Ravelin

Map of Ravelin

For a map of the area including Mistydeep River and Sorcerer's Isle, see GSGuide.

The Ravelin is a small town in the Elven Nations region, located a bit north/northwest of Ta'Vaalor.

The Ravelin was originally the fortress only at the top of the bluff. It was built to keep an eye on traffic in the Mistydeep and exert Vaaloran control over it. Over the centuries, the local shops that serviced the fort became a small village and recreational area for Vaalorans to escape the Fortress in the summer and enjoy fresh air. The architecture is more relaxed and natural than that of the Fortress.

Non-Player Characters (NPCs)

"a hunched elderly elf"

Wizened and hunched with age, this elf nonetheless has a keen eye and steady hands. Dressed in a simple linen tunic partly covered by an old green cape, he wanders about aimlessly, as though looking for something long lost.

"a tall elven woman"

Tall and strongly built, Lilly moves with the grace and surety of one who has lived long and seen much. Her slender face, framed by tresses of golden blonde hair neatly tied back, is open and friendly, but her eyes miss nothing occurring within her domain.

"a sleek red squirrel"

You see a fairly typical red squirrel. It appears to be in good shape. It has nothing at this time.

• On The Day of the Huntress, the 17th day of Phoenatos, in the year 5107 (August 17th, 2007), the Neartofar orcs successfully lay claim to the Ravelin and begin to create defensive barricades, protected by a strong magic.
