New Prestonbule Cave

The New Prestonbule Cave was once a cavern used by the residents of Prestonbule as a storehouse. After the Orc raid on the recently established town, a number of survivors opted to seek shelter in the cave instead of trying to return to the southern Council Lands. Most of the former residents of Prestonbule have now died, but a group of friendly travelers has set up camp inside. Their camp inside the cave provides amenities such as a tanning rack and a campfire.

Prestonbule

This Council settlement was a once-peaceful town built at the edge of the Gazluk plateau. After a new Orc faction took over Gazluk City, the town was attacked. The remaining buildings are now inhabited by hostile Horrific Ghosts.

Gazluk City

As the name suggests, this is a large castle-like town populated by various factions of usually hostile Orcs. The entrance to Gazluk Keep can be found within its walls.

Orc Camp East

This Orc encampment is guarded by orcish swordsmen, archers, and mages. This camp lies just East of the Snowblood Shadow Cave.

Orc Camp West

This Orc encampment is guarded by orcish swordsmen, archers, and mages. This camp lies just North of New Prestonbule Cave.

Orc Camp South

This Orc encampment is guarded by orcish swordsmen, archers, and mages. This camp lies just West of New Prestonbule Cave.

Glowing Crystals

These Glowy Yellow Crystals might provide some warmth, but travelers should stay away from them if they value their health. There are several groupings of them placed throughout the map.

Animal Camp

The animal camp is home to two animal NPCs so far: Fluffikins, and Trekker, as well as two humanoids: Aven and Aralorn. This camp is also surrounded by the glowy yellow crystals, so watch out for them. A Candle Station can be found at the Animal Camp.
