Dal'lian Mountains

The Dal'lian Mountains are a low mountain range in western Faydwer. They are the ancestral home of the elves, but were abandoned long ago. Recently, the Koada'Dal have returned to the region and built a new city, Felwithe, which sits atop a mountain overlooking the port of Keresal. The mountains are covered in airy woodlands and meadows of lavender. A series of watchtowers guard the road leading to the Hills of Shade and, eventually, to the Faybright Forest and the wood elves of Kelethin. The southern end of the mountains is home to the pacific Lake Elizerain.  

Points of Interest

  Ancient Oak: An Ancient Oak stands in a small valley in the southernmost part of the region. It is guarded by the gold dragon Sypiriax (level 52) who is a member of the Ring of Scale. Anyone with bad faction will be attacked on sight making the Oak potentially dangerous to teleport to while the dragon is up.   The Black Isle: An island of black, jagged rock sits in the center of the lake. The cairn of an ancient orc chieftain is located there, as is a coven of elven witches serving the god Thule. These witches are hostile to all who do not worship him.   The Chessboard: Lying on the ground, nestled between two salients, there is a chessboard measuring some sixteen meters across complete with giant chess pieces. The board is ancient, and some of the pieces are missing or have fallen over. The black side appears to have been winning when the game was cut short. Skeletal undead ogres (14 - 17) lurk among the pieces. The white queen conceals a secret entrance to the Puzzle Box.   The Estate of Unrest: A ruined elven estate, now overrun with undead. It is a dungeon for levels 12-35.   Foehammer Hold: The Foehammer orcs are based out of a castle in the Northern Dal'lian mountains. It is a dungeon for levels 4-25.   Fomorian Camps: Along the north western coast, there are three Fomorian dinghies pulled up to the shore. A larger vessel sits anchored just off shore. There are Fomorians camped around the dinghies who will attack on sight.   Guard Tower 1: At the eastern end of the newbie area. Two Koada'Dal templars (20-22), one Koada'Dal cleric (19-21)   Guard Tower 2: Half way up the road to the Hills of Shade. Two Koada'Dal templars (20-22), one Koada'Dal evoker (21-23)   Guard Tower 3: At the pass to the Hills of Shade. Two Koada'Dal templars (20-22), one Koada'Dal cleric (19-21)   Keresal: The port of the Koada'Dal, Keresal is a walled port town that offers passage to the Ocean of Tears and Qeynos, as well as Freeport. It is administered by the Koada'Dal; however, their disdain for physical labor means that the dock workers and fishermen are Kunarkian humans. The humans are vassals of Felwithe but are barred from living in the city itself. They are the only non elves who may enter Felwithe without substantial faction work.   Orc Camps (x4): Foehammer Orcs from levels 4 - 13 can be found in the northern part of the mountains.   Rakthok: the Rakthokian Ogres have taken up residence in an ancient, crumbling fort in the pass to the Loping Plains. The south side is for levels 12 - 14 and the north side is for levels 20-24.   Wayfarer Camp: A camp of NPC adventurers. They offer a somewhat safe place to rest for adventurers in the southern mountains. Training is available here.
