Your trip from Nektulos to Inothule:
Nectulos Forest (you know this)
East Commonlands. Low level area... if you make a LEFT out of nectulous (1-4
level monsters), Medium level if you make a right (5-12 level monsters). And
you have to watch out for Griffons (level 34!!!) There is some mixing... but
GENERALLY if you stay by the road... you will be ok.
DarkElf Necro. you are KOS to merchants, guards will leave you alone
Ogre... not sure about the guards, you can assume the merchants are KOS
North Ro. (A tunnel in the desert wall of East commons leads to this)
Low to medium. You start out in the medium area, level 6 to 15 criters.
Plus the rare Giant (HIGH level)
Guards leave the Dark Elves alone, merchants are KOS.
Oasis. (Take a right as you leave the tunnel from east commons to North Ro.
Go all the way to the water, and take a right...)
High Medum to Low High level. Level 14 to 25 critters. Rather dangerous
place, but if you runa nd are lucky... you will make it. Watch out for
Giants and Dry Bone Skeletons.
South Ro. (keep following the waterline to desert wall, then follow it)
I have no info... as you enter keep to the right... you will find the chasm
that leasd to Innothule
And there you are, in innothule.

Befallen

Befallen is better for low level players, but has the risk of high level
trains... There are decaying, and plain skeletons on the upper level. The
second level you need to be much higher. (about 12th)
Guk Starts at a higher level (need to be 6 or 7) and trains badly also.
Another reason is this. Befallen is closer to Nektulos. And In Neriak the
Ogre can get Shadow night spells, and train(I think... I know he can get
spells at least). In the ogre starting city, I do not know of a place to
train or get spells for a necro.
