This zone is primaraly the reason you hardly find as many enemy realm snipers as you would being in another realm.
Nicknamed the Gauntlet, and for a reason. The zone is vastly sprawled out by Ellyl, Ravenclan, and the invisable Cyhraeth (all of which are 50+). The large rock bounders are known to leap faster than a humans sprint... and to the untrained eye, the grooves can come alive, bearing down branches of the knotted fellwood. The only relative safe spots are the Albion outposts themselves... Making it very hard to survive on your own if your a Hibernian or Midgard.
The Great Brown drake also makes appearances in this zone. (The Great Brown Drake is the Albion equivalant to Midgards Glacial Giant... Does Hibernia even have anything to match?)
