Description

Oath: Starkindred is one of the 16 obtainable Oaths in Deepwoken. It allows one to take advantage of the anomalies that appears on one's body after drinking the blood of a Celestial. It is a balanced Oath, having good options for both Combat and Agility, unlike Oaths like Dawnwalker and Jetstriker, which almost entirely focus on one.

“ The world around you shifts and bends, as if your skull was melting into a swirl of infinity. The world as you know it isn't the same. These Stars above us are more than constellations. You feel as though you can feel the entire world. A̸l̴l̴ ̴a̷t̶ ̴o̵n̴c̷e̸.̴ ̶E̵V̷E̵R̴Y̵W̸H̸E̵R̸E̴.̶ ”

― Drinking the Holy Ichor

The Starkindred Church is a malevolent cult that worships Celestials and believes that they are capable of "transcending" by consuming parts of them. This very Oath is a result of drinking the Holy Ichor, the blood of a Celestial, and cannibalizing several Starkindred. Drinking the Ichor Seems to give the consumer some form of higher awareness but leaves their body in constant agonizing pain. It is the Celestial equivalent of becoming a Deepwoken.

Obtainment

1. Have 40 Strength and grip any player. (Chime of Conflict does not count)
2. Talk to Samael, located in the Derelict Highchurch above the Voidzone in the Ancient Rotlands.
   1. Walk up to the stairs to the Songseeker Temple and take a left, you'll see a broken bridge. Jump over the bridge to get to the church. Or, if you have Union Hook, there are two hooks on the backside of the Church that lead directly to it.
   2. When inside, there is a trapdoor behind the podium. Go down the ladder and walk around the library interacting with a red book on a bookshelf; one of them will open a room.
3. Kill Iblis, The Fallen Angel, located above the Starfield Grove Voidzone in Starswept Valley. The angel will only be here if you have the quest active.
   1. If you lack the Union Hook, careful parkour on the right of the Starfield Grove (outside of it) can allow you to reach the higher parts of it. There is also a long, sloped rock that you can go up from the left of The Lordsgrove that leads you directly to the Voidzone.
4. Return to Samael to get the Oath.

Starkindred cannot be reobtained if you Oathbreak it.

• Minos, Sinner of Flame right next to the inn/guildhall at Summer Isle.
• Astaroth, Sinner of Wind, at Songseeker Wilds, at the twin derelict bastions.

You will get a Mantra for each kill, and a chest containing Songseeker loot.

The order of Mantras goes as follows: Ascension, Sinister Halo, Celestial Assault.

Alternatively you can use 10 knowledge to obtain all mantras and talents if you already fully progressed this on another file
