General

On July 17th, 2009 at around 12.30AM EST, A Global went out that Ries Woron found a Thug Hideout at 65.8S 77.2E near Mayoi.

There is a white portal dungeon at those coords (restricted levels 5+). The dungeon is no log and no recall/tie/summon.
- Route: Mayoi to Vesayen Overlook Settlement Portal (60.8S, 80.3E) to the dungeon at 65.8S, 77.2E.
The dungeon is full of Thugs and Thug Bosses, which do not respawn after killed. Kill all the Thugs as you go through the dungeon
Move north through the dungeon. First you come two doors with a hallway in between. Use the lever by the first door and run through a hallway where fire spits out of the ground (fire doesn't seem to do damage).
Continue north and kill Thug Bosses in the next section of the dungeon. One will drop a First Gate Key. Use the key to open the First Gate.
In the next section of the the dungeon there are 2 rooms with rows of chests. From the First Gate keep left and you'll enter one of those rooms. Go to the third chest from the end of the row of chests and open it with lockpick (difficulty 500). Inside the chest will be the Second Gate Key that has 2 uses. Use it to open the Second Gate.
- Note: You cannot tell which chest has the key based on the chest's burden (they all say 9000). The key in the chest respawns continually so unlike the First Gate Key you can get as many as you like.
Once you enter the second gate you will hit what appears to be a floor trigger that spawns a mana barrier in front of the next gate also called the Second Gate. The Barrier has a 15(?) second count down timer before it disappears.
Ries Woron and The Unknown Warrior are in the room beyond the barrier/gate. The Unknown Warrior kills Ries then turns and points at the door then he disappears along with the mana barrier. Open the Second Gate with the Second Gate Key.
The dungeon continues northward with more Thugs but there are no more bosses or NPCs. The last room is the throne room. Also the pit below where Ries dies cannot be gotten out of if you jump down there.
Carolyn Woron spawns in the center of Lin at 54.5S, 73.1E to distribute rewards. She appears exactly 45 minutes after the first global goes out, possibly based on the number of thugs killed. There is a global message that announces when she appears.

The daughter of Ries Woron has arrived in Lin and wishes to reward those who helped her father.
