The western plains are by far the largest section of the Karana Plains. For Qeynos and Surefall citizens, this is the gateway into the eastern part of Antonica. Surrounded by rivers and mountains, this vast area plays host to several groups, factions and camps.

First there are the Millers, a family of farmers who occupy the scarecrow fields in the southcentral area.

Second, there are the two cyclopses, Froon and Choon, who spend their time in the northeast unless drawn away by bandits or adventurers passing by.

Third, there are the Rallos Zek-worshipping ogres led by the highly aggro Chief Goonda, a shaman native to Oggok.

Fourth, there are the hordes of ghouls, skeletons, and zombies which are slowly spreading themselves throughout the land. Then there are the bandits who are trying to drive absolutely everyone out of the Karanas.

Halas is represented here as well, with a barbarian fishermen village stationed in the southwest on the river's bank. Also to no surprise, the city of Qeynos has established its presence here with a few guard towers stationed along the pathway. In addition to these factions and groups there are plenty of wandering wildlife as well as solo renegades, such as Oobnopterbevny Biddilets of Ak'Anon's Dark Reflection.

I was running around WK last week and came across an scarecrow NPC named Crow in a barn near Rongol. In the other barn were 4 NPC's named a hired hand. Running all around these barns were a dozen or more a crazed scarecrows. Had to have been Halloween creatures. I took screenshots, I'll send them in.

Found several(30 or more) of these running up and down the beach during halloween season. I figured oh how nice I speed up farming for seeds and flesh. But, when I tryed to target and kill one my spells did not take hold. So these seem to be on par with the pie hurlers in Toxx. Just a teaser...?

There is also a scarecrow in the barn near there named Crow that is also unattackable. Perhaps related to the a crazed scarecrow(s).

I actually found a new NPC in this old zone, as its not listed above.

Kyle Rinlin... a grey con (at Level 80) Knight.

He appeared as I zoned in from QHills and started running. I ran up and hailed him and he said, "No time to talk!! I must be off. The grains of sand are falling and I must prove that we paladins from the Temple of Thunder are the quickest."

Rather than run off again, he just stood there. So I tried various responses based on his comment and got no further response. After about 45 seconds he started running again. I followed him to the 1st crossroads where the tower is.

I saw a few lions (I was after a Lions Tail for the cultural book) so I killed two right quick. I lost track of himn at that point.

Anyone know what this NPC is for? It appears one is to either give him an item (thus the reason he just stood there after being hailed) or follow him for some reason?

There is a part of the Bard 1.0 where there is a woman in the first Guard Tower who asks you to particitpate in a relay race and the Bard music sheets are the reward. iirc this man is supposed to be "participating" in the race to add realism though he does not actually do anything for the quest itself and simply runs back and forth in WK.

Kyle Renlin

There is an NPC named Kyle Renlin that roams the road near the Qeynos Hills entrance. He says something about the grains of time running out and the Paladins of the Knights of Truth having to prove they're the quickest.

What I find interesting about this NPC is, that there is an NPC in East Freeport named Tylar Renlin, who is a friend of Ariska Zimel and is involved in the Soulfire quest. Could Kyle Renlin perhaps respond to something related to the Soulfire, or maybe be a part of a quest involving the Soulfire? Here is a link to Tylar Renlin: http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=7779

Anyone know the story behind this "race" that seems to be going on between the Knights of Truth and the Priests of Life?

Grebin Sneztop, this guy was running on the road from QHs and cons warmly to me as a Pally from Mithmarr. He speaks of sands fallen and that he has to prove the paladins are the fastest.

I saw him last night running out of the canyon from Qeynos Hills, his last name is Billkin. I decided to follow, he ran a circuit, passing a guard tower and back to the chasm.

Then the oddest thing happened: in the canyon, a werewolf (con red to my Lvl20) jumped out and quickly killed the running man, whose corpse said something about being revenged by his friends in the Knights of Thunder.

The next night I saw Kobot Dellin running the same path, and he says no time to waste, has to prove they're faster than the paladins.

I can't find Billkin's name under the Knights of Thunder faction, or the WKarana beastiary. Anyone know if the attack was random, or part of a quest? Maybe the werewolf was sent to interfere in the race.

I found a Dark Elf Female today not listed on the beastiary. Her name is Nevi Jann and is DB to 65 rogue. She located in the cottage just south of the Cyclops totem. When hailed she responded that she couldn't talk cause she was waiting for someone very important. I'm sending in a pic too

I found this low lvl guy today. He runs between Qeynos Hills zone and guard tower 2. When hailed, he stops and says something about a race with the paladins from the temple of life. Killing him gives negative hits to: Knights of Thunder, Priests of Life, Guards of Qeynos and a positive hit for Bloodsabers. He dropped 4 copper. Anyone know what this guy is for?

