[Zone Name]: The Lost City of Jlindan

[Difficulty]: 10

[Overview]: In the eastern desert an ancient sandstorm blasts through the sands, carrying the lost city of Jlindan within it. The city of Jlindan was an exotic and well known trade city, until a group of demons known as the Thj'onin took control of it. Shortly after, the city was engulfed in the sandstorm, and not even the demons could escape its winds.

Directions

To get to this zone, you must find the sandstorm located within The Great Eastern Desert. Once inside, you will notice nomads wandering around, setting up camps and what not. You will need to find a key, located within a harness inside their camps, to get into the sewers. So, find the tents, get the harnesses, and get the key out from it. After that, the dirs through the sandstorm are e2s2wns2esns2w.

Once inside the city of Jlindan, Lithijin will confront you. Kill him, then he will open the tempest. From where the sandstorm directions take you, it is wn3e. This again, leads to another maze. The riddle to this maze is nswen and leads to Eridale herself.

Lithijin: a pair of gray, brigandine sleeves(10hp 1hit 5acap)
Eridale: collar, darkrune, key
a black shield of Stygian silver: 20hp 1dex

She casts balefire and tries to summon you back when you flee. Upon her death, she will load a smokey gateway which leads to Sythriel. He is right inside.

Sythriel: The Oblivion Sword(4dam 15mana despair: 4%)
a black helmet of Stygian silver
The Ring of Storms

After he is dead, enter the gateway he creates and leave the area. Go to the room 2w of tempest gateway. Unlock thegrate, open it, and head into Fysechek's Sewers. Be careful down here, Fysechek hurts sometimes. He loads 4str gauntlets, a key, and a hammer that weaves desecrate upon you, it is !use by us. He may leave the sewers, but will go back. He hunts. There are 4 doors in the sewers. One, leads to Vendessa. Another, to Axcreshura. Another to Ixyshyn. And the last leads to Tsavirin. To get to Vendessa, you need Eridale's key. To get to Axcreshura, you need Fysechek's key. To get to Tsavirin, you need Vendessa's key. And to get to Ixyshyn, you don't need a key. Choose whichever you want to do first, but I will do Ixyshyn.

Ixyshyn: hide of ixyshyn ( ) (pelts to make shield of ixyshyn, see on pelt list)
Oculus of Nanon

Ixyshyn, from the entrance to the sewers, is located e2nes. The area is crawling with coralvipers, and 1 black urchin. Also, it is underwater. The black urchin blocks the entrance to Ixyshyn, so you have to kill him. Once dead, you enter the ruins, but be warned, this does massive damage, it is trapped, so try to get a thief/bard to remove trap it if possible.

In Ixyshyn's room, you will notice the words "GIJKAQUARIN". This will help you later in the zone, as it is Jaefis's real name. After he dies, exit the ruins, and head all the way up to where you originally entered. From there, go ne2sw2sw. Unlock the door down and follow the path down to Axcreshura.

Axcreshura: talon of Axcreshura, eye of Axcreshura

Exit this area to where you entered it. Go swn2wnw, unlock the door, and go up. To the north is blocking mobs. Kill 3 of them and Vendessa will be south.

Vendessa: Mortis Band, cold iron collar, key

Now exit this area. Go nenese2nw, unlock the door north, open the door, then go north, unlock the door up open the door up. This leads to Tsavirin. The mobs around him block. Kill a scorpion, go down, and find him. He loads nothing useful, but does load a key. He also closes doors and locks them, which could leave you in a bind. So take his key, and go back up the way you killed a scorpion, go to the middle room, unlock the door, and open it. Go usenwn. Here you will find an array of switches. Opening them in the correct order will create a portal to Cassarus. The order of the switches are as follows:

1.switch (black), 5.switch (red), 2.switch (white). Go back to where you came up from Tsavirin's area, unlock the door north, open it, and enter Andarion's Courtyard. From when you enter, travel ewwse. It is important you Bow to Andarion, or he will restore.

Andarion: a crimson, silk ribbon, masamune

Enter the gateway in his room, and enter doors until you get to Cassarus.

Cassarus: a smoke-colored sand bracelet (hp 10, damroll: 1 DetTrap)
a black, demonbone scythe known as 'Nihilstorm'(5d3 mana: 20 damroll: 3 despair 8%)

Exit this area go to the room where you go down to get to Fysechek's Sewers. Travel w2s, open the door, then go west again. This is where you will use the information from Ixyshyn's room. Say GIJKAQUARIN and Jaefis will go to his room. So from the Scholar, go e2ne5nenw2u and you will be at Jaefis. While fighting him, he will become vengeance shrouded, so it could hurt.

Jaefis: the Helm of Jaefis (1dam sskin)
tempestforge
spiked leg greaves (1str, 1dam)
key

Use his key to unlock the door to the north. Go north and enter the gateway. I cannot stress this enough, so DO NOT LOOK AT SERAPHIM. If you do, she will instantly kill you. However, she pelts. So she is worth killing.

Seraphim: a golden blade of light named 'The Sword of Holy Vision'(2d6 4dam 15mana SenseLife)
golden circlet of light: 20 mana nosummon ffall
a ghostly heart, glowing with flame, 'The Heart of the Zealot' (-1dam -13mana fshield(elfable))

That is it for the zone.
