Some Generic Info

Theres NPC bases scattered around the map, you can capture the NPC's (thralls) and let them do your bidding. For example, there is a base north of V4 which has armorers. Enslave these and set them on your armorers bench and it speeds up the process.

Tier 1 buildings can be destroyed by iron
Tier 2 buildings can be destroyed by steel
Tier 3 buildings can only be destroyed by explosives

Want some quick gear?
The base in the middle has some wicked enemies( skeletons, massive dragons). Added to that it gives off corruption( can be removed by a dancer, not tested myself). If you just ignore the enemies and run around though, you can find the highest tier of gear.

Want stronger walls?
You can place foundations on top of each other making big sturdy walls(stronger than normal walls)

Werewolves:
Found one around K0 didnt drop anything not even hides

Green wall:
There is a cursed wall(green tintish) that serves as a blocker so players cant leave. Dont go through it

Hyenas:
They are afraid of fire so a torch does wonders

Good base locations:
at around S6 is a oasis in a canyon. It has tons of everything and is close to a river. Furthermore there is a camp nearby.

Random musings:
Theres temples all over the map(mitra, etc.) maybe you need to thrall every religion for some of the praying puzzles.

Slab lore
[img]http://[URL=http://s1176.photobucket.com/user/cornethoes/media/Slabmap.png.html]ImageImage


As there seem to be multiple voices talking i will be naming them after their slab color

S1. South dessert Approx under R14 about R18:
[MEDIA=youtube]lKLVidxfAXY[/MEDIA] aprox 5.16
Text of slab BLUE:
Behold bonded one. The very boundaries of civilisation. Beyond the passage of our highways. ??? the wild places of the world where untamed savages make endless war upon each other.

You cannot pass into the endless wastes enslaved, your bonding prevents it. return. Follow the road. Any road. All the roads lead to the city.

S2. Bridge BLUE:
You can see ghosts walking on the bridge of a man with a horse and a female

Text of slab:
Slaves... Know this as the road of refuge. Your people came to us as exiles, weary and harried. When we revealed ourselves your people fell to their knees and worshiped us. In return we fed and clothed you, but you came in untold numbers. We could not cloth you all nor would we offer you of our water or our land. In time this led to conflict, eventually to war. Though it caused us grief we were forced to dominate you. Slaves to our whim your treacherous species would never betray us again

S3. Tower at O9/8 BLUE, Make sure to take foundations and stairs with you ;)
It has 2 slabs though. I think you need to be a follower of the cult that is there. both slabs say the same thing

Text of slab
Slave. In the beginning it was thus; The blackness of an utter void with the cold winds of cosmic space blowing through it. We have not forgotten our origin, slave, nor the immensity of the void.

Nightly the star dreamers search the heavens for their wisdom. And at midnight a moonbeam messenger carries the whispered dreaming back to the warmaker, archivist and the priest king. Thus our future is read from the heaven and engraved in the earth. Your service here will bring you much honour

S4. End of river, I 11/12 BLUE

Text of slab:
Water flows through our city. From untainted sources in the high places and down through the mighty aquaducts that we build to sustain us. And the sewers carry away the waste from the city. Washing it away in a torrent of pure clean water.

Slave, you have been chosen to maintain those sewers. To sweep away the debris and creatures which gather in the foul smelling darkness. Be honored bonded one and be wary. Strange things grow in the gloom of those tunnels

NOTE: This might be about the spider cave(pretty sure)

S5. In the arena(see locations) RED
Front door:
We renurse(?) serves the city as a place of the blood sport and competition bonded one. Our kind are far too few to be wasted on arena battles but your kind are as numerous as rats and the exceptionally strong are tested here.

On battle days the great gates to the city are thrown open and the people go forth in a great thrawn(?) along the verdant valley to the gates of the arena. It is a festival and a sacrifice to the glory of the old serpent.

You are assigned to work not to watch. There are 3 levels. The pens, the arena floor and the gallery. Find your assigned position slave. There is always work to be done.

S6. Arena floor BLUE:
This one is bugged

S7. Arena Gallery RED:
here in the gallery you are required to serve only one. It is a great honor for you to be among the trusted servants of the priest king. Do not do anything to draw his gaze. Though it would be a great honor for you to be sacrificed on the alter of the sacred set, he would be losing a loyal servant.

