Deos Hills is a forested region on the north side of the great river that divides it from Gran Soren and the Estan Plains. To the north is Northface Forest and to the west is the Cursewood. A small region south of the river near the Nameless Falls, and adjacent to the Wilted Forest is also part of the Deos Hills.
The hills are partially wooded, and partially open, and are crossed by a road from the west, ultimately from The Greatwall, leading to Conquest Road and Windbluff Tower to the east. A large bridge gives access to the south from the Hills.
It is home to a considerable Deer and Boar population in the forested area. Near the river, several large basks of Sulfur Saurians have made their home. In the western parts near the spring may be found Goblins and a Cyclops. Heading further west along the road, at the border of the Cursewood can often be seen a small group of Westron Labrys Bandits with a group of Direwolves -this group will appear randomly after obtaining the Wyrm Hunt License. After Come to Court a single band of tough male bandits take up residence deep in the center of the woods west of Conquest Road.
Occasionally Bandits may stage an ambush on the roads, and there are also rare possibilities for Ambush! quests including a Golem on the road leading west through this area; as well as a second Wight (after Honor and Treachery) in the woods north of the road and east of the healing spring; and a Chimera someway along Conquest Road.
A single Seeker's Token (map * ) on the western boundary, near where a Chimera prowls.
Pawn Chatter[]
"This leads down into the catacombs."
"I hear aught moving about the wood..."
"Roots of this sort of tree oft yield useful herbs and other plants."
"Nature is unbridled here. 'Tis quite a pleasant corner."
"...Running water? Sounds close."
" 'Tis massive... And it blinds us to what lies beyond."
"What a large tree."
"Such a lonely place..."
"The water may be home to hidden threats."
"Seems it's been awhile since anyone has called this place home."
Notes[]
The rare Golem Ambush! quest on the road west through the hills only happens after Honor and Treachery, with reduced chance if Griffins have started to appear.
(Glitch) The Wyvern that appears here has a strong tendency to fly off, often hovering over the nearby sea, sometimes taken by the brine resulting in Dragonforging.
