	[[River's Rest]] is a small, isolated town in the farthest southwestern corner of [[Elanthia]] normally available to access by players. Without a [[Premium]] subscription, it is impossible to start a character in this town. Even travel to and from the town is considered a game secret, but rumors abound that the fastest way to get there is by water. There are no jobs for novice adventurers (such as delivering messages, making iron, etc.) beyond the normal [[Adventurer's Guild\|bounty system]]. There is also no way to join a [[society]], although there are small outposts nearby for inducted members. There are, however, plenty of creatures to hunt over a wide range, from [[giant rat]]s and [[pale crab]]s all the way up to the toughest local foes, [[putrefied Citadel herald]]s and [[phantasmal bestial swordsman\|phantasmal bestial swordsmen]]. There's even a [[Starchitin's Guide to Hunting the Rest\|Guide to Hunting in the Rest]]. New and experienced players alike may find the ways of the town quaint, but usually it isn't too difficult to make friends, hear some local lore, get help with bounties, or ask for some [[buff spells]]. It is assured on your first visit to our lovely town, you will understand why they keep us locked up and isolated. Whether this is exactly what you were looking for or something to send you running away screaming (or immobile owing to probable death), only you can determine for yourself.

	If you die or wish to rescue a fallen adventurer, getting the body back town can be a challenge of its own. Besides the indigenous creatures, rescues near the [[Citadel]] are fairly straight-forward. The [[Karazja Jungle]] constantly shifts its form for most of the areas, so without [[Transference (225)]], finding the corpse may be a challenge, and a similar challenge is faced to get back out. Bodies cannot be dragged past the grate which leads to the [[Krolvin Ship]]. Dragging bodies is also not possible across [[Maelstrom Bay]] without the dragger having the [[Water Walking (112)]] spell active. However, dragging is totally impossible almost anywhere on the [[Krolvin Carrack]], even into a [[Familiar Gate (930)]] or [[Planar Shift (740)\|planar rift]]. Dragging without Water Walking is also difficult in some areas outside the [[Marsh Keep]], and even succeeding at getting outside the Keep, one will have to traverse both the Spectral Mists and Ghostly Trees in the [[Miasmal Forest]] to get a corpse to the other side of the fallen log. Of course, dying in the Miasmal mazes is a nuisance in itself, and the rescuer will need to find the body; dying in this area is generally complicated by the tendency of wights to drag corpses and bog trolls to hide the corpses in the muck (preventing [[Locate Person (116)]] or [[Symbol of Sight]]). Various direct means, either field raises or outgoing teleportation ([[Spirit Guide (130)]], [[Traveler's Song (1020)]], [[Aid The Fallen (1620)]], and [[Symbol of Return]]) are usually preferred if not strictly required.
