Ayan Baqur

On the far western shore of the Direlands, Ayan Baqur, despite it's isolation, is still one of the principal cities on Dereth. Ayan Baqur, often abbreviated as AB, has seen much turmoil over the years. It has been taken over by Virindi. It has seen countles incursions by ravening monsters from the surrounding Direlands, including visits from the fearsome White Rabbit. And it was camped for quite some time by a persistant Coral Golem Viceroy. It remains important today, being a center of questing and the home of Ulgrim the Unpleasant.

Getting to Ayan Baqur
Ayan Baqur is an isolated community. There are no portals to AB from any town, nor any of the Portal Nexus Dungeons. There is, however, a potal in the chapterhouses of both the Ordina Rossu Morta and the Whispering Blade. As Ayan Baqur is a required stop to gain access to said chapterhouses, you will probably need to find sombody who can summon the portal for you at some point, or else risk the harrowing run through the Direlands.

Portal Connections
Ayan Baqur sports portals to Uziz and Baishi. Additionally, Fort Tethana can be reached via the Colossus Foundary portal beneath the statue.

It should also be noted that those who have completed the Gateway to the Deep quest can use the nearby portal as a short cut to the southern landbridge.

Those who have joined the ranks of the Whispering Blade can also use the nearby chapterhouse as a short cut to Silyun or the capitals of Cragstone, Hebian-To, or Zaikhal.
