Creatures

There are not many creatures in this area. All are located on the far side of the lake and are nominally "quest targets."

The following creatures are found within these borders:

• Slippery Toad
• Vengeful Toad (replace the Slippery Toads after completing and returning after the 'Escape from Isengard' quest)
• Crawling Avanc
• Enraged Avanc (replace the Crawling Avanc after completing and returning after the 'Escape from Isengard' quest)
• Tâl Methedras Ox

Notes

• Boats are available on the lake shore to fast travel from the eastern side of the lake by Tûr Morva to the western side and back. This helps when completing the quests requiring travel to the western area. After returning after completing the quest Escape from Isengard, the boats will no longer be present.
• The resource nodes are not present until after completion of the quest stage Escape from Isengard. After returning there will now be both ore and log nodes in the area.

Lore

The Falcon Clan has thus far resisted the advances of Saruman and has attempted to warn the Brenin of the Algraig, in Lhanuch.
