An integral part of Nightingale's gameplay is traveling across the Fae Realms and exploring each region. The Realm Cards allow you to do just that. You can craft a new procedurally generated map by combining two of these cards and using them on the Portal Machine console.

You can use three types of Realm cards to create each map, meaning you will always find yourself exploring different environments with various parameters, which in turn makes your journey as a Realmwalker more immersive. But keep in mind that you will be attacked by Bound once you try to open a portal.

Obtaining Realm Cards in Nightingale is also straightforward, as you will unlock them via the various quests or even craft them once you get the specific recipe from the Sites of Power. You will be able to design Nightingale's open-world environment to your liking using these Realm Cards.

Here is a list of all the Realm Cards in Nightingale that you can collect.

Biome

The basic layout for the Realm you will want to travel to. Each of these will have different enemies, materials, and challenges that you will have to face.

Major

These Realm Cards act as the primary parameter for the Realm you will want to travel to. You can add various NPC factions, enemy types, and points of interest. As explained earlier, you can select up to two Major Realm Cards while using a Portal Machine.

Minor

These are small tweaks to the environment that you can use for either farming enemies or various materials. Some even allow you to try out various playstyles by increasing your weapon damage or stealth attributes.
