Escape from Undeath: Mistlocke (EfU:M) is the third major chapter of a Neverwinter Nights persistent world that has been running since the autumn of 2005. By most standards, EfU:M is a relatively low-level, low-magic world, challenging players to think creatively and mechanically in order to succeed within the setting. EfU:M began as Escape from the Underdark (EfU) and then progressed to the second chapter, Escape from the Underdark: Archipelago (EfU:A).
EfU:M uses the Forgotten Realms campaign setting as the background for a non-canon location based in the Shining Sea. A series of islands covered in a mysterious mist is hidden in the sea and individuals are whisked from their respective homes to this island via an ancient and malfunctioning magic.
In this third chapter, adventurers huddle in a safe zone (a village called Mistlocke, isolated in a mist-shrouded forest), protected from a withering curse that devastates the land and its inhabitants. The curse is the product of an ancient lich freed at the end of the second chapter. The adventurers try to make their lives as best they can while some strike out from the safety of their confines to strike against the lich's forces.
The withering curse slowly affects any living creature not within the safe area and it is possible for player characters to succumb to it, becoming undead thralls of the lich, hence the title of the server, "Escape from Undeath".
In 2013, the server progressed to its fourth major chapter, "Escape from Uncertainty: Revelations". The setting takes place once more in the Underdark, after the world has been cast into a sunless apocalypse and ravaged by ilithid conquest.