To provide privacy to those of our kind using the gallery, the enchantment that allows you to understand our language will be disabled

S8. In the water at R12, For landmarks search for the large statues

Red:
Know this slave, with when the kings of lesser races come to pay us homage, they come along the river which wines through the heart of our lands. Their pleasure barges come. Laden with tribute of gold and silver and sacrificial flesh to pass between the sentinels, the gateway to our kingdom. As they pass into the shadows of the sentinels the merriment stills, the subricants(?) tremble.

Look upon our works yi mighty and dispair

S9. M5 at the temple up the stairs BLUE:

There was a time bonded one when our peoples were linked. This aquaduct served as both highway and lifeshores, transporting water from the high places and providing your people with safe passage into the north.

No more.

The borders have been sealed. The water no longer flows as it once did. The hands of friendship have been replaced with the rheteric(?) of war. No more do your people trust the aquaduct safe by our orders

S10. KL 6, Just after the entrance to the city RED:

The warmaker would like to make it clear that no converance(?) with the northern city is allowed. the humans are considered enemies of the triumphant and all contact between the city states is severed. Any slaves caught consulting with the enemy will be summarily(?) executed

S11. J7, at the entrance of the giant building GREEN:
Bonded one, this is the spiritual hearth of our city. Herein the sacrificial rituals of seth are performed constantly such that the scent of sacrifice will bring glory and victory to our people.
Enter slave if you have been bidden to come here. If it is the purpose of your being to be given to the old serpent. And do not allow your footsteps to falter.
Enter slave, give your hearth to seth

Note lore:
Important note; I personally finished the conan wiki with the current up to date notes, as such i will not be updating this reply any more:
http://conanexiles.gamepedia.com/Lore


Note just after the slab @ r18. Free waterskin next to it
NOTE: This one is copied multiple times for every spawnpoint


I am beaten. Left to rot among the ruins of the past. There are others here. Slaves, bandits and cannibals. Exiles from lands I've never heard of.
Some of them try to scrape a life from the wasteland, scrabbling in the rocks and sand for their own place. I cannot go on. The life that I left behind haunts me. The sun over the glittering spires of Belverus is forever denied me. The smell of my daughter's hair..
I will pass the ghost fence and this cursed land will finally end me.
To whoever reds this note, I leave the last of my water and this message.
Stranger you have my pity. You do not know how cursed you truly are.


Note just north of the previous one on top of a fallen down pillar:
NOTE: This one is copied multiple times for every spawnpoint

Gods curse this sandstorm!
We were forced to take refuge before the wind scoured the skin from our faces.
There is something in the storm. Beasts. We hear the skittering of their paws outside the ruins and their howls mingled with the screaming winds.
The men are scared. I've put them to work crafting rudimentary weapons and torches from the loose stones and rough plants that dot this place.
I've yet to meet beasts that liked fire, or the bite of the axe.


