THE RESIDENCY
- ELITE
- THE RIFT
- PHASING
THE RESIDENCY is a named elite on THE RIFT, a place of entities.
It cannot be fought. Nothing touches it and it touches nothing — it comes to say its piece and then walks away and dissolves.
He did not retire, whatever the obituaries said. He took a residency, the acoustics between universes being unmatched, and he has no intention of being interrupted — nothing in the rift can lay a hand on him, and he is gone before the second verse.

The monster at its baseline, before a venue has placed it. What it really fields on each difficulty is under “Where you meet it”.

What to know

- APPARITIONCannot be hurt, deals no damage, counts toward nothing.
- THE ENTRANCECloses at 100/s until it has said its piece, then fights at its own pace.
- WHAT IT WAS CARRYINGNothing. It has no pockets, and never had wages — a kill pays in gear, not in coin.
- WHEN STRUCKIt bleeds. A blow that overwhelms it bursts it, and there is a face among what lands.
