The Maps of Myrist: The
For the young and inexperienced adventurer, creatures encountered in Misty Thicket may often be considered dangerous. The extremely hostile bixies, although relatively fragile to the moderately skilled, may pose a serious threat to young pupils just starting their explorations.
Misty Thicket is considered to be one of the safest starting grounds in Norrath, despite the inherent dangers of the local inhabitants. The stone wall serves as both landmark and barrier, dividing the land and helping to keep the more dangerous creatures out of the youngest pupils' paths.
Adventurers who get easily lost can find their way back to Rivervale as long as they follow the stone wall back to the safe area protected by the guards. Those of beginning skill levels can explore without fear of running into a considerably more dangerous opponent, while more experienced combatants can easily find formidable adversaries beyond the wall.
