Crimsonheart Castle is an area in Tynerum, the third major dimension in the game.

This region can be accessed via the Maple Guide, and exiting will send players to Ellinia's Magic Library. It is divided into five sections: Hall of Storms, Hall of Magic, Hall of Gales, Hall of Gales, and Guardsman Crossway. Each section consists of two maps each, except for Guardsman Crossway which is a single map. The final boss for this area is Master Red Nirg, who is guarding the exit of the castle.

Prior to the Post-NEXT / Stargazer Update, this area was a theme dungeon where Grendel the Really Old asked you to investigate the region after receiving a call for help, and you would help the 12 kidnapped demon children escape so they wouldn't be sacrificed. Completing the questline would reward the Medal  Crimsonheart Savior and unlock daily quests which can be completed for EXP, requiring you to complete the minigames Ghost Sniper, Castle Climb, and Untrappable. As of the Post-NEXT / Stargazer Update, the questline has been removed from this area, and only the maps, mobs, and minigames remain.

Story

For information on the full story, visit this page. Note: The Crimsonheart Castle storyline was removed as of the Post-NEXT / Stargazer Update.

An Alliance member was called by Grendel the Really Old, who told them that he had received a distress call from a book inside the Grand Athenaeum, a compendium of all the knowledge in the universe. The Alliance member followed the distress call to Tynerum and helped several demon children escape from Crimsonheart Castle, where they had been brought in order to be sacrificed. During the mission, the Alliance member learned that Tynerum was currently embroiled in a terrible great war, with Tynerum having collapsed into chaos, though the cause of the great war remained unknown, even to the demons themselves.

Trivia

• This area reuses a lot of assets (maps, monsters, and a couple of NPCs) from the original version of Crimsonwood / Phantom Forest, an area in the GlobalMS-exclusive Masteria region.
  • KoreaMS and most other servers also borrowed the name, referring to Tynerum as "Masteria" and Crimsonheart Castle as "Crimsonwood Keep".
  • GlobalMS originally kept the name "Masteria" and "Crimsonwood Keep / Castle" for this area upon release, but in the following patch renamed both to "Tynerum" and "Crimsonheart Castle" respectively.
  • After the Glory Update, GlobalMS updated many of the assets for Masteria, leaving Tynerum to have the pre-Glory aesthetic.
• Formerly, the Tynerum Altar Party Quest was available here in all servers, but it was closed shortly after release in all servers except GlobalMS.
• When this area was initially added to the KMS test server, it was originally an area named Faded Citadel. Unlike Crimsonheart Castle, Faded Citadel was not in a separate dimension but rather a theme dungeon near El Nath that was accessible via Sharp Cliff 4 (similar to the Lion King's Castle). A few NPCs also existed in the data but were not present, and there were no quests available in the test server.
  • This area did not make it past the test server, eventually being replaced with Crimsonheart Castle.
• This area also received an expansion in ChinaMS, TaiwanMS, JapanMS, and GlobalMS called the Shadow Veil Forest, which was the location of Gollux. It became part of a larger continent named Dawnveil, which also included Commerci Republic and Arboren. However, the concept of Dawnveil was scrapped in 2016, isolating each region into their own separate continents.
  • JapanMS, ChinaMS, TaiwanMS, and GlobalMS eventually removed the Shadow Veil Forest, and GlobalMS moved Gollux to Masteria.
  • It is speculated that KoreaMS initially planned to add this expansion, similar to how it ported over Root Abyss from ChinaMS, but due to its poor reception KoreaMS rejected the expansion.
• When Crimsonheart Castle was first released in the Cygnus Returns / Cygnus Awakening Update, the Guardsman Crossway (consisting of Elite Scarlet Phoenix and Elite Azure Ocelot) was a Party Play Zone where players received 20% additional experience per party member. The monsters were Level 139 - 140 at the time (unchanged to this day). Each monster in the Guardsman Crossway had HP ranging from 9,000,000 (9 million) to 9,250,000 (9.25 million), and base EXP ranging from 15,195 to 15,550.
  • The monster stats were nerfed to have regular HP and EXP as of the Beyond / Override Update, and the Party Play feature was removed.
