[Northeast Wilds, Grimsage Way]
The small path skirts the shattered remains of Arhat's tower to the west, and branches off to the east.  The low mound that forms the ruins of Motte Fort lies to the southeast, and just east of that the solid stone walls of the Keep of the Ughtensgard.  Another tower, capped with a gleaming crystal dome, is visible farther southeast.
Also here: Hammerfist and Soldier Andorell who is surrounded by a shimmering shield.
Obvious paths: east, southwest, northwest.

>danc dragon
Your movements feel completely unhindered.

You slowly center yourself, your mind growing quiet as a quickly building rage surges through your body, your limbs quaking with its boundless strength.  A terrible roar of fury and bloodlust rips from your throat as the Form of the Dragon consumes you, only a thread of control fighting back the descent into a berserker's madness.
Roundtime: 5 seconds.