Found a massive priests note, going to upload pictures later
"It is amazing to me that the other people who share this place with me call this The Exiled Lands. If I could name it, I would call it the Blessed Lands, because it truly is a place of great blessings. In my youth, I was a rash and foolish man, the youngest son of a minor noble of Poitain. At that age I was consumed by my love of wealth and status and I drank and gambled with other young men of questionable character. Eventually my father, when confronted with my gambling debts, gave me no choice. He simply shipped me off to a monastery, to contemplate my sins. I was not an admirable monk, I confess freely. More concerned with my own amusement than the state of my soul, I often stole from the monastery by night and returned with stolen casks of ale and food. I was popular among the other monks, of course, but the Abbot began to see my influence upon his entire congregation. Eventually, he decided to be rid of me. One night I awoke, bound hand and foot with sturdy ropes, while two burly men lifted me from my bunk and carried me down the winding stone staircase of the monastery. The Abbot accompanied them, wringing his hands and pleading to me with his eyes. "My child, the choice breaks my heart, but I am losing the others. These men will take you away, somewhere far away, where you can start a new life away from your father or Mitra. It will be the best for this monastery and the best for you. Tell me that you understand" he pleaded. What if they decided to slit my throat, Abbot? Then my death will be on your hands. I spat. I have assurances that they will not. He glanced nervously at the men carrying me. I wish you the best of your new life, child. He turned away. I was put into the back of a wagon, covered with a sackcloth, and left to my terrified thoughts. For how long I traveled, I cannot say. I was passed from one set of hands to another, always with the clink of gold to seal the exchange. Other captives joined me in the wagon , men and women from different lands. Some were nobleman, some were commoners. All were as confused as I was about where we were going and why. Most of us assumed that our captors were Shemitish slavers. On the last night of my old life, we were given our rations, a thick heavy stew of vegetables and meat. Like the others, I ate ravenously. And like the others, when whatever poison they had put into the food kicked in, the darkness swallowed me. The next day, my new life began. I awoke, stripped naked, in the sands of a vast desert. There were no people to be seen, just some ruins and the vast emptiness of the sands. I was disoriented, but I chose a direction and set out, hoping to find anybody or anything. I almost died. A sandstorm came sweeping in, swirling sand and lightning and I fled before it, taking shelter in the shadow on an old tumbled statue. There were beasts in the sandstorm. I could hear them moving around and howling with the screeching wind. I repented my life then, thinking of my family for the first time in years. I prayed to Mitra to protect my soul and I forgave the Abbot, who had been a good man trying to protect his flock. Mitra spoke to me then, and his words were for me alone. He wrapped me in his presence, and kept the creatures from finding me. I gave myself wholly to Mitra, there in the darkest hour of my life. I came from the desert a new man and, guided by Mitra, I found this place. This shrine is dedicated to my god and to every Exiled soul, far from home and weary, who could use a place to rest. I leave this story here in the hope that it will inspire others. I have gone ahead, deeper into the Exiled Lands. Mitra has told me that there is much work to do."

Razma's journal 7 is at M1 ontop of the scaffolding. Once canceled cannot be heard/read again
Razma's journal 8 is at DE 3, at a bench

First Mate's report at V5 talks about a constellation and how a beast appears at midnight

Note about hanuman at T14 inside a cave
Oh lord of the darkness,
Of men who are not men,
Give us strenght and suffering,
In equal measure.

Let our bodies be pleasing to you,
And our minds quieted from this conscious thought.
Let us find the inner rages,
And loose them upon the earth.

We give our sacrifice into your hands,
Appease your thirst in the slickness of blood.
Grant us the power of your might,
The eternal strength of Hanuman

Hunters note - Imps, seem to be randomly dropped from exiles
Very few times in my life have i encountered such loathsome and foul creatures as these degenerate beings that i have taken to calling imps.
Their leprous appearance inspires a deep revulsion because of their blasphemous similarities to my own form. How these creatures came to be and what they are doing here, is a mystery for me.
The creatures emanate from a cave along the banks of the river, though I chose not to investigate it too closely, I suspect it is their lair.
The vicious bastards will attack on sight, howling and slashing with their claw tipped fingers. They aren't particularly strong, but I suspect they are overwhelming in numbers.
One final warning, I encountered one of these creatures who seemed to be suffering from some kind of disease. When it approached me, it began to shake and expand, shuddering violently until it exploded in a cloud of blood and ichor. The searing ichor eats into skin and cloth alike, so I recommend moving away whenever one of these creatures approaches

NPC's:

The archivist( Ancient one, ghost) K5 inside building
Note: Receptacle seems to be missing as of now
Text:
In our arrogance, we believed ourselves immortal.
We created these archives as a place to store the memories and knowledge of our people.
Now our people are dust and our knowledge is slowly trickling away.
Unfortunately for you, human, our memories are indeciopherable for one of your race. Even with the bonding bracelet you are wearing.
But i can offer you this service. Bring any relics of interest here and place them on the receptacle.
I will translate the analysis of our archives for you

Unique weapons

* El's drinker Health damage 68 Stam damage 0
The origins of this blade are mysteriously absent from any record. Those who have possessed it over the years claim that it fills them with a nameless hunger for blood.
Once the sword was taken to oracle who named it a dark spirit that "crosses between worlds and time endlessly, in search of shattered men in shattered lands who will let it drink".
