Cragstone
Cragstone is under attack by drudges!
Cragstone is the capital city of the Aluvian Realm. It is named after Thorsten Cragstone, a fallen hero of the Olthoi rebellion. Cragstone was the first above-ground settlement of the Isparians, which they settled after moving out of the nearby Underground City on the Isle of Tears on Lake Blessed. Besides the standard vendors, collectors, and quest NPCs, Cragstone is home to the Aluvian Library where the translator of Yalaini text lives. The Arcanum's Aluvian furniture shop is also just outside of town.
During the Shadow Wars, Cragstone was attacked by a Shadow Spire at the same time as Arwic and Tufa. Elysa Strathelar, Asheron, and the advocates were able to destroy the Shadow Spire and save Cragstone, but Arwic and Tufa were not so lucky.
Recently, the drudges have build a large fort west of town and have sent constant raiding parties into town.
Getting to Cragstone
Cragstone portals are located in Hebian-To, Zaikhal, and Holtburg, as well as the Abandoned Mine dungeon, aka Subway, Sub, or Hub, depending on your server. Additionally, Cragstone can be reached via the Sanctum Residential Halls, but as the only other towns connected to the quarters are Hebian-To and Zaikhal, it's usefulness is limited.
Cragstone can also be reached via the Effigy Foundary, one of the Statue Dungeons, connected to via the statue portals in the towns of Hebian-To, Zaikhal, Tou-Tou, Glendon Wood, Eastham, Khayyaban, Lin, Al-Jalima, Uziz, and of course Cragstone itself.
Portal Connections
Cragstone has portals to Hebian-To and Zaikhal. These can also be reached through the Sanctum Residential Halls portal.
