This is the area we were given the smallest amount of insight into during the playtest, so this article will be updated as we progress through the Closed Network Test.
Roundtable Hold is where you'll queue for matchmaking, and this works in a fairly similar way to queueing for co-op in Elden Ring. The matchmaking system is back, along with password groups, so don't forget if you'd like to play with other members of the Roundtable, make sure one of your passwords is set to KNIGHTS.
Roundtable Hold is also the location of all shops and rogue-lite mechanics, such as where you will be able to spend your Murk, and change and equip Relics to each of your 8 Nightfarers. We don't yet know much about what you can spend Murk on, however I'm very excited to jump into the CNT and see what's on offer at the Murk shop. I'm hoping for upgrades and re-rolled attributes for your Relic, and, though this one is a long shot, cosmetics!
Another thing you can do in Roundtable hold is interact with all 8 classes. You will have full conversations, learn more about them, and from what I have heard, they will even have individual storylines. Just as with all FromSoftware titles, as you progress their quests, their dialogue will change accordingly, as you reveal more about the overarching story and lore of Nightreign.
There is also a bell you can interact with in Roundtable Hold, this is a very powerful feature which allows you to review all of the unique mechanics for each class. You will want to revisit this often as you are getting to grips with the game to learn more about each of the classes, and refresh your memory on how each of their unique abilities and attributes work.
Again, Roundtable Hold was the area the least accessible to us during our exclusive preview, so I'm sure it holds many more secrets that I'm currently not privy to..
