Overview

East Commonlands Tunnel

East Commonlands is located directly outside the western gate of Freeport (Location) and is the first step into making the trek across Antonica (Location) to Qeynos (Location). Nektulos Forest (Location) lies to the north, and a long tunnel to the south leads to the Desert of Ro. Many young humans will test their new skills against the bears, snakes, spiders, undead, and camps of Deathfist orcs found throughout the hills. Inns and merchants can be found scattered throughout the hills, giving rest and replenishment to travelers. Before The Bazaar was founded on the moon of Luclin (Location), the East Commons tunnel was often the place to buy, sell, and trade all kinds of items. The corrupt Freeport guards, most notably Sergeant Slate, would often wreak havoc on the ogres and trolls attempting to sell their wares in the tunnel.

West Commonlands is a bit more dangerous than the eastern half. The deadly Kithicor Forest (Location) lies to the west, while Befallen (Location) lies buried in the sand to the south. Along with the Deathfist orcs, several camps of Dervish Cutthroats threaten the passers by. Occasionally, a hill giant may be found roaming the hills killing adventurers without predjudice, and a roaming dragoon from Neriak (Location) will crush most good-natured travelers. The main road leading to and from Freeport is blocked by a tollbooth set up by the corrupt Freeport Militia. Western Commonlands a teleport destination for both druids and wizards.

On December 5, 2006, East and West Commonlands were merged into one revamped zone.

Map of The Commonlands

During the Age of Destiny, the Commonlands remained mostly unaffected by the cataclysm. Refugees that chose to make Freeport (Location) their home used the Commonlands to hone their fledgling abilities and skills before venturing further from the city and into the broken lands beyond.
