yngwar will demand it as a tribute instead.

== West Wing ==
Upper west wing houses the library. Most of the west wing is abandoned.

Lower east wing houses the refectory and entrance to utility section.

== Eidein's library ==
The Institute's library dates back to a century, back when the Institute still was a Biocorp University. It has been expanded considerably since. [[Curator Nenna]] can be met in the library.

=== Library Terminal ===
The Library Terminal contains The Original Report, Important Dates (an overview of the Institute's notable events), Investigative Papers and Digital Literature. The Investigative Papers section contains [[Super Steel Refining Data]] and [[Blueprint: Regenerative Mixture]], but to acquire them the player has to either have enough [[Hacking]] or [[Persuasion|persuade]] [[Curator Nenna]] to grant access.
The Digital Literature section of the Library Terminal contains references to literary works and movies.

=== Refectory ===
The refectory is the Institute's canteen and kitchen.
* Linked to the '''Main Hall'''
* [[Theodore]] sells food here (but only from the other side of the counter)
* Most Tchortists carry an [[Eye of Tchort (oddity)]], 3 XP

=== Utility section 1 ===
* Linked to the '''Refectory''' northern passage
* The south room:
** Has shelves containing an [[Old Diver's Helmet]] oddity, 2 XP
** Has a locker containing a [[Biocorp University Emblem]] oddity, 1 XP

=== Utility section 2 ===
The utility section is accessible from refectory kitchen, and with an elevator in [[Eidein]]'s office.
* Linked to the '''Refectory''' kitchen
* The SE room:
** Has a file cabinet containing a [[Security Room Keycard (Institute of Tchort)]]
** Has a file cabinet containing a [[Ruined Textbook]] oddity, 1 XP
** Has a ventilation shaft leading to the NE room
* The NE room:
** Has a desk containing a [[Security Gate Keycard (Institute of Tchort)]] and an [[Encyclopedia Fragment]] oddity, 1 XP
** Has a ventilation shaft leading to the SE room

A part of the utility section is forbidden even to most Tchortists. It is possible to sneak in using the hidden ventilation shaft in west wing.

Genetic experiments are conducted in this forbidden laboratory, where some of the resulting creatures (called "rejects" by Tchortists) are detained. They can be freed by hacking the computer in the cells corridor (50 hacking skill needed), or by finding a key card on one of the scientists in another room.

Once the doors are open, rejects need to be directed to the hidden ventilation shaft by talking to the elder, named [[Old Reject|Sharp]], and also mentioning the hole in the west wing as a possible escape route. Once the rejects are moving, they will be attacked on sight by any Tchortist guard, which prevents there escape.

It is possible to allow them to escape without revealing yourself to the Tchortists by creating a diversion. West of the cells is another ventilation shaft that leads north to another location in the same zone. Throwing a grenade there, or using a TNT charge, then sprinting back through the shaft to signal the rejects to move should give them just enough time to escape while the guards are investigating the explosion noise. On the other hand, attacking the guards, even stealthily, will turn all Tchortists hostile, since this is a controlled area. There is no quest associated to the rejects, and once they escaped they can't be seen ever again.

== Quests ==
* [[Return the Reaching Man]] and [[Praepostor interview]]: Required to gain entrance to the Institute
* [[Strange tremors]]: Eventually strange tremors start shaking the Institute

While at the Institute, you may work for both the preservation and investigation departments.

=== Preservation ===
[[Mediant Samuel]]'s jobs
* [[Secure Utility Station 7]]
* [[Find missing combat unit in west wing]]
* [[Track down Rassophore Nevil]]

Completing all of Mediant Samuel's tasks allows you to join the preservation section as a Rassophore.
Joining the preservation section will grant both [[Tchortist Vathosphore Armor]] and [[Tchortist Rassophore Armor]]

=== Investigation ===
Physics lab ([[Principal Investigator Schteff]])
* [[Find Rassophore Pavel]]
* [[Deploy first T-ray emitter]]
* [[Deploy second T-ray emitter]]

Chemistry lab ([[Principal Investigator Georgis]])
* [[Field test XAL-001]]
* [[HRO protein research]]
* [[Drink sampling]]

Genetics lab ([[Principal Investigator Rista]])
* [[Pacify Psycho]]
* [[Disease-resistant DNA]]
* [[Forsaken Island Behemoth]]

'''Psi Crab''' is a critter in [[Underrail: Expedition]] expansion.

