Area History and Comments:

Entered game ????, certainly before 2000.

One of the level limited sections has an example of the ‘screw newbies’ mentality the game used to have. Only weaker players can enter, and it has about 6 monsters that will try to ambush and kill you. On the other hand, the pawns were easy experience newbiefood in the old days.
