Category:Rhuien Forest
At the western edge of the continent of Eragora lies a small rain forest, home to many exotic animals and insects. More worrisome, however, is the large, man-sized plant life that thrives there...

Directions
Walking route from Eragora default recall: 2s, 3w, n, 2w, n, 2w, 3n, w, n, 2w, n, 3w.
Portaling point(s) suggested: Rainbow Plant, Guardian (of Eragora). Warning: non-unique keyword (there is another Guardian portable in the Halfling's Paradise area), and both are aggressive.
Connections
The area is a simple amorphous mesh of rooms with no obstacles. None of the rooms are cursed, not even the local cloud. Navigation is simple since the area is quite small.
Entering Eragora Proper
When arriving from the gate the players are dumped into the first room of the area, one by one, since the process takes a short while. Beware that you will need to equip your gear immediately since the room you are transferred to is not safe and may contain aggie mobs.
Also, since you will be arriving spell-less, consider immediately recalling to the Eragora default recall, respell there and reequip, and only then adventure here.
Adventuring
The area is aggie, meaning every single mob is aggie and sees both hidden and invisible.
As the "introductory" area, being directly connected to the Sphynx Gate, the area serves well to set the tempo and style of later areas. The mobs are relatively hard hitting but not overly difficult, and the main issue (that just requires getting used to) is the lack of full spellups players might be used to on the mainland.
With the reduced spell coverage and thus lower AC the mobs may appear to hit harder than they would usually do against fully spelled players. Naturally, this will also depend on your party composition.
There is no safe or nomob room in the area except the local cloud to the far south, which is also anti-magic (you cannot spellup here), but recallable.
All the mobs are saintly, so watch your alignment.
Unlike some other Eragoran areas, Rhuien forest will not do your CR for you.
Escaping Eragora
The easiest way used to be to portal to Rainbow Plant, which is a stationary (non-agggressive) mob 2e from the gate – however there are now other mobs with the same name which are not portable. Try 2.rainbow, 3.rainbow, etc. If the Sphynx do not react to you, you are invisible. Get visible and reenter the room.
You can walk from Eragora Default Recall fairly easily (check the Eragora Walkways Map).
