The Southern Plains of Karana are home to two villages: One for the aviaks and another for the centaurs (the two don't always get along).

Here, you'll also find the entrance to the former Splitpaw Lair (a dungeon overrun with hordes of planar elementals). The gnolls that used to inhabit Splitpaw can now be found around the dungeon's entrance, making the area rather dangerous for the low level adventurer.

This is the only place in Norrath where you'll find elephants as well as a very elusive pegasus named Quillmane, highly sought after for its levitation cloak. Cyclopses, undead, and plenty of wandering animals make this an excellent hunting grounds for players from level 15 to 35.

1st appeared 2008.

Cikdew and her cat, Glinda.

Hailing Cikdew results in:

[Sat Oct 31 10:30:32 2009] Targeted (NPC): Cikdew
[Sat Oct 31 10:30:32 2009] Right click on the NPC to consider her.
[Sat Oct 31 10:30:33 2009] You say, 'Hail, Cikdew'
[Sat Oct 31 10:30:34 2009] Cikdew says 'Hello my pretty! Have you come to [aid] this poor old woman? If not, then go away!'
[Sat Oct 31 10:30:40 2009] You say, 'aid'
[Sat Oct 31 10:30:40 2009] Cikdew says 'Ah, good. You see, I am far too old and feeble to manage the difficult task at hand on my own. I need a strong young adventurer like you to help me. Surely this will be a [simple task] for one of your skills, no?'
[Sat Oct 31 10:30:46 2009] You say, 'simple task'
[Sat Oct 31 10:30:47 2009] Cikdew says 'Well, you see, there are some things that can only be done during the Nights of the Dead. Some mystical items can only be gathered on these nights or they are not potent. Some magic will only work on these nights. I have need of some very special things that can only be gathered now so that I can make something of use with them. But this all must be done before the Nights of the Dead are over. I really can't explain what I seek until the time is proper, or that will break the magic. Will you [do this] for me?'
[Sat Oct 31 10:30:51 2009] You say, 'do this'
[Sat Oct 31 10:30:51 2009] You have been assigned the task 'The Witch's Wish'.
[Sat Oct 31 10:30:51 2009] Cikdew says 'Very good, deary! Now, take this with you and I will be able to guide you through it.'

This task has but one step... it reads:

Hi! 0/1 All


Hailing Glinda results in:

[Sat Oct 31 10:33:23 2009] You say, 'Hail, Glinda'
[Sat Oct 31 10:33:23 2009] Glinda says 'Merrrow!'

With the Rongol Halloween tasks (also added 2008), he hints at a Witch that asked him for a Jade Bowl.

I have not been able to destermine a recipe for a Jade Bowl...

This appears to be a tradeskill quest. It also appears she is supposed to give you something, like a recipe or hint book (by her text), but she doesn't give you anything.

Then again, it may be a collect quest, as she hints that SHE needs certain items that can only be collected "on these nights" (I suppose during the Halloween events).

(She is located under the Bridge to N. Karana.)

Also -- Bamrih Tyco is also standing there with Cikdew.

She keeps changing him into a frog, after being annoyed by his presence )she emotes).

When the illusion wears off, Barih says, "I got better!"

I am not sure how this is related to her task or if it is just a "fun" sidetrack.

I don't know if this is the correct place to post or not, but during the 10th celebration of EQ, the Avatar of Karana spawned in South Karana, mostly east of the Quillmane spawn point, not far from the eastern border of the zone. He looks exactly like the post of Karana in BoT. Anyway, he's currently giving out a quest that will increase fear and respect for him on Norrath.

saw these in South Karana after a zone wide emote that said something along the lines the aviaks were tired of being whopped on and that they were going to do somthing about it. Saw 4 or 5 of these Aviak Avenger mobs around the Aviak villiage in north end of south karana. no one was there killing aviaks. not sure what triggered emote there were only 2 of us in the zone. Oh yeah they attack me when I got near them. low level 25ish.

