Factions
There are two main forces in conflict in this zone: The Rilissians of the Sathirian Empire, against the Di'Zok Sarnak of Bathezid's Watch. In addition, there are two other more internecine conflicts: The Exiles of Droga against their former community, the Goblins of the Mines of Nurga, and Bellywhumper Burynai against their cousins, the Bonediggers of the Field of Bone.
While it is possible, and desirable, to become an ally of all four of these factions, it is almost impossible to do so before you have leveled out of the zone.
There are a few other groups in this zone that do not have defined factions but are worth noting here:
- The Frogloks of Reet - Preyed on heavily by the Rilissian slavers, these frogloks are fighting for their very existence in this zone. Many of their former villages in the Swamp of No Hope stand abandoned as they have moved into more defensible positions in the hills.
- The Teren fishermen of Omen's Call - This small village and trading post out of Teren's Grasp maintains a very tenuous position between the Iksar and Sarnak.
- Rilissian Bandits - These dishonored exiles live in the hills west of Riliss, endangering caravans and the unwary traveler.
- Sarnshak Rebels - Di'Zok deserters, they maintain a strong camp in the hills between Riliss and the Field of Bone.
- Nurgan Goblins - Based at the Mines of Nurga, these goblins have numerous scouts and foragers as far as the Rilissian Lowlands and seem to have some kind of an agreement with the Rilissian Bandits.
- Bonedigger Burynai - Found only in the Field of Bone.
- Kromdek Giants - These Hill and Forest Giants live in Camp Kromdek, a large camp on the west side of the Field of Bone. They seem to be very active in mining and foresting, but there are no foundry or mill operations in sight.
Riliss
Assistant Vihl at Kylong Post has a task for you that will give you enough of a faction boost to be able to use the roads without worrying about becoming lodged between the toes of the rhinos ridden by the omnipresent Rilissian sentries.
Bathezid's Watch
It is worth mentioning, in case, after the Di'Zok of Kylong Plains, you think poorly of the Sarnak military, that Bathezid's Watch has stood for years against the considerable focused might of the Sathirian Empire. To begin your quest for faction with this fortress, speak with Outrider Kelgyn on the path from Kylong Post to Bathezid's Watch. There are many Sarnak on the path, and you will be KOS to all of them initially, but there are gaps in the pathing of the mobs. Be patient and you can easily reach Kelgyn.
Note: So great is the Bathezid's dislike of the Yha'lei fishmen that, upon first arriving in the Fens, if you kill just 2 fish men the Di'zok of Bathezid's Watch will immediately count you as, if not a friend, at least someone worth allowing to live!
Exiles of Droga
An odd partnership, the residents of this camp are all exiles from Mines of Nurga or Camp Kromdek. Who knew Giants and Goblins could be friends?
The Bellywhumpers
Friendly Burynai, these badgers are always hungry and, because of the meanness of their cousins, the Bonediggers, they cannot forage in the Field of Bone so they need your help!

The Sheet
| Game Update #52 |
|---|
| Monument and Might |
There are 2 containers at this camp next to the Dwarf NPC quest mob. Examine the containers to receive 2 repeatable quests. Each repetition rewards some coin and +800 faction with The Order of Rime. Which quests you get depend on your current faction level.
You need to be wearing your mask to get the quests until you have high faction. If you can't get the quests, then your mask needs to be refreshed. Your mask only works as long as your faction is worse than -8800 without it. That is also around the time you get sent to Jarsath Wastes (see below for JW).
- Faction less than: Ally (+20,000) with Mask
- Filling a Bone Box (74) - from a crate of bones
- A Pincher's Venom (75) - from a cask of venom sacs
- Faction greater than Ally (+20,000) with Mask
- ??? (74) - from a crate of bones
- ??? (75) - from a cask of venom sacs
- Elemental Task (73) - Gather samples of the four elementals within the Fens of Nathsar.
He also gives important quests at different faction levels that advance the game story and questlines. Be sure and check for quest feather every time you turn in bones and venom sacs to the dwarf across from him.
When your faction is high enough he will send you to Jarsath Waste with a supply quest. The Rime camp in JW is to the west of the Howling Stones sokokar post by the river. The quest line picks up there.
