The Tavernkeep is a unique NPC vendor that accepts only Defender Medals as currency for most items, instead of coins. He appears initially as the reclining Unconscious Man, after the Eater of Worlds or Brain of Cthulhu are defeated in a world. Talking to him allows him to claim a House and respawn when killed.

Once the criteria is met, he may be found randomly throughout the map in any layers .

The Unconscious Man is not currently detected by the Lifeform Analyzer.

• "We should really do something about the Old One's Army. Ask me about the Eternia Crystal if you want to learn more." (Before Tier 1.)
• "Great job on fighting off the Old One's Army! But I'm sure we haven't seen the last of them, they didn't put up much of a fight this time." (After Tier 1.)
• "The Army of the Old One's keeps getting stronger, yet you keep pushing them back! But something tells me they aren't quite finished with us yet." (After Tier 2.)
• "You really kept the full force of the Old One's Army at bay? Maybe you should visit Etheria some time." (After Tier 3.)

When the player clicks Eternia Crystal:

• For starters, take a few of these Defender Medals, on the house! I've got some special defenses you can purchase, but only with Defender Medals! (The first time a character clicks Eternia Crystal. Gives 5 Defender Medals.)

All these quotes loop in order when the player clicks Eternia Crystal:

• "The first thing you need to know about are the special defensive artifacts I've got for sale, but only if you've got some Defender Medals!"
• "You can use these artifacts to create traps and defensive towers. Doing so Consumes Etherian mana, a special energy dropped only by members of the Old One's Army!"
• "Challenging the Old One's Army is rather simple. They are attracted to the power of Eternia Crystals, and that can be used to bait them out."
• "To place an Elder Crystal, you must obtain an Elder Crystal and a stand to put in. It just so happens, you can buy em from me!"
• "You'll want to place your Elder Crystal stand in a pretty open, flat area. Lots of walls and stuff might make it pretty difficult to protect!"
• "Once your stand is set up, just interact with it while holding an Elder Crystal, and prepare for a fight!"
• "Of course, you can't let the Old One's Army destroy the Elder Crystal! This will have catastrophic consequences for my home world of Etheria!"
• "You can place defenses at the cost of 10 Etherian mana. Once placed, the Elder Crystal will release some of this mana. Otherwise, you will need to defeat enemies to get more."
• "With the help of defenses, you will have to repel several waves of invaders who are attempting to destroy both you and the Elder Crystal!"
• "If you successfully repel the invasion, you'll be awarded with more Defender Medals, which you can bring to me to purchase more artifacts and some other special rewards!"
• "I've also heard rumors that the power of the artifacts themselves may be further unlocked if you defeat the Old One's Army. Perhaps you could even use them any time you wish!"
