Kervus Warcamp Fort Marrok |
One of the three starting zones of the game, the Foothills lie between the village and the mountain, and home to an orcish tribe who've set up camp in the north-eastern section of the map. The orcish warlord must be defeated to open the mountain pass. Worse, it's guarded by a wandering band of rapey orc amazons led by the futa war-captain Arona. A teleport stone resides in the orcish camp, hidden away in the ruins of an elvish outpost near the mountain pass. Abandoned Belharan watchtowers are constant sights, looming above the paths.
No sooner has the PC entered the Foothills that they come face to face with an ultra-curvy Jacques-tier Harpy Matron and her brood of aggressive daughters. The matron flies back to her nest in the High Mountains, but the thieving daughters will continue plaguing you whenever traveling through the region.
The western approach to the minotaur domain of Kor'Minos is guarded by a giant chasm and a squad of elite legionnaires, who will block passage into the next zone unless defeated or removed via story events.

Trivia
- Despite not being the starting area, the Foothills was the first area implemented. This was due to the amount of content that was already in-place instead of Old Forest.
