Into the Island

Guide of the Proving Grounds

Entering Bloodbane's Island

The island itself is surrounded by a large reef, rendering the island all but isolated form the world around it. Adventurers have located a single path though this reef however, it is believed the entrance it located near 1280, 740 on one's sextant (see the path into Irda Isle by Dunsell). From this reading head north and east, the path through the reef has been described by one person as vertically wave shifting from Northeast to Northwest. To traverse the reef it is suggested to follow it's east side. The Reef's Maze has been worn by adventurers and should cause little trouble to new comers after a few tries through. It should be noted that any attempt to reach the island itself with out going through this portion of the reef has proven futile in several occasions.

Once through the reef there is a set of docks. Why the docks are present we are not certain as a boat would have a large amount of trouble reaching them through the reef. The docks connect to the forest outside of the Castle Bloodbane, so named after the Baron who resides inside)

From the Dock entrance follow the path to the Castle's Drawbridge:

2E; NE; E; 2NE; 3N; 3E; N; 4E; 2N; 2W; N; 8W; 12N

When you reach the drawbridge you may go north into the Castle of Lord Bloodbane or you may continue to the moat before the Proving grounds. To continue to the proving grounds go

S; 7E; S; E; S; E; S; E; S; 4E; 2N; E; 2N; E; 2N; D; D; 3N; E; N

This will take you to the Lake. it is imperative that you levitate and have invisibility (sneaking also helps) to traverse the lake, and the whirlpools it contains go

N; 3W; 3S; W; S; W; S; W ; S;

W; E; E; W; S; E; W; W; W; S; S; W; N; W

You will be attacked by eels along this path so be prepared for a small fight

If all goes right you should now be at 'Before the moat'
