Floor plan
Where the walkable floor ends, computed from the zone’s own geometry in the game files, with the 18 named mobs whose positions are on record plotted on it. This zone has 2 levels and they overlap when flattened, so the control above isolates one at a time.
Height
Order, not a path. Rondo Dunfire → Orc Warden → Kelynn → Bonefire → Lord Darish → Bloodgurgler → Retlon Brenclog → Orc Taskmaster → Orc Warlord → Chokehold → Orc Emissary → Orc oracle → Royal Guard → The Prophet → Ambassador DVinn → Emperor Crush → Marrowbane → Orc Trainer. 1,552 units straight-line. Why the line crosses walls →
Lines are floor edges — a wall or a drop. 18 of 18 recorded positions land on drawn floor. What this plan does not mark →
Key to the plan
Where you are
Open ground west, the keep east, the slaver workings south.
- A path between two pyres
- The entrance. North from Kelethin's northernmost lift, or right out of Felwithe along the zone border. Circle of Butcherblock and the translocator land within a run
- A hilltop crowded with orcs
- Trainer Hill. Six or seven spawns, fast enough that you never pull from elsewhere
- A building in front of a tree
- The safe spot at the Slaver Caves, left on zone-in. Right wall instead for the Pit
- A bridge to the castle
- The Wall camp is in front of it. Pull the roamers outside first
- A tented area at the back
- Tents. Shares a four-spawn crevice with the Slaver cave, and the corpse run is long
- Five camps
- Trainer Hill 8 to 13. Slaver Caves 5 to 8, the Pit 12 to 16. Tents 8 to 14. Wall 14 to 18. Throne Room 17 to 22, where Emperor Crush and Ambassador DVinn are pulled from
Four hazards
Cautions
- Trains Every five to ten minutes, through the zone line: legionnaires, oracles, an emissary, sometimes Emperor Crush himself. Learn the paths and stay off them.
- Broken pathing Bridges especially, toward the slaver camp and outside the keep. An orc that goes for a swim routes back behind the castle through the whole zone.
- The Royal Guard Invisible until it attacks, behind the throne on the way up to Emperor Crush.
- Faction Killing slaves damages faction with their home city. Retlon Brenclog costs Ak'Anon.

Crushbone, run at D1, read from the loot tier rather than the zone line. Everything below was observed in the live game rather than read from a source: what these mobs cast, what they hit for, and what they dropped. Upgradeable drops here ran +1 to +3. Killing here moves faction with Storm Guard, Emerald Warriors, Crushbone Orcs, Faydarks Champions, Butcherblock Bandits, Miners Guild 628, Clerics of Underfoot, Kazon Stormhammer.

Ordinary mobs are not itemised here.
What this is and is not. Observations, not rates. A drop seen once is not a drop rate, and nothing here is a probability. Damage is what the mob dealt against the armour it met, so treat the maximum as the shape of the hit rather than a constant. What a log can and cannot tell you →
