The Writ of Refuge is an item granted by members of the Zaikhal Arcanum for performing certain tasks or retrieving and returning certain trophy items to them. These tasks are geared roughly toward the level of the purchaser of the home at each level. Arcanum Agents can be found in most cities and towns. Stop in and talk to one and he or she will tell you what items can be traded for writs. It is also possible to obtain writs through certain quests.

Notes

• During the Keep Your Enemies Closer event, player housing was first introduced, though it was not fully accessible or able to be purchased at the time.
• During the Dark Majesty event, settlements became fully functioning and required writs of refuge and various items to purchase them.
• During The Gathering Storm event, a once-per-character quest was introduced to gain a token which could be exchanged for a Writ of Refuge. An Arcanum Envoy also appeared that could accept the token in return for access to the Arcanum furniture shop. In addition, in an effort to help players locate settlements, settlement portals were added in various major cities around Dereth and no longer scattered across Dereth in various locales.
• During the Betrayal event, Residential Quarters (AKA Apartments) were introduced to meet the high demand for housing at that time.
