Story/History:

Out of the Shadow Storm, outside of Skara Brae, lies the noble forest of Arden, part of the mythical Realm of Amber. Protecting this plane from annihilation by the great Chaos, Prince Gerard and his followers are ever-vigilant. The forest remains mostly unexplored by mere mortals, but rumors abound of two powerful princes out patrolling the forest paths with their hunting parties. Explorers are encouraged to be wary as they enter such an unexplored and presumably dangerous realm.

At the northernmost edge of the forest is a sign:

The Kingdom of Amber, the Courts of Chaos and the Undersea Kingdom 
of Rebma are still under construction by Dworkin and Oberon. We hope to 
have them completed someday, but until then you'll have to 
content yourself with what's here. 
                                Happy Adventuring,
                                        Scarabus and Nymphia

Clues to the Decanter Assembly Quest

The elven pilgrim carries a travel-stained book that provides clues to the Decanter (portable fountain) assembly quest.

In a tiny, smudged, often indecipherable hand, the pilgrim has recorded 
 the daily details of his many years of travel.  On the page for today, 
 he has noted that he is now in search of the famous spring of Saint
 Patrick, where it is said that with the proper holy blessings and the 
 dust of the most precious of gemstones one might be able to restore lost 
 enchantments to magical items which once flowed with water from that spring.

Mobs of Note:

Bugs Bunny - (carrot), Elmer Fudd - (hunting hat), pilgrim - (travel-stained book), Prince Gerard - (Gerard's Untakeable Ring , Hunter's Blade ) Prince Julian - (Julian's Blade , Lightning-Scorched Drake Leggings ) The Hunter - (Hunter's Blade) Unicorn - (unicorn horn)

General Zone Strategies:

Track to Gerard for his ring. You'll need to animate the corpse in order to get the ring, as it is an !take object. You can optionally put Gerard's corpse in a large container and wait for it to dissolve. The zone is only accessible via the shadow storm (or teleportation). You'll need to recall or be summoned out. Visit the Happy Camp and leave your name carved in the Alder Tree.
