Covetous

Main article: Covetous

Nestled deep in the mountains south of Minoc, Covetous is famous for its tiered layout:

• Level 1: Harpies, Stone Harpies, and Mountain Trolls. Excellent for novice warriors.
• Level 2: Gazers, Elder Gazers, and Corpsers. High magic resistance recommended.
• Level 3 & Lake: Giant Serpents, Water Elementals, and deeper chambers hosting Dragons and Drakes overlooking the subterranean river.

Deceit

Main article: Deceit

Located on the frozen expanse of Dagger Isle, Deceit is the undisputed realm of the Undead:

• Level 1 – 2: Skeletons, Ghouls, Shades, Wraiths, and Mummies.
• Level 3 – 4: Skeletal Mages, Bone Knights, Liches, Poison Elementals, and the dreaded Lich Lords.
• Champion Altar: Hosts the Unholy Terror champion spawn commanded by **Neira the Necromancer**. Equipping a **Silver (Undead Slayer)** weapon yields +100% damage against virtually every inhabitant.

Despise

Main article: Despise

Located north of Britain, Despise is the quintessential proving ground for young adventurers:

• Level 1: Lizardmen and Despise Trolls.
• Level 2: Ettins and Earth Elementals — staple training grounds for early melee and provocation builds.
• Level 3: Titans, Cyclopean Warriors, and the secluded Ogre Lord Island. Ogre Lords provide excellent gold drops and rapid combat gains.

Destard

Main article: Destard

Carved into the volcanic crags south of the Swamp of Despair, Destard is home to the dragon flight:

• Level 1: Swarming with Drakes, Red and Brown Dragons, and Wyverns.
• Level 2: Inhabited by Shadow Wyrms, Giant Serpents, and the cataclysmic Ancient Wyrm.
• Tactical Note: Destard is among the highest-risk dungeons in Britannia. Dragon breath attacks deliver instant damage scaled to current hit points. Always maintain distance or pre-cast Greater Heal.

Hythloth

Main article: Hythloth

Buried on the isolated Isle of the Avatar, Hythloth plunges through four hellish levels:

• Inhabited by Gargoyles, Hell Hounds, Stone Gargoyles, Daemons, and deep below, the dreaded Balron.
• **Exorcism (Demon Slayer)** weapons turn Daemons into effortless prey, dropping high-tier magic weapons, gems, and scrolls.

Shame

Main article: Shame

Carved behind the waterfalls west of Britain:

• Level 1 – 2: Earth Elementals, Scorpions, and Mud Puppies.
• Level 3: Air Elementals and Water Elementals. Air Elementals possess high mobility and rapid spellcasting.
• Level 4 – 5: Poison Elementals, Blood Elementals, and Elder Gazers. Blood Elementals boast enormous hit point reserves and drop substantial gold and magic items.

Wrong

Main article: Wrong

Built as an underground fortress and prison dungeon in the northern woods:

• Features jail cells, execution blocks, and narrow corridors guarded by Brigands, Executioners, Lizardmen, and Evil Mages.
• Highly dangerous for isolated adventurers due to instant paralyze traps and spellcasting ambushers.

Khaldun

The accursed tomb discovered in the Lost Lands:

• Special mechanics prevent Mark, Gate Travel, and Recall inside the tomb.
• Populated by cursed cultists, ancient abominations, and shadow entities with devastating special abilities. Adventurers must band together to survive expeditions into Khaldun.

Fire & Ice Dungeons

• Fire Dungeon: Found via an island entrance near Serpent's Hold or the Lost Lands passage. Teeming with Lava Serpents, Fire Elementals, Fire Steeds, and Daemons.
• Ice Dungeon: Hidden in the snowy wastes of Dagger Isle. Home to Frost Trolls, Frost Spiders, Ice Elementals, **White Wyrms**, and Arctic Ogre Lords. A prime destination for tamers seeking to tame or train White Wyrms.
