Here you can recruit companions, investigate routes to breach or bypass the inner fortress, and acquire your first full sets of equipment and skill books. Navigating social dynamics with gang bosses, enslaved elves, and watchful guards is key to surviving and preparing your escape.

Tips

Acquire the Teleportation Gloves early from the crocodiles, as they allow you to access multiple secluded ledges, pull unreachable chests, and create alternate escape routes.
Do not let Sebille speak to Stingtail if you want to buy Pyrokinetic skill books from him, as she will murder him during her personal dialogue.
Giving Migo a Yarrow Flower resolves his encounter peacefully, granting a ring that casts Restoration and opening a quest with Magister Yarrow on the battlements.
Keep a shovel or a Lizard character in your party at all times, as numerous dirt mounds containing buried treasure and secret entrances are scattered across the ghetto.
