You’ll find yourself in a large depression (described below). This world is infested by bits of Moander, that you should evade, and groups of assorted humans like dark lords, banite clerics, red mages and black mages. When you encounter a human band you should attack it. This is a good way to receive some useful weapons because you’re naked again. You can rest and heal anywhere but it’s very difficult to remain undisturbed here. It’s better to wait for a safely place inside one of the buildings or make a trip back through the portal. All the buildings, except for the Heart, are described on the next page. Follow the instructions carefully and soon you’ll be well equipped and ready to dispatch another Bane’s Lieutenants.
