Every new character awakens in the Shrine of Death. The God of Death offers you two paths. The choice is final for that character: if you are unsure, choose Tell me more and he will explain.

Story Mode rewards
When you finish the Arsinoe introduction, you receive:
- the title Chosen of Death;
- the Lord of Death costume;
- your companion Dullahan.
They only exist in this mode. If you skip the introduction partway through, they are lost.
Can I change modes?
Not on the same character. You can create another character and choose the other path.
The full story, to read like a book, is in the Chronicles of Arsinoe.
