Mobs

These mobs are encountered within this location:

• Carangam
• Khundolar Marauder
• Khundolar Soul-reaver

• Shackled Oath-breaker (The Wold)

• Khundolar Thought-keeper
• Khundolar War-captain

Tactics

Carangam on level seem unbeatable, since they have a LOT of health and they deal above the amount of the player character's morale in damage in one shot. There are six of them in the instance and they make a fast circuit around the area, stopping only to drop Cargul Runes, which are necessary items for the quest The Ford: Defiled Runes. There are three set paths, and taking note of these paths is a good idea in order to easily avoid them and also quickly find the dropped runes. The shortest and longest path only have one Carangam that patrol them but the middle-length path has four, and because of irregular stops it is possible to encounter several in quick succession. In close proximity they increase Dread by 3, alerting the player to the possibility of coming into contact with one.

Lore

The Easterlings have setup a camp across the river north-east of here. This would not normally be troubling, as the rivers current is swift and unforgiving, but this one is placed near a safe crossing. My scouts have also reported seeing several Cargûl amongst the warriors. These foul creatures follow and serve the darkest and most powerful of the Enemies leader. Their presence troubles me greatly