His name was Kyle something. i checked zone listing and i was the only player in zone so this NPC is not on the list as of today. i will keep looking as i am collecting bandit sashes for my epic faction.

add a snarling werewolf Pops when you turn note into Yuanda. They were immune to melee damage but not spell damage. all were blue at 70 except one was yellow, all slowable.

All apear to be quest mobs of some sort possilbly. Yuanda a DE who cons dubious to me and white con at 65. Sir Arlindo Goldenheart, probably a Pally class coned red to me at 65, and indiff. One more was Mystik when hailed said she has no time for me or something along those lines, but seemed to be a monk class, also a red con at 65 ;)

Fabled Chief Goonda
# Apr 10 2004 at 3:02 PM Rating: Decent
Just adding to this page that there is indeed a Fabled Chief Goonda at the Ogre camp. Conned Dark Blue to both myself (55 Warrior) and my wife (56 Shaman). Wasn't too bad of a fight for just the 2 of us. She put her pet on his and buffed my Magic Resist (132). He was casting Malaisement a lot but not sticking it. Dropped the:

Fabled Batskull Earring
Slot: Ear
AC:3
Focus Effect: Reagent Conservation III
INT: +5 HP: +15 MANA: +15
Saves: Cold +5, Disease +5 and Poison +5
Wt: 0.2 Size: Tiny
Class: ALL Race: ALL

Noone around who could really use it so I looted it. I am now a 55 Warrior with a nice Fabled Batskull Earring :-) Looks like I can sell my regular one that is part of my Intellegence suit.

Cyclops missing from bestiary
# Mar 09 2004 at 12:38 AM Rating: Decent
There is definitely a cyclops (unnamed) in West Karana, killed him yesterday (had to run back and forth across the zone using bellows for an enternity to do it). Loot was just a bronze sword. Conned dark blue to level 34
Cyclops
# Feb 29 2004 at 4:46 PM Rating: Decent
Um why is there no cyclops in the besitiary? I know there is one because i soloed one with my 35 war. Saw something that looked like a totem(because it was) and decided to investgate. I walked around but didn't see anything so started to leave. Then i remembered i had turned off my sound so i turned it on as i was running and heard the BOOM BOOM BOOM of footsteps on my ***** I wipped around and the thing attacked. I was scared poopless for a sec cuz i knew i wasnt a soloing class but he conned blue and didn't hit for quite as much as me so i went for it. He is located near one of the paths to a bandit camp(not very specific sorry) and i only saw one but there might be more. He wasn't too tough got me down to 37% hp before he fell. Loot wasnt great. Only 5 or so plat and a couple silver. I'd say in the range of high 20's to low 30's for lvl.

Found a Paladin running out from QH zoneline in WK, hailed him and he stopped, saying "No time to talk!! I must be off. The grains of sand are falling and I must prove that we paladins from the Temple of Thunder are the quickest."

Sounded like some kind of race...

So I killed him...

He dropped prayer beads

    Renux Herkanor?
    # Aug 11 2003 at 7:39 PM Rating: Decent
    Today while roaming in West Karana I saw Renux Herkanor who I had never seen before, so I went to have a look. She was standing right beside Gidiin Toxfodder, the rogue poison quest giver and when I hailed her, she replied with...

    Rendux Herkanor peers at you, looking you up and down `Greetings Iilane. I wish you could help me, but you look like you lack the knowledge to perform the tasks I require. Come back when you are ready.'

    Sounds like something related to PoP? Maybe someone with more flags go hail her?

    Hey guys, I was here about 2 years ago as a newb and I was around the 14 level with my warrior and I found this guy. he was a traveler and right when I came close to him or hailed him, a Gnoll assasin jumped him. I barely beat em and he dropped some stuff and I recieved some goods from the traveler. BUT as I held the stuff he gave me, Gnoll assasins kept jumping me ever hour or so. Any idea what quest this was??? I got jumped everywhere in cities and other places by these damn dirty Gnolls. I destroyed the items and now on a diff char I wanna find info on the quest. Any clues?
    Something hinky in the Karanas

    Just wondering if anyone else notices something off. As of last night the grass of the Karanas has all wilted brown, most noticably in N.K. but all suffer the same. It could have been seasonal since it was October-November by the game reconing by I never noticed such before.

    Could something new be befouling the whole Karanas as W.K. once was?

    I don't know about a group but there is the Ghoul Messenger who's route takes him over the far eastern hills who is KOS to most and plenty strong to whomp you good. You'll have to try and be a bit more specific though as to what area since aside from the overly broad range or mountains area along the plains there are 3 guard posts, 2 villages and a camp within visual range of the mountains to Queynos Hill alone.
