Tsoran's map

Old Ta'Faendryl is the ruined city of the Faendryl elves. The city was once considered the capital of the Elven Empire. First established by Korthyr Faendryl, Patriarch I of House Faendryl in year -48,897, it was eventually abandoned by in year -15,185 when they were exiled by the other six Elven Houses.

The ruins are inhabited by an interdimensional species known as the ithzir.

Geography

Characters must be at least level 73 to pass the magical barrier.

Reaching Old Ta'Faendryl requires skill in Swimming. 25-30 ranks are generally sufficient for unencumbered characters, depending on other factors like Physical Fitness and Strength. It is not possible to bypass the swim with Symbol of Seeking (in contrast to Nelemar and The Rift), but it is possible to bypass the swim on the way out with teleportation abilities like Spirit Guide, Symbol of Return, or gold rings from outside the barrier. It is unknown whether Water Walking helps with the swim, but characters must still go through the same swim process if that spell is active. If you enter the swim with something in your hand, you may drop it. If that happens, SEARCH MUCK to try to find what you dropped.

All of Old Ta'Faendryl is considered part of the same realm. The cottage in the west woods is safe from creatures and is the primary realm anchor for Spirit Guide and Voln's Symbol of Return. Clerics may use a Nexus gem to return to town or an alternate location outside of Old Ta'Faendryl as well.

Most of the Ithzir, griffins, and constructs usually congregrate in the main central portion near the Market and the Basilica. The north woods have the highest level creatures (champions which are unique to the north woods, as well as adepts, seers, war griffins, and greater constructs). The east and west woods have lower level creatures such as gremlocks, lesser constructs, and (at night) lich qyn'arj, with some occasional Ithzir wandering in. The aqueducts contain gremlocks, festering taints, and various beings.

Some rooms are considered submerged in water and may react violently to the use of electrical effects.

Tsoran's map of the area is incomplete and there are rooms not shown, in particular around the east woods and the western aqueducts.
