- ↑ While the stable-master route denotes The Steepset, aka Zidir-nesad, which is in a level 131-140 area of Mattugard in Gundabad, in actual fact the endpoint is the Hall of Vérnozal, which is a mission hub and closed off from the Steepset area, unless the character is sufficiently-high level to pass through the connecting portal.
