Story/History:[]
- Long ago a powerful young sorceress pushed the known limits of her craft beyond what was perhaps wise. She created a potent new spell, a variation on the simple magic missile which could find its target at any range, no matter how distant. Her missiles, however, were special. Iris intended to merely extend the range of her spell, but the incantation had an unforeseen bonus. Her magic missile somehow utilized temporal mechanics to achieve its unlimited range. It is always unwise to play with forces as elemental as Time itself. Her spell also did damage in proportion to the age of its target. Thus her spell, which would scarcely harm a normal human or even a longer-lived creature such as an elf or dwarf, could have catastrophic impact on beings far older.
- After throwing a few spells at her former classmates and an unkind mentor, she ignorantly chose to target someone more powerful. The god she chose to target next was a well-known trickster and rogue. Everyone knew he had quite a sense of humor. Unfortunately, her poorly conceived spell completely obliterated him. His family was not amused. As a punishment for her crime they trapped her soul in a sword, shattered it, and created a magical prison to house the pieces. They created the prison in the form of a verdant green hedge maze in honor of their clever, brother who always loved green growing things.
Mobs:[]
- demonic, enchanted yew, a variety of butterflies, minion of Iris, long-eared hare, the head and torso of a troll, a troll's left hand (aggro), *a troll's right hand (aggro), a troll's left leg (aggro), a troll's right leg (aggro), *Edwin, the haggard cityguard, blind gardener (shard of a broken blade), young basilisk, corpse of an adult basilisk, shrike (bird)
Assembly Quest Items:[]
- There are three main assembly quest items in the Emerald Maze: the Shimmering Steel Broadsword, the Possessed Broadsword , and the Sentient Broadsword "Iris Godbane"
General Zone Strategies:[]
- Use a tracker (warrior, ranger, thief, or jedi) to quickly find the mobiles that load assembly quest items.
- Every room in this zone is !magic. To exit, you'll need an external summons out, or use the maze exits denoted on the maps below. Beware! The terrain movement demands have been increased inside the Emerald Maze, and if you're not careful, you can easily run out of moves. For striking Soheis, this could prove challenging.
- To move betwen mazes one and two, you'll need to find the obelisk in the first maze, then walk directly south as far as you can go (four squares), then retrace your steps to the first obelisk. When you arrive at the location of the original obelisk you will have been transported to the second maze.
- Make sure you grab the Iris' Focus Stone from the campfire. A nice regen holdable that loads per zone reset in the campfire.
- To collect the globe artichokes, find a stand of giant thistles and issue the command:
> hit thistle