South Karana DoD Monster Mission

59 posts
As of the date of this posting, this is one of the newer monster missions. You'll need to find a gnollish zealot, who is just east of the bridge by the river on the north side of the zone. Walk through the text trigger words and get the mission; then you will be transported to Splitpaw Lair.

As a level 70 gnoll, you'll get to be either a cleric, enchanter, warrior, or magician. Our group tried a couple of different combinations but finally succeeded with 2 clerics, 2 warriors, 1 enchanter, and 1 mage.

We didn't do anything fancy, but just plucked away at elementals one by one until the mission is done. We saw no respawns during our mission. It'll help to have a group member with a decent knowledge of the zone or at least a map. The two main areas you have to reach are the prison cells and the location of your ultimate target - Farsoth Mal. To find Farsoth Mal, you'll need to cross two bridges, veer left at the fork after the second bridge, and look to the big room on the right. Farsoth Mal is in the center. After taking him down, the chest will spawn in the center along with the gnome who will teleport you out.

Some difficulties we had were bad mob pathing near the first bridge that caused us several wipes and lots of downtime. I wouldn't recommend fighting on this bridge because you'll get adds from below and get wiped. Another difficulty we had was that some people didn't get experience after completing the mission, but after hailing the gnollish zealot back in SK and zoning out to another zone, we got our experience.

Here's what came from the chest:

Just a run in with Aviak Avengers. Was killing Aviaks in SK at the Village and saw a message that the Villagers were tired of the attacks and were sending in their best Warriors to defend the Village. Saw about 4 before one saw me and agroed. Hit me once for 81HP as I was running with SoW for Lake Rathe zone. Killed my pet very quickly and I didnt stop to check out how many were after me. They conned Red to Lev 26 Mage

Kurrpok Splitpaw now spawing in SK, too

I just found this fellow (Kurrpok Splitpaw) OUTSIDE Splitpaw lair which is not where he is supposed to be. He was running around in South Karana a bit to the east from the entry to Splitpaw and a little north of the Hermit's hut. He had the courtesy to drop the Ruby Pendant.

I'm not sure if this change is in preparation for the upcoming Splitpaw revamp or not. (As I write this the revamp has already taken place on the Legends server and has yet to arrive on the other live servers.)

Having spent a great deal of time in South Karana over the years I can honestly say that this is the first time I can recall having encouontered Kurrpok there.

Interestingly enough I also found the werewolf running around the zone at the same time as Sentry Alechin. (I had both on track at the same time.) That's the first time I have ever seen that happen, too. I think they are playing with the SK spawn tables.

I checked to see if he was still spawning inside Splitpaw. He is. So far.

Skeleton Lord, a shadow knight, LB to a level 63. Took him out today with my 65 Necromancer, he was definately played by a GM. Kept trying to get behind me, resisted spells with a messgae stating "This spell cannot affect target PC". lol he seemed reluctant to spawn with me waiting for him, gave emote: "Skeleton Lord mourn" hehe.

Upon death his corpse conned as a player's (with rez timer) a few SK only items of limited value.

Fun, but very very odd...

btw...he chased my 63 druid and 51 pally friend out of zone due to a very high regen that was too much for their dps.

# Oct 18 2004 at 3:23 PM Rating: Decent
Few weeks ago was camping QM for a mage, and all of a sudden theres a shout "The hermit shall be hurt no more" or around like that, and 3 druids popped up. Now I guess either something I've never seen or GM event, because earlier, 3 GMs were in the zone, and when I moved out of spell range druids ducked to interrupt casting. There was also a guide popping in and out of invis near hermit hut... All were lb to 45ish, and when I shouted "I will protect the hermit" they didn't attack...and I and some buds killed him, one dropped Charred Guardian Shield, Blackened Ebony mace (or something along those lines) and something else I can't remember. After that nothing special...apparently the shout about the hermit was heard in PoK too
