Fahranur, The First City

Locations of all bosses

Collector and bounty locations

The ruins of Fahranur, the First City depict a scene of tragedy. The first civilization on the island of Istan was brought low by the mysterious appearance of the Scarab Plague. The horrible plague killed many inhabitants and drove the rest away. Little now remains of the place to tell of the lost grandeur. The Nightfall event begins with the stirring of a dormant evil deep within the ruins.

[edit] Getting there

Even though the area outside the city is freely accessible, the city itself is not accessible until after completion of the Jokanur Diggings mission. It is located southwest of the Jokanur Diggings outpost.

There are no primary quests that take place here but several secondary quests do, including the first two of Scholar Chago's quest chain (starting with A Perplexing Plague) and Defender's Choice.

[edit] Notes

  • Fahranur was abandoned and ruined by the Scarab Plague. Istani civilization started from here. It is also where the Order of the Sunspears originate from.
  • The fallen statue head in the opening cutscene of the Nightfall campaign appears to be the one that lies near the exit into Jokanur Diggings.
  • Librarian Gahmir Lenon's dialogue in the Halls of Chokhin hints at a connection between the First City and the kings of Orr.
  • The entrance into the city proper are protected by falling crusher traps. Dying from being crushed does not cause death penalty and does not count as a death (for Survivors).
  • Complete exploration of this area contributes approximately 2.9% to the Elonian Cartographer title track.
  • Vanquisher runs of this area without active quests requires defeating around 195 foes. Including quest influences, it has been reported to range from 195 to 220.
    • Consider starting from Blacktide Den for a party size of 8.
    • Study the patrol paths of the mobs outside of the city ruins before engaging; many of them overlap.
    • The quest A Perplexing Plague in particular will produce a lot more insect spawns.
  • This area has a large number of low level skale enemies near the entrance to the city itself. Characters with low sunspear rank may want to kill these for the The Honorable General quest since there is a sunspear handing out Skale Hunt at the beginning of the map.
