The Savage Coast

My biggest area (and the one I like best!), the area and the quest is divided in to several subareas that are placed on the east coast of the batmap. It's not just my biggest area, I would guess that it's BatMUDs biggest area. There's also a second contintent called Renardy that is supposed to be out in the ocean to the east. My first intention was that you would go there with boat, but since Melemkor never manage to finish his boats you have to get transported there by the famous pink portal demon, Z'tragoz. An estimate is that the area contain ~30 subareas of different sizes. Most of the subareas on Renardy are auto generated though.

Donaru

Donaru is the main city along the Savage coast. You can find out a lot of quests in the surrounding areas by visiting the library. There's also shops, a bank, bakey and several bars that you can visit to relax your tired adventure bones.

Renardy

The Map

Renardy is a small orc infested continent that lies to far to the east . Orc, trolls, ogres and goblins live there in multitude. There are four major clans that live there.

• Clan of Yazak
• Clan of Rastaka
• the Wolf-Crag clan,
• the Marduch Clan
• Clan of Narvaez

Noone have probably never noticed that the different clans has minor differences and are slightly different. Those  monsters are cannon fodder
for most players that go there anyway. But I'm sure that people have noticed that the rank the monsters have gained make them harder. The following ranks are availiable for the different races.

    Orc Ranks
    recruit, soldier, sergeant, lieutenant, captain

    Ogre Ranks
    recruit, soldier, berzerker, red berzerker, black berzerker

    Troll ranks
    small violent, minor savage, large frenzy, enourmous raving, gigantic           rampaging

    Goblin ranks
    recruit, foot-soldier, marauder, black marauder, warchief

Where the toughness of the monsters goes from left to right.

Further each race  have one key character that works like leaders.  They have more leaders then that though, but I have I just coded 16 of them! They just show up as turbos sometimes.

Orc Warlords
    Morcar the blood-spilling orc warlord
    Azhag the butchering orc warlord
    Gruzk the brain-smashing orc warlord
    Ugbad the bloodfrenzy orc warlord

Ogre Chieftains
    Hrothyogg the devastating ogre chieftain
    Vomitskrag the bone-ripping ogre chieftain
    Zogwort the knee-cracking ogre chieftain
    Borgoth the child-slaying ogre chieftain
   
Troll elders
    Bloodgobbler the sadistic troll elder
    Steamhammer the Elf-eater the troll elder
    Ratbreath the Dwarf-mangling troll elder
    Boneripper the limb-ripping troll elder

Goblin leaders
    Gorrgfang the eye-poking goblin general
    Grobgrut the pompous goblin master
    Grom the ear-cleaving goblin lord
    Gorbad the nose-breaking goblin marshal

So those are some of the monsters you can except to meet when you visit Renardy. Blashyrkh has also coded the nice St Patric's island (or he recoded my area that I never finished). That is a newbie area and not at all as hostile as Renardy. That area is very much inspired by Salzburg and I coded my part of it autumn 2002.

So what it is the theme of this area,  I'll quote my news I sent when I first put this into the game.

The history of the Savage Coast is brutal. It's been plagued by wars, orcs and mad magicians for many millennia. And now goblinoids raid the shores again. They rape the women and kill their men. Trolls are eating their children and ogres are stomping all beautiful flowers. Rumours say that they are coming from the continent east from the batcontinent, Renardy. Abrahim have put up an award for whoever stops this insanity, the fabled Felidae amulet. I was sent out myself as a scout to Renardy and I've recently returned with grim tidings. The Renardy continent is infested by the goblinoids, they are everywhere. And there are quite a few very powerful leaders over there. I've myself encountered a few, Vomitskrag,  Bloodgobbler, Gorrbad and Gorrgfang. But they just seem to be the tools for even more powerful leaders. I've picked up two names that seem to be of importance, Klang-Rhun and Naggaroth. But maybe it's to early to make the conclusion that they are the leaders behind all this madness. I also found a dying slave, I managed to grasp just a little bit of his insane mumbling. But he talked about a black fortress connected to a deep mine. So travel quickly to the east coast and the main city of the Savage coast, Donaru.

Since the batsea is unsuitable for boats right now, I've summoned Z'tragoz the portal  demon for quick transportation's to a secret place on Renardy. Since Z'tragoz is a  pink portal demon you have to pay a small fee though, that's in their nature.  I advice you to not attack this strange and exotic creature, you have been warned. It's of uttermost importance that  the location of the portal isn't revealed to the leading forces on Renardy.

I'm the one connected to the fabric and space of the Renardy continent so report any bugs, typos, ideas etc to me.

I coded Donaru and Renardy first as you see from this post, the later additions came later on. Abrahim still offers you the reward though and still give you cash for every leaders head you offer him. But the quest  no longer stops when you have managed to rampage through Renardy and slaying most of the goblinoids there. Renardy and Donaru were coded during 2000. Guess I began coding the rest of the area in 2001 and also finished it that year. Ok I've given out to much information already. I hope you one day take your time and do the quest. Seems like the general oppinion is that people like doing it even though it takes at best ~12hours to complete. So happy adventuring. It is level quest 80.

Scouts have scouted a few of them: Vomitskrag, Bloodgobbler, Gorrbad and Gorrgfang. But maybe it's to early to make the conclusion that they are the leaders behind all this madness. One scout found a dying slave. Little was understood of his insane mumbling. But he talked about  a black fortress connected to a deep mine. Yet another scout found  a mad sailor, the sailor mumbled about a beautiful white citadel with dragons and  a beautiful sorceress. Stop this madness and find the true source of the evil.
