Gereth Minar is located to the southwest of Mythago Wood (also SW
of Medievia City) on an island at the end of a jungle. Created by Shalafi,
this zone is fascinating. Designed for levels 17-22 (I strongly suggest
groups of at least 3), this zone is composed of 61 rooms. However, you
must SEARCH very carefylly to find many of these rooms. In fact, even
'search' doesn't work all the time, so I would advise that you try walking
in every direction, even those that aren't shown in autoexit.
	There are plenty of mobs to be found in Gereth Minar--and beware:
they all appear to be aggressive. The mob to look for is, to quote
Shalafi, "A powerful and slightly insane mage" who lives in the tower.
Shalafi also mentioned that "as such [slightly insane] he is very
paranoid. He most likely has some form of magical protection keeping
intruders away."
	When I heard about this mysterious zone, with its "very unique
form of barrier," I thought to myself, "This, I have gotta see!" Well,
I've got to say that I was personally stumped. Very stumped; and as
Shalafi refuses to give any more hints, I guess I'll just have to go back
and try again sometime. I strongly suggest you don't ask him for any hints
about it either, as he told me, "Players will have to figure out how to
pass it [the barrier]" on their own.
	On the plus side, besides being a thinking challenge, there is a
LOT of great equipment to be found on the mobs. There are both +dam and
+mana pieces of eq, and they are very good for levels 17-22. This I know,
as I went, I killed, I identified. So go check it out, people, see if you
can find the crazy mage. Best of luck and happy hunting to you!