== Description ==
Possessing a purple carapace and two small, coiled antennae, Psi Crabs are distinct from other crabs not just because of their appearance, but also because they can use psionics, hence the name.

== Fighting tactics ==
Tougher than even [[Colossal Crab]]s, Psi crabs prefer to hang back and use [[Electrokinesis]] while other crabs close in. This can be countered with [[Bullhead]] or an [[Energy Shield Emitter]], but it goes without saying that killing any psi crabs first should be your first priority. They will only resort to melee attacks if they are [[Inhibited]].

The '''Institute of Tchort''' is a location in [[Upper Underrail]], accessible via the orange metro line's University station.

== Description ==
{{expand section}}
The institute used to be a Biocorp University, but it has been expanded and renovated considerably in the past decade of Tchortist occupation.

== Courtyard ==
At the courtyard, there's a very diverse crowd of zoners seeking admission into the Institute.

== West Wing ==
Upper west wing houses the library. Most of the west wing is abandoned.

Lower east wing houses the refectory and entrance to utility section.

== Eidein's library ==
The Institute's library dates back to a century, back when the Institute still was a Biocorp University. It has been expanded considerably since. [[Curator Nenna]] can be met in the library.

=== Library Terminal ===
The Library Terminal contains The Original Report, Important Dates (an overview of the Institute's notable events), Investigative Papers and Digital Literature. The Investigative Papers section contains [[Super Steel Refining Data]] and [[Blueprint: Regenerative Mixture]], but to acquire them the player has to either have enough [[Hacking]] or [[Persuasion|persuade]] [[Curator Nenna]] to grant access.
The Digital Literature section of the Library Terminal contains references to literary works and movies.

=== Refectory ===
The refectory is the Institute's canteen and kitchen.
* Linked to the '''Main Hall'''
* [[Theodore]] sells food here (but only from the other side of the counter)
* Most Tchortists carry an [[Eye of Tchort (oddity)]], 3 XP

=== Utility section 1 ===
* Linked to the '''Refectory''' northern passage
* The south room:
** Has shelves containing an [[Old Diver's Helmet]] oddity, 2 XP
** Has a locker containing a [[Biocorp University Emblem]] oddity, 1 XP

=== Utility section 2 ===
The utility section is accessible from refectory kitchen, and with an elevator in [[Eidein]]'s office.
* Linked to the '''Refectory''' kitchen
* The SE room:
** Has a file cabinet containing a [[Security Room Keycard (Institute of Tchort)]]
** Has a file cabinet containing a [[Ruined Textbook]] oddity, 1 XP
** Has a ventilation shaft leading to the NE room
* The NE room:
** Has a desk containing a [[Security Gate Keycard (Institute of Tchort)]] and an [[Encyclopedia Fragment]] oddity, 1 XP
** Has a ventilation shaft leading to the SE room

A part of the utility section is forbidden even to most Tchortists. It is possible to sneak in using the hidden ventilation shaft in west wing.

Genetic experiments are conducted in this forbidden laboratory, where some of the resulting creatures (called "rejects" by Tchortists) are detained. They can be freed by hacking the computer in the cells corridor (50 hacking skill needed), or by finding a key card on one of the scientists in another room.

Once the doors are open, rejects need to be directed to the hidden ventilation shaft by talking to the elder, named [[Old Reject|Sharp]], and also mentioning the hole in the west wing as a possible escape route. Once the rejects are moving, they will be attacked on sight by any Tchortist guard, which prevents there escape.

