E3 Walkthrough

Corak's Notes on E3:

The Evermoors and Shadowmire suffer a special curse. An ambitious young Cleric once challenged the rule of Greywind the Illusionist and was exiled to the Evermoors. But even in exile the young mage's ambitions ran strong, so he was transformed into a tree in hopes of quenching his thirst for power. Legend says his bitterness ran so deep it infected the rest of the trees and turned the against all Clerics.

Monsters in the area: Tree Golems, Cursed Fools.

Map of E3

Quicksand!

Treasure!

Ah, the Evermoors. Not a very hospitable area by any means. The Tree Golems and the Cursed Fools aren't too much of a threat, but the biggest annoyance here is the quicksand. Step into any of the areas marked on the map with a 1, and your two lead party members will sink into the quicksand and die. Just like that, without any warning. Definately one of the most annoying traps in the game. So be careful where you thread, and try to stick to the mountain or water areas to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

Speaking of the water areas, you should swim around a bit in those to find the hidden treasure, also indicated on the map. From north to south, the treasures you'll find are:

* 25000 gold and 5 random items;
* 10000 gold, 500 gems and 1 random item;
* 4000 gold, 200 gems, and 1 random item;
* 5000 gold, 10 gems, and 1 random item.

And that's it, really. No monster lairs or anything else remotely interesting in the area. Just treasure to collect and quicksand to watch out for. Once you've collected all the goodies, it's probably best to avoid this area altogether in the future, as it's very possible you'll forget all about the quicksand and blunder into it later. Wouldn't be the first time for me...
