Firebase Zulu Reconnaissance Officer

(6447, 1092, 1890)

You have just entered the Shadow Shard, a series of islands broken down into four main sections. This is, in association with Portal Corps, a miliary-controlled and supervised restricted access location. If you don't have one already, see a vendor about a Flight Pack. Oh, and make some friends because this place is deadly.
See my report for more information. It should give you an idea what to expect:
RECONNAISSANCE REPORT
*** Approved Use Only ***
History: The Portal Corps has provided access to this dimension in an attempt to keep Rularuu from swallowing up another world. He's weaker on his home turf.
Hostiles Strength: Levels 40 through 47
Suggested Squad Parameters: 5 to 8-person teams
Highlights:

• Firebase Zulu

The main military installation and access point from Earth

• Cascade Archipelago

A series of islands that run more vertical rather than horizontal, home to the rare Kora Fruit

• The Chantry

One of the stranger pockets within the Shadow Shard, the domain of another part of Rularuu's consciousness that he found too troublesome to deal with: his conscience

• The Storm Palace

Home to Lanaru the Mad, an expression of the real Rularuu's frustrations at his imprisonment

Identified Hostiles:

• Brutes (absent from Zulu)
• Circle of Thorns (Cascade Archipelago}
• Crey (Firebase Zulu)
• Natterlings (Zulu and Cascade Archipelago)
• Nemesis (Zulu and Cascade Archipelago)
• Reflections (absent from Storm Palace)
• Sentries
