Ever since the Duke of Eltibule was mysteriously assassinated, all attempts to tame that land seem to run into bad luck.

ProjectGorgon:Eltibule is a hilly region of the Council Lands which borders both ProjectGorgon:Serbule and Sedgewick regions. The lands were once home to the Duchy of Eltibule, though in recent years the land is patronless as each member of the Eltibule family met an ill fate. ProjectGorgon:Eltibule Keep, their former seat of power, has been maintained by former servants of the family and passing merchants. Years ago, many merchants and craftsmen were drawn to the Eltibule area because of Council promises to drive out the goblins and establish a new trade route starting in Eltibule and going through the ProjectGorgon:Kur Mountains to ProjectGorgon:Gazluk. The road was never started, only one guard house was built, and the army traveling to pacify the region vanished. The rocky landscape of the region prevents extensive farming, however some residents have managed to carve out homesteads near the most prominent feature of Eltibule, its many lakes.

Adventurers content with their combat prowess in ProjectGorgon:Serbule often travel to ProjectGorgon:Eltibule seeking greater foes and loot, drawn by rumors of strange fairy beasts and combative goblin clans.

Eltibule's Grave Problem

Eltibule's Weird Statues

Explorers of the ProjectGorgon:Eltibule periphery may discover stone statues encircling the region.

Dark Chapel

For years, Eltibule has been rumored as the home of a mysterious cult. Strange cave systems with moving entrances, riddles, and rumors of untold power have led many explorers to an early demise.

Opening the ProjectGorgon:Dark Chapel

This involves a few steps:

1) Players must obtain a Gulgara's Sigil Key, these can be found as loot drops on ProjectGorgon:Crazed Cultist Idiots, humans who are scattered around the Eltibule zone.

2) Players then must find the correct "Weird Statue"(See the Map on this page) that changes with each phase of the moon:

A) If you do not know the correct statue, you can take a ProjectGorgon:Moonstone to each statue and give it as a sacrifice. If the statue consumes the moonstone and returns a treasure map, then it is the correct statue. If not, it is not the correct statue.

B) If you know the Lore Recipe Moon Phase Check, and know what statue the current Moon phase corresponds to you can go directly to the statue. (See below for a map of the statues and their moon phase.)

C) If you give your key to the wrong statue, you Lose the key and must find another. If you enter it into the correct statue it will be returned to you once you enter the Dungeon.

Note: The statues rotate clock-wise and the "Moon Phase" refers to the current phase of Earth's moon (GMT time zone).

Trivia

Eltiuble was once known simply as the "Castle Zone."
Originally, half the teleport platforms in the ProjectGorgon:Eltibule region were of crone-design. They were represented by large flat stone disks covered in vines and moss.
