Welcome to the main town of the region. There's lots to do here. First I'd recommend talking with Solberg, who lives upstairs to the north. Get him to give you a new onyx passage bracelet so that you can do a few more quests around the area. Also, pick up the tools for Shanker. Solberg also gives you a quest to fix the mad sentinels. It's one of the more difficult quests in the game, but very imaginative. Drink from his basin to get a few xp. When you're able (you'll need some decent magical strength) break his barrier and loot the chest for a knowledge elixir and wand of the inferno. You'll need to be right on the chest in order not to get caught. Grab more quests from the job board to the east. Hulot to the SW will trade with you and has some decent items for sale.

Tiacoura will train you in mage spells for cost. She also gives you a quest to test a sentinel in the south tower. Grab the key from her nearby room to the east. Head to the south and go up the stairs. Look around- you'll see a button on the wall. Push it and use the basin for some xp. Then prepare for battle and ring the gong. Hit the sentinel first with physical damage (melee + missiles) then hit it with fire, then with disruption spells, then with energy spells (e.g., lightning spray, smite), and kill it. Return for a larger inventory of spells made available to you. She'll give you a second quest then, to take care of the west tower sentinels after she casts an experimental blessing spell on you. Head to the stairs west, and buff up. Then ring the gong. Concentrate on one golem at a time- they shouldn't be too tough, though the blessing Tiacoura casts on you has several nasty side effects. Shrug them off the best you are able and take the golems out. Then go talk with Tiacoura. She gives you the permission to read Solberg's book of Dispel Barrier. Woot! Use the spell to bring down the barrier to the east of her and grab your mandrake tincture and other goods as a reward. Talk with Tiacoura about getting to Moref the Shade to get a new key to help you kill it.

Dionicio, who you met early in New Harston, has a new quest for you- to figure out what's going on in the east tower. You'll need to go east and use some switches to sneak in. Approach the pool, and then return to Dionicio for your reward- a static band ring. He'll leave you be with the promise to meet you in the Azure Gallery.

Malachite, a slith mage to the west, gives you a quest to check on the sentinels in the NE quadrant. This is a fairly tough quest, but worth doing. Malachite will also reward you for the golem crystals. Once you're done with the stealth quest, you can claim your reward- a blessed helmet. She has another quest for you- to test your endurance against the sentinels. You get a focusing crystal and a nice baton for your troubles.

Domont is a darkside loyalist. He tells you what the darksiders expect from you- to steal Solberg's papers, and to kill Solberg. If you're not playing as a darksider, tell him to buzz off. It's still worth stealing Solberg's papers, if only to trade them later on to a certain underworld power.

Goodman Tati is a nephil who has a quest for you- get proof that the golems near his house are going crazy. Once it's dead, tell him and he'll tell you to search his trashcan for some goods.
