Covetous
First Seen:	September 1997
Coordinates:	62º 13' N, 82º 41' E
Facet:	Felucca&Trammel

Covetous is one of the seven Anti-Virtue Dungeons. Its values are the opposite of the Sacrifice virtue. The dungeon was carved a long time ago into the Mountains of Avarice. There are five levels. The first two consist of a narrow and winding passages which connect larger caverns. The third is what appears to be the remains of some prince or king's abode that has long been abandoned, either willingly or by forcefully when the monsters arrived. Statues in the great hall heed warning to stay away for first time visitors:

"Go no farther, lest ye face thy death!"

The fourth level is an old prison with cells for prisoners on both sides of a short corridor ultimately leading to the torture room. The fifth and the final level is near a subterranean lake where a lonely sorceress, Cora, leads hordes of her minions to all other parts of the dungeon on her worn.

Maps

Directions The entrance of the dungeon is at 62º N, 83º E, which is located at northeast of Cove, south of Minoc, west of Vesper and just southwest of the Minoc Moongate.

Outside There are two passages outside of the dungeon: one between the first and the second levels and the other between the second and the third levels. The Ghost of Frederic Smithson, a quest NPC, can be found at the first passage just near the exit of the first level. In the latter passage and just near the exit of the second level, there is a Sacrificial Brazier which you can sacrifice a Treasure or a World Map to get a new map with the location of the Corgul the Soulbinder's Island of the Soulbinder marked. Skeletons also spawn in this passage. Note that you can Mark and Recall in between each level for quicker access.

Level 5 Cora the Sorceress stands where once a powerful dragon called Sudiva was admired by the adventurers and especially the fishers who used to visit the subterranean lake on this level. Cora's story is released with Publish 76 as: "When she was denied advanced knowledge of mana by the Codex of Infinite Wisdom, the sorceress Cora became enraged. In her pique, she poured all of her enormous energy into a magical spell and focused it onto the Codex. Despite the sheer power of the Codex, she wrested a few pages from its binding. The magical blast also bored a hole through the Void Between Places, anchored by a section of stone from the Codex’s podium. Cora and the pages from the Codex were pushed through the hole in space. The far end of the hole erupted into the middle of Dungeon Covetous. Injured, and with her own ability to channel mana damaged, Cora retreated deeper into the dungeon. Over time, she recovered, and now sends minions enhanced by magic to attempt to capture more pages of knowledge from within the Void Pool. Use of travel spells near the Void Pool in Covetous is impossible because of the twist in space, so Cora must gate her minions into the dungeon from a distance."

Fire traps litter the floor, they should be avoided.

The miners must have fled quickly, leaving their equipment behind.

Will ye heed the warning the statues provide?
