Description

Situated between the Luxon capital of Cavalon and the Gyala Hatchery are the winding Maishang Hills. Mobile patrols of Naga are everywhere. Every few twists of the tricky mountain passes brings you face to face with an Island Guardian and his flock of Rot Wallows. Near the shores of the Jade Sea are the dreaded Kappa. The air is thick with corruption, and travelers who have no means of dealing with conditions will meet a quick end.

Shrines and Blessings

• Dwayna: Southwest, by Archipelagos².

• Lyssa: Center².
• Melandru: Southeast, by Gyala Hatchery (outpost)¹.

2. Unoccupied shrine.

Notes

• Vanquishers must defeat 169-283 enemies in this area.
  • Vanquishing this area will net approximately 21,000 Luxon Faction per run in hard mode, if you take both quests and kill most of the area's Tigers and Reef Lurkers (they will yield about 1250 points by themselves). Clearing the area takes about an hour.
• The shrine just outside of Eredon Terrace appears to have both a Balthazar statue and a Dwayna statue overlapping each other. The avatar summoned will be that of Balthazar.
