• Complete exploration of this area contributes approximately 1.0% to the Tyrian Cartographer title.
• Vanquisher runs of this area without active quests require defeating around 196 foes. Including quest influences, it has been reported to range from 163 to 191 foes.
  • There are hidden Juniper Barks throughout the area.
  • Enchantment based builds are vulnerable to stripping from the large number of Stone Summit in the area.
  • There are several walking groups of 2 Stone Summit each at the eastern part of the map below Yak's Bend which can be overlooked easily because they have a larger patrol circle/area.
• This is said to be where Nicholas found Professor Yakkington as a calf, before the Searing.
• The Centaurs and Dwarves are hostile to each other.

Trivia
