This forest serves as the gateway into Norrath for the wood elves of Kelethin and high elves of Felwithe. And with Ak'Anon and Kaladim so close by, it is not uncommon to see gnomes and dwarves throughout the area as well.

Don't let the safety of Kelethin's well-fortified boundaries fool you. While the area has numerous guard posts and patrols, the further you travel away from the city the higher level of danger and risk you will encounter.

The orc stronghold of Crushbone can be found along the northern boundaries of the forest while the darker, more dangerous Lesser Faydark lies to the south. Only those more experienced should consider travelling to the two areas.

What are these []Graveskull[/]s that seem to be in Greater Faydark? Their conversations keep showing up on my chat screen and I've seen them but I can't remember where. There were three of them at the time though.

Saw her today roaming northwest of Kelethin

Alania Peaceheart, female wood elf, wielding a 2h staff which she bonked me with many times. I assume since I too am a wood elf that she is on one of the Greater Fay factions but I have not found her listed under any. The staff makes me think she is a druid as she was also casing druidic spells on me (Immolate, Ensnaring Roots, and Drones of Doom) as well as the 2h staff. She was kos to me and did not respond to hails (this could simply be due to PoG raid faction loss).

I did notice she seemed to lose aggro on me randomly once, ran a few feet away, then reaggrod me and reattacked. Max hit was 104.

Changes since 'the war'
# Aug 16 2005 at 3:46 PM Rating: Decent
These are notes from a noob so take them for what they are worth. First, new mobs

an orc seer: don't know much other than can cast Sicken adn Drowsy.

orc footman: didn't appear to be much different than the Centurions, and are located in the camps where the Centurions used to be.

an orc conscript: these appear in camps where Centurions used to be.

orc witchdoctor: don't know much about other than saw it in one of the camps to right of the Crushbone entrance.

Three other notes:
1) they all conned green to an 18th level Monk, and
2) centurions now read 'an orc centurion' instead of 'orc centurion' although there may be both and I just didn't notice,
and
3) they appear to be much faster than they used to be. I often would beat on centurions until they turned and ran (somewhere in the mid-20%'s) then beat on them until the kick it. Every orc I fought today split at mid-40ish% and I had a very hard time trying to even keep up with them - and often couldn't.

Event/War still up

Anyone able to confirm to this day/date if the war/event is still going on?

I've heard a number of stories if they're up or not, but I'd like feedback from someone else here please.

Multiple varieties of "Essence of ___ " potions (various racial illusions) also dropped.

Additionally, a very decent bow (Orcslayer, Bow of the Faydark Defenders? forget actual name)was also linked in zone many times, which supposedly dropped from one of the other named in zone, but never once dropped from the Captains.

The other event-related named from the zone that I saw were General Aauiden, Colonel Iluwenae, and Tactician Inuverae (all conned yellow at 69-same as captains).


**Will e-mail the screenies for named + loot to Allakhazam.

Nala Goldenthorn, Red to 65. On EQatlas platform 15 inside one of the houses(the newbie lift platform) She is marked under her name as (Tradeskill Quests) but I can't seem to get any as she says "Greetings "name" I am afraid I do not have time to talk at the moment. Please leave me to my work. If your looking for work yourself, I suggest you return to your home city and seek out your own kind." hmm, I am a wood elf ranger of tunare...so where is my hometown but kelethin? Faction is indifferent so maybe that's it or is my lvl too high for these quests?

As I was waltzing through the greater Fay today, on my way from the Felwithe book to the Butcherblocks, I ran across a small bit of sparkle on the ground. Staring at it, I was mesmerized...as I am every time I see a sparklie bit. Anyways, I tried to touch it, and as my hand touched it, it stopped sparkling, and in my hand was a "torn piece of fabric". Now why would that sparkle? In any case, I tucked it away in my pack and continued on my way, determined to figure it out...some day.

So...anyone know what this is for? Seen it before? Have any clue at all? Found on the path from felwithe to BB. Very hard to miss as it's, well...really sparkly.

I just found one on the path from the Wayfarers Camp, where the path turns north towards the POK book.

Same as you... I saw the sparkle from quite aways away. Thought at first it was the ring on someone sitting there invis.

Did an identify on it and it id's as "it appears to be the same fabric as Firiona's cloak"

New quest maybe? Think I'll check out FV for more info.

Coyotes in GF
# Nov 05 2004 at 5:20 PM Rating: Decent
Those of you looking for Coyotes for their newbie armor need to look in the West part of the zone. They are fairly common in this area as well as a few uncommon low level brownies for the Bard newbie armor quest. I tend to find that a lot of peeps ignor the western part of the zone when they should be exploring the whole zone for it's variaty of mobs and xp.
