Mortal Shell 2 Marrow Keep
Marrow Keep is Mortal Shell 2's hub. Merrick sells weapon maps there, the Tarforge upgrades weapons, and Open Beta notes already treated it as the return point.

Marrow Keep is the settlement you return to in Mortal Shell 2. Community achievement notes place the merchant Merrick there selling weapon location maps. The Tarforge is the upgrade bench, with a widely cited +16 cap before a late-game forge item, and Balance Patch 1 cut smelt costs by 75% Gloom.
Why the hub matters
Open Beta walkthroughs already routed players back through Marrow Keep after the first region. Retail still uses it as the Shellkeeper and vendor loop: Zhirelle for Shells, Merrick for maps and restocking items such as Mether’s Severance.
Treat map pins from Merrick as purchasable hints, not as a free overlay.
