Another round of creepy, crawly, dark and damp dungeon walkthroughs. Actually, it is the dungeons that are dark and damp, not the walkthroughs. You get the creepy and crawly idea, so check out the latest in the final installment, Part 3!

"I'd lost most of my breakfast and all of my lunch to the rocking waves by the time the lookout called down that he could see land. Straining my eyes into the mist ahead, I wondered for a moment if the spray from the waves had deceived him.

"Then I saw it! A shoreline as green as emerald and as idyllic as a painting. The Gaen Vale, at last. Soon my eyes will be gifted with the sight of the Everqueen. Let us hope that I do not lose my heart to her High Elf beauty."
-- Becker Hess, Envoy of Karl Franz

Lost Vale

The Lost Vale is suitable for a group of 6 level 40 characters.

Entrance Location
Though the voyage is a treacherous one, it is rumored that there are boats along Avelorn's coast that will take stout adventurers to the Lost Vale.

Theme
The corruption of beauty and light is at the center of the Lost Vale. Once a place of peace, tranquility, and natural beauty, the Vale now stands as an example of shameless evil. The Everqueen is somewhere within, though none can say if she is the same woman who once graced the woodlands of Avelorn. The High Elves fear the worst, for Alarielle is as a mother to them all."

"Treachery most foul has conquered the land of my youth! What can be responsible for this vileness? Who is to pay for the Vale's disgrace?!"

The Elysium
    

Entrance Location

The Elysium is located within the Inevitable City, in the Lost Narrows.

"A garden, you say? You may as well say that the Elysium's just another plot where farmers grow daffodils and pick weeds. A garden! Ha!

"It's the Elysium, son. It's a haven of evil within a den of iniquity. No one but Aekold Helbrass enters the place, and only a few but him leave thought its doors. A twisted, tortured thing is Aekold, but he will never admit such. Tzeentch has taken from him his soul, and with it his humility."
-- Greta Naumann, Keeper of Rolls, Altdorf Library

Theme
The Champion of Tzeentch, Aekold Helbrass, holds court within the Elysium in the Inevitable City. The "Gift of Life," granted by Chaos' warping power, is a curse Aekold bears for all eternity. As he walks, flowers and shrubs spring from the barren ground he has trodden.

"Are you a thief who dares enter my secret place uninvited? Or are you an assassin, sent by the lords of Order to see me killed?

"It is sad for you that I cannot be killed. Here, let me show you. Not even Windblade can bite me so deeply that I expire.

"You, on the other hand, will not be so lucky. Come, Windblade, let us teach this pup a lesson."

-- Aekold Helbrass to a short-lived intruder

The Screaming Cat Tavern   

Entrance Location
The Screaming Cat is located along the southeastern docks of Altdorf, marked by a black cat's silhouette over the door. One need only follow their nose to find the exact location.

"I've a mind to knock some sense into that manling, one fist at a time."
"It's hardly worth the effort, Gotrek. You might as well let him go."
"I don't never let an insult slide!"
"Now, now. I don't think he intended any insult."
"Didn't intend it? Bollocks! Why'd he have the wench serve up that watery ale, then?"
"It was a mistake, Gotrek, as sure as Morrslieb's made of cheese."
-- Gotrek Gurnisson and Felix Jaeger, overheard in the Screaming Cat Tavern

Theme
The Screaming Cat is the favorite watering hole of the Slayer Gotrek Gurnisson and his human companion Felix Jaeger. When the two come to Altdorf, they spend a good bit of their time drinking and fishing for gossip within the tavern's musty interior. When navigating the tavern's smoke-filled and bustling interior, one must take care not to step upon one of the many sleeping cats scattered throughout.

"I won't drink in that place. Ain't no way I'd ever stoop to it. It's not that they've got bad beer, mind you. It's just that all them cats make me sneeze like a madman."
-- Kristoph Boer, Sailor

The Altdorf Palace
    
Entrance Location
The Altdorf Palace is a reminder of the Empire's power, at it can be seen from much of Altdorf. The Emperor bides his time within the relative security of the Palace, as do his guests and most trusted advisors.

"Talk about majesty! I've never seen such an opulent palace! I even saw the Emperor, but I couldn't speak to him. He's a busy man and his guards keep everyone at bay. Still, the wine was excellent, and the oysters were as fresh as if they'd been pulled out of the Great Ocean that morning."
-- Elizabeth DuVall, Courtier

Theme
If the forces of Destruction are to conquer Altdorf, then they must succeed in seeing the Emperor brought to ruin within the walls of his palace. There can be no other substitute for victory.

"The palace is merely another man-made edifice guarded by mortal warriors. It cannot stand against the power of Chaos. I have read it in the steaming entrails of a slain Bloodletter; I have heard it whispered of on the northern wind; I have seen it in the swirling mists that eddy eternally below the Inevitable City. Our victory is as predictable as the rising and setting of the sun and moons."

-- Liam the Hellcaller, Magus of Tzeentch

The Eternal Citadel
    
Entrance Location
Tchar'zanek's Citadel stands tall and terrifying in the northernmost portion of the Inevitable City. It can be seen from almost any part of the city, which makes it all the more oppressive.

"The Empire swine will never break us. On the contrary, the Inevitable City will break them. So I say, 'Let them come.' The sooner my blade tastes the blood of Franz's lapdogs, the sooner the Daemon within will slake its thirst."
-- Thaezu Redfang, Chosen of Khorne

Theme
The Eternal Citadel's halls are patrolled by deadly sentries, and roving eyes are everywhere. Tchar'zanek poses the largest threat to Order, and even without his Citadel's defenses he is a power to be reckoned with. Let none who cherish their lives face Tzeentch's chosen champion alone. For those that do, seeking to spill Tchar'zanek's blood, may Sigmar watch over them as they are torn asunder.

"We'll find naught but madness and death in that place, mark my words. I'll still fight and I'll die as a screamin' lunatic with the name of my mother on my ravin' lips, but at least I'll go to my grave a man of the Empire and not a cowardly little skell like you."

-- Wilhelm Schurmann, Emperor's 5th Fusiliers
