THE OUTDOORS

Shops Merchant Camp: Food, tools, buys stuff

• Giant lizards appear from time to time in the southern half.
• The Empire raiding party in the northeast is not too tough to beat.
• The spectes and fetid zombies in the southwest hidden passage are another matter. Make sure you are very strong before triggering these encounters.
• The wishing well still does nothing but take your money.
• There is a party of merchants that wanders the roads of the southern half. They have some Drakeskin armor if you need it.
• There is a group of soldiers inside the outer Castle perimeter that you can wrestle with for a Mage's Bracelet. You need to have one fighter with strength of 12 or higher to win.

THE CASTLE

Quests: Visit Harston - 20 xp and 2 rep Find Empire Records - 5 xp and 20c for each set Shops Kristen: Priest Spells, Healing

• Lorraine wanders near the front gate. She is a mapmaker and will give you a quest to visit Harston, worth 20 xp and 2 rep upon your return.
• Kristen can sell you some higher level Priest spells as well as healing.
• Talk to Radner, the librarian. She'll give you the empire records quest. This is a worthwhile quest, as for each set of records you bring in, you get 5 xp and 20c. There are a lot of records out there as well, and this quest never ends.
• Radner is also the person you need to see to get higher clearance. You need to do missions for mayors and fort commanders to improve your reputation. Your reputation has to be at least 32 to get Magi clearance and 50 to get Royal clearance.
• You can steal some really good stuff in the barracks supply room by moving the crates from the room with the guard to the other locked room and closing the door. You can't get the halberd as there is now way to get it unobserved.
• Levitt is an Empire prisoner who can give you information about the Empire fort west of Fort Remote. If you press him, he will also tell about the secret outpost in the Steam Cavern.
• Once you have Magi Clearance, go up to the mage chambers and talk with Curtin to get the portal code to The Castle. She will also tell you where to find the portal code to Erika's Tower, on a pillar near Solberg's Tower.
• Once you have adequate rep you can gain Royal clearance, allowing you to enter most anyplace, including speaking with King Micah. He'll give you the Kill Garzahd main quest.
• Also, once you retrieve 2 crystal souls, he'll start you off on your quest to retrieve demonslayer. Talk with Rone. (NOTE: you can not get demonslayer if you've already killed Garzahd).
• Getting Royal Clearance gives you access to the royal treasurer, Lithgow. You can get a stipend from him of 25cp once per day; there is no provision for back pay.
• When you enter the treasure room, you will be instantly attacked by three ur-basilisks and quickfire. Kill the ur-basilisks. You can steal the loot in the treasure room without causing the town to get angry with you (3000cp and Blessed Plate Mail). You should have a high number of health points, and know Dispel Barrier and Unlock Doors L3 before doing this.
• Once you have returned two of the Crystal Souls to the Shrine of Crstals, you can get permission from King Micah to borrow Demonslayer. Talk to Rone to get instructions, then head down to Patrick's Tower to get it.

CAMP SAMUELS

Quests: Find Locke -10xp, 1 rep Shops Foulk: Magic Lockpicks, Identification Ray: Blessed Steel Weapons

• Small quest here. Talk to Lt. Krizsan, and get the find Locke quest. Locke can be "found" in Fort Draco by looking at the ledger in the building with the ore.
• Foulk is a seller of magic lockpicks and can identify your items.
• Ray is a good weaponsmith dealing with blessed steel items.