It is possible to allow them to escape without revealing yourself to the Tchortists by creating a diversion. West of the cells is another ventilation shaft that leads north to another location in the same zone. Throwing a grenade there, or using a TNT charge, then sprinting back through the shaft to signal the rejects to move should give them just enough time to escape while the guards are investigating the explosion noise. On the other hand, attacking the guards, even stealthily, will turn all Tchortists hostile, since this is a controlled area. There is no quest associated to the rejects, and once they escaped they can't be seen ever again.

== Quests ==
* [[Return the Reaching Man]] and [[Praepostor interview]]: Required to gain entrance to the Institute
* [[Strange tremors]]: Eventually strange tremors start shaking the Institute

While at the Institute, you may work for both the preservation and investigation departments.

=== Preservation ===
[[Mediant Samuel]]'s jobs
* [[Secure Utility Station 7]]
* [[Find missing combat unit in west wing]]
* [[Track down Rassophore Nevil]]

Completing all of Mediant Samuel's tasks allows you to join the preservation section as a Rassophore.

=== Investigation ===
Physics lab ([[Principal Investigator Schteff]])
* [[Find Rassophore Pavel]]
* [[Deploy first T-ray emitter]]
* [[Deploy second T-ray emitter]]

Chemistry lab ([[Principal Investigator Georgis]])
* [[Field test XAL-001]]
* [[HRO protein research]]
* [[Drink sampling]]

Genetics lab ([[Principal Investigator Rista]])
* [[Pacify Psycho]]
* [[Disease-resistant DNA]]
* [[Forsaken Island Behemoth]]

Completing five tasks for the investigation section allows you to join the investigation section.

Strange tremors

Pbsim: typo

{{Quest Infobox
| name = Strange tremors
| type = side

| location = [[Institute of Tchort]]
| givenby = Start of the tremors
| rewards = 3000+3000 classic XP / 1+2 oddity XP
| related =
| previous = [[Praepostor interview]]
| next = [[Destroy Tchort]]
}}

At some point during your stay in the Institute, strange tremors begin shaking it...

== Objectives ==
* Strange tremors have begun shaking the Institute of Tchort. Maybe you should investigate the cause.
* Find out why the Faceless have appeared in the west wing.
* Escape Institute of Tchort before the Faceless overrun it!

== Walkthrough ==
Either complete all the jobs [[Mediant Samuel]] has for you or complete enough jobs for the Investigation section. You will be given an opportunity to talk with [[Eidein]] and join the section you worked for.

When talking to Eidein about joining either Preservation or Investigation, the tremors will begin and he sends you to investigate. Physics department can inform you about the source of the tremors - somewhere in the west wing.

Inside west wing, head go west then south until you come across a faceless tunneler squad. If you saved the [[Injured Faceless]] in Core City, you will meet him here and he will give you a warning about the impending faceless invasion. If not, you'll have to either sneak or fight your way past the group, into the tunnel where they came from and peek at the faceless invasion force.

After you've seen the large faceless invasion group, return to Eidein. Inform him of the faceless group (1 oddity XP) and about the invasion force (2 oddity XP). Afterwards, you are to follow Eidein to the elevator north of his office.

The tremors and subsequent faceless invasion can also be triggered in a couple of other ways, but these stop you from finishing this quest for the Tchortists:
* Attack any of the tchortists inside the Institute, turning the entire Institute hostile. This will start the tremors and the invasion starts as soon as you make your way to the cargo elevator.
* Find your way to a cargo elevator at the east end of the utility section, below Eidein's office. Either hack the elevator controls (120 hacking needed) or pickpocket [[Elevator Key Card (Institute)|Elevator Key Card]] from Eidein (95 effective pickpocket is enough).

== Point Of No Return ==
It is highly recommended that you bring all of the weapons, ammo, gear, medicine and whatever else you plan to bring with you before you speak with Eidein or do anything to trigger the faceless invasion, as you will soon find yourself in the [[Deep Caverns]] and will be unable to leave until your [[Destroy Tchort|business there has been concluded]].
