The Ancient Quarry

 The Ancient Mine is located north west of the capital Gran Soren, at the end of a road the follows the broken wall that litters the field surrounding the city. The serves as a usefull shortcut from the capital to the Witchwood/Shadow fort area and will most likely be visited by most players while on the quest 'Liberate the Shadow Fort'. Outside of the mine entrance there is an NPC traveler that offers two quests, the first being to open a gate located inside the mine (which can be achieved by simply standing on a platform directly infront of the gate). The second quest being to clear the mine of mosnters, which is suggested to be taken with some trepidation seing as how 2 ogres are among the monsters inside (the others being spiders, Hob/goblins, and rats).
