The island is reached only by teleporter from Rag Nax – a hidden valley in the mountains beyond the spider cave.

A mountain pass leads to the entrance of this very busy dungeon where numerous creatures live, not always in harmony, as this picture of the war zone shows. A short way into the dungeon the path runs alongside some derelict buildings. You may find a narrow path through the debris, but the inhabitants appear unable to, not crossing from east to west, or indeed from west to east. Keeping to the right hand path allows the […]
