| Fort Emerald |
This fort shields the Great Cave from the wild Slithzerikai to the north.
| Person | Function | Items, Quests and Notes | Rating |
| Moe | Quartermaster | He is willing to talk to you a bit but has no useful information. Although he is not allowed to sell you any of the suppleis he looks after, he will buy your loot for the normal price. | |
| Hodgson | Ward | He will tell you about a patch of Greymould where three rivers in the north meet and asks you to tell him if it still exists. If you do so he will reward you with about 40xp. He will also give you a quest to find arenea fangs for which you get 100 coins, 2 Curing Elixirs and around 40xp for one pair. The remainder you must sell. (Aife in Fort Draco gives you 50 coins apiece for them.) | Quest |
| Scarlet | Captain | Commander of the fort. Will tell you a bit about the Slith fortification to the north and is most offended if you ask her if there is anything you can do to help: | |
| Silverio | Mage | She is sitting in front of the emerald in the centre of the fort, staring into it and recomends you to do likewise. If you question her further she will tell you about the capture of Grah-Hoth in the the now shattered fort (Akhronath) and that a body with a royal seal is entombed there. She advises you to talk to Rone in the Castle and Patrick about it. | |
| Randal | Liason | He is hiding in a room to the West. Actually he says he is not hiding but he does not seem to like being out and about. He would much rather be pushing a pen in the Castle than travelling between Fort Emerald and Dranlon. | |
| Eleanor | Actress | Like most stage people she talks a lot and tells you nothing about such things as the first expedition, the Royal Seal und the Demonslayer. If you are persistant, however, she will train you in Gymnastics and Quick Action. |

| Slith | Prisoner | This defiant Slith prisoner honours and worships Sss-Thsss. | |
| Matthias | Mage | Works on strengthening the barriers but will not teach you to dispel them. | Quest |
It is always a good idea to talk to everybody. The following notes give hints on hidden rooms, traps and puzzles.
There are some Healing Herbs outside the main gate to th SE and a few mudane items lying around or in chests.
Resting and meditating before the emerald will give you a Cloak of Arcane which lasts until either you cast another cloak by spell or scroll or enter a friendly town.
She is the innkeeper in Cotra. She does not like being reminded of Matthias. If you do speak to her and report back to Matthias he will reward you with 100 coins, around 40xp and 1 reputation.
There is neither a Job Board nor any secret doors in this town.
