Players gain access to a new type of currency in the Fellhollow expansion: [[Dragonwilds:Soul Fragment]]s. This always drops from the undead monsters inside of Fellhollow and can be used to exchange vestiges from Death within the [[Dragonwilds:Forgotten Temple]]. Players will need 6,775 Soul Fragments to buy every item from the shop once, except for the [[Dragonwilds:Salve Crystal]], which can be bought repeatedly upon the completion of [[Dragonwilds:Seeking Salvation]].

==History==
Harold was one of [[Dragonwilds:Gielinor|Gielinor’s]] earliest inhabitants, a farmer and the first mortal to die upon the world. Following his death, [[Dragonwilds:Guthix]] appointed him as Gielinor’s Grim Reaper, entrusting him with the Scythe and robes that grant the power to sever a mortal soul’s connection to its body. As Death, he is accompanied by a skeletal hellhound named [[Dragonwilds:Muncher]]. During his long tenure as Grim Reaper, he formed a close association with the {{DW/RSL|Menaphite}} god [[Dragonwilds:Icthlarin]], who bears responsibility for guiding and safeguarding souls as they cross the {{DW/RSL|River Noumenon}}. In the [[Dragonwilds:Sixth Age]], Death arrives in Fellhollow, where he directs the adventurer(s) of [[Dragonwilds:Ashenfall]] to confront Imaru and her undead forces.

==Trivia==
* Death's appearance is entirely unique and different, compared to ''{{DW/RSL|RuneScape}}'' and ''{{DW/OSL|Old School RuneScape}}'', but still retaining some resemblance to the two games.
** The resemblances are his robes, having an hourglass symbol as a belt buckle, and his ribs showing, like ''RuneScape,'' his scythe and the shoulder pads, like ''Old School RuneScape''.
* Despite his appearance being different, the art banner from the [[RuneScape: Dragonwilds]] website shows him in his ''RuneScape'' appearance.
* Death's attitude here is a bit different from the two game counterparts. When you first meet him here, he makes jokes and puns to lighten up the encounter. While in both ''RuneScape'' and ''Old School RuneScape,'' he is straightforward and serious''.''
