Found a mysterious man in Arid Sea

Someone in my guild found this out and doesnt know what to think of it. I saw it and didnt know what to think so i am putting it on here.

It in the southern area of Arid Sea if you want to find him. He says " This Portal Leads to the Desolation, a deadly wasteland shrouded in poisonous sulfur mists. You do not have the means to survive in such a place so I cannot grant you passage"

Does anyone know if he leads you to something or is it just a dead end?

Interesting.........would be cool if it was a link to something elonian.

Most likely

BUT

Same as ascension i guess you'll have to to earn some sort of magical protection (lighbringer title?) in order to actually use it.

Do you have a Nightfall key added to your account? Maybe its a way in to Elona for those who bought the game. Just a theory.

HAHA, Vin I beat you to it. Mines in the nightfall thread...

that guy has been there for a long time. So i unless the can plan ahead that far i doubt it would do anything w/ elona, but hey i've been wrong b4

I seem to remember reading there were two bonus Heros (one from Prophecies, one from Factions) you could aquire if you had the original games. Perhaps thats related?

But you get the necro hero from lions.

that guy has been there as long as I've played the game (17-18 months). So I don't think it has a point...

Nah, those we got first, one in KC and one in LA. One assasin from cantha and one neco from tyria. I thought for sure they would make it alot harder for us to aquire them.

He wasn't there when i did my explorer 2 months ago.

the Desolation is an area in Elona, so...

yep and the arid sea is all over the manual for GWN

hoooray you found it!

it seems like this is the entrance to the area where you have to ride the wurms. That was the info we got before, a really toxic land where you can only survive in a wurm, so you have to first do a quest to get a wurm u can ride before enetring there.

Well. if anyone else has the mag. (and remembers reading a small snippet of it.)

It did say things will pop up or change somehow in proph and factions area as nf unviels itself. (not word for word but translated +doesnt say when/if this actually happens.)

/you never know.

Yeah, I just stepped foot into desolation, it kills you instantly cause you can't survive. I wonder what you need to do to survive

Isn't this the part where you have to ride the wurm through the poison?

But well, just a thought.

I haven't been there yet... guess i'll go out exploring tonight.

You can ride wurms? Like Dune style?

wow so did any1 with nightfall key added tryed to talk to that guardian?
