Named for the grasslands in its South. The Steppes was the site of the now-defunct Portal of War, which was used long ago by the Rallosian Army to open a portal to the Plane of Earth.

Today, this land is the territory of the Stonemight goblins (in the Southwest), Darkfell gnolls (in the North) and some of the strongest hill giants in all of Antonica (in the Northwest). While treants, wolves, centaurs, leopards, and bears wander an evergreen grove in the West, a horde of wasp spiders makes their home in the Southeast.

Suffering from occasional snowstorms, the Steppes provide the first taste of the relentlessly cold climate of northwestern Antonica.

In the general vicinity of the forest glade (center-west of the zone), there are two different mobs with the same name, "a guardian of the grove". One has the appearance of a satyr, the other a centaur.

I haven't killed either at this point. Are they "interchangeable" from a fight standpoint? What about loot?

I am submitting screenshots of each today for the db entry. If anyone has more detailed information please share.

Cheers.

More Info on Portal of War:

Seems its a event, once u heal the portal to 100% with the portal fragments a named called Pummelcrush spawns with lots of adds, they stand near portal. Once they are all killed another named + lots of adds spawns on the other side, named is called Vetiki (looks like a big bug with wings), he splits alot into copies of himself, very annoying to know which is the real one. After they all die another named + adds spawn, named is called Vegeroth (looks like a big rock guy), once he's dead 2 more named spawn, just them, they are called Earthrender and Earthcrusher, no adds, once they are dead the final boss spawns.

Final named is called Demeton, destroyer of life, looks like Gnarli from ToB, he dropped:

and

http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=46787

and

http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=46785

On each wave b4 last one the mobs just stand near portal in a formation, easy to split them from each other and the small trash doesn't have much hp. Named on every wave conned red at L75. Event wasn't too hard, we were 33 ppl when we did it and were into demi-plane if u wanna judge how hard event is.

Found today up by Icefall:

a Krithgor ritesmaster
a Krithgor pilgrim

Ritesmaster was white at 75, pilgrims where blue (There were two of them). None was kos, talked about following them or telling them to wait but as they said they had others to guide them I assume they are part of some quest.

Red to 75, Raid encounter
Spawned at the portal once the Portal of War was healed to 100% using portal fragments obtained in the Steppes Gate Neck quest. Each portal fragment heals between 1-4% by targetting the Portal of War and insta clicking the fragment.

Spawned with nearly 2 dozen adds lvl 71+ that encircled him.

Has a single target 6k DD spell/prock

unsure of any other information

I confirm this sighting.. he was just outside the entrance to Icefall. I didn't try to kill him, since he can't be snared and necro's make bad tanks.

He is immune to changes in run speed and procs an annoying dd associated with his bow.

Has 3 different procs from his arrows - a blind , a snare ( hamstring ) and one that affects your arm so presumably affects your melee ability. The names iirc were something like 'gruet's blind effect' etc.
The blind is irritating but once you have him targeted it doesnt affect your ability to dot him down. RC7 removed just one effect and its common to have 2 or 3 on you at once as it seems like the majority of his arrows proc , so curing seems pointless. Every arrow hit me for 237 exactly.
After his initial charge he was happy to stand at range and pepper me with arrows and didnt try to run when the dots took him low.
Dropped a 'Razor-sharp Obsidian Blade', no trade quest item wt 3.0 size large all all, plus the usual runed oak bow, a darkfell fang and class 4 steel serrated arrow that the rest of the gnolls drop.
One other odd note - malis and malisinise both gave a ' would not take hold' message. I normally only get that if a mage has beat me to casting them but didnt see anyone else around.

Darkfell Captian Stonebow. Yellow at 71. He didn't have much hp or hit hard at all (lots of 200 range). Dropped a jade and something else minor. With some quest mobs only dropping items if you are at that stage of progression I am guessing that is the case for this guy. Hope I didn't hose anyone up =(. Spawn location - if you stand at the NE corner of the map/gnoll area looking into the gnoll camp he was in the closest building to you. Of the two mobs that spawn in there he was on the left if you haven't changed your from-the-corner-perspective.
