Hover over the markers for more details.

The nephils here surprisingly don't want to kill you. Pilot your boat to the main island, then explore the village. The rogue nephilim Kherrr is in the building to the north - ask him to duel as you'll run into him during the main quest of this area. You can rob the room to the NE if you'd like. Talk with Elder Mhrrorr when you're ready to take on the quest of this area, the go down the hatch to the NW.

Enter the chambers: there is a fountain you can use to restore your magical energy. Head to the east. Use the map below for assistance.

1. Testmaster Orrassa and two wolves are your first challenge. Beat him up till he submits (don't kill him!) to pass the test.
2. Traps impede you here, if you have a character with decent tool use this shouldn't be a problem. You get a knowledge brew and iron bracers for your efforts.
3. Another chest. You have 3 options - unlock it with a spell, use strength to open the gate, or hit the secret button. The button is obviously the best route.
4. Ring the gong and summon some worms. They're pretty easy, though can surprise you.
5. A blade-warded ghoul blocks you here. Use spells to bring it down (ratskin shawl for a reward). There is a hidden room which has a fountain you can heal yourself with. You can also pillage the ceremonial item, a nephil warblade (wow!). All ceremonial items will disappear though as soon as you leave the premises (unless you cheat - see end of FAQ for details).
6. A massive worg is here and it doesn't like you unless you have decent cave lore. Then it's friendly and you can claim the loot (+ ceremonial bow!).
7. Testmaster Shelles is against you here. Beat her up till he submits.
8. Arkada the Assassin is guarding this room. Beat him up till he submits. You can get some ceremonial leggings for your trouble.
9. Hssrrotis Piercer is in this room. You will need to kill him to win. He drops a deadeye cloak and a blessed bow for your troubles.

Now head west through the doors. Don't go up yet, instead kill Kherrr, who lurks near the place you entered. Kherrr drops a thick wool tunic on death.
