C4 — Isles of Illusion: West

Corak's Notes

The sandy western Isle of Illusion holds the ruins of Castle Greywind, once the proud fortress of Greywind the Illusionist. His spirit is now imprisoned within its broken walls. Free him and he will reward you with knowledge from the shadow realm between life and death. Two enchanted wells flank the mountain range, and pirate treasure lies buried in the sand — though it appears as illusion on every day but one.

Monsters: Barbarians, Dino Beetles

The western Isle of Illusion is sandy terrain populated by Barbarians and Dino Beetles — far less dangerous than the Isle of Fire to the north, but not to be underestimated.

Castle Greywind (point 1) is a critical story objective. Greywind the Illusionist waits inside; freeing his spirit yields half of the number needed for the game's final challenge. The castle interior is a separate dungeon area. Pay 10,000 gold at the fountain inside to cure the entire party of all ailments.

Both wells are worth visiting before any difficult expedition — +60 to Accuracy and Endurance are powerful temporary boosts. They will not activate if the party already has an active bonus of the same type.

Chests of pirate treasure lie buried in the sand across the isle. They appear as illusions on every day of the year except one specific day, when the treasure becomes real.
