Barindu, Hanging Gardens

Gardens and stone workers

Barindu was an agricultural centre for the Taelosians, a lush garden in the middle of the city. It was also where the nihil built their stone workers. The Muramites turned it into a slave yard and a construction ground for golems, and it is now home to some of the cruelest violence done to the nihil.

The missing scout

Taminoa Bialu sent Talwin, a young wood elf new to the brotherhood, to scout here. His early reports did not tell her much, and when she said so he pushed his luck. She has not heard from him since. She is sure he is alive and that his journals must be lying around the gardens, and she asks you to find two of his entries.

A crossroads

Barindu gives access to much of Gates of Discord. The group instances of the Sewers of Nihilia, Vxed and Tipt all start here. The Aneuk Overseer and Ra`tuk Kjyt Gykk are among its named Muramites, and the zone suits characters of about level 55 to 65.

Where it sits

The zone-line files join Barindu to Qinimi on the west, Riwwi to the north, Ferubi, and the entrances to the Sewers of Nihilia and Vxed. Tipt’s entrance has no labelled zone line in the files, so its link rests on the zone records alone.

Our map draws the sewers to the south-east, as on the in-game map, with Vxed in the eastern hills and Tipt on the north-east edge.
