Vodalia

Vodalia is aimed at charaters between levels 5 and 30 and, as such, it has monsters that are tough for a Newbie and some that will give even Experts a run for their money! I didn't find any death traps but there were two rooms that suggested traps: The Palace Entrance (Pc) and the Empty Weapons Shop (We) in Old Vodalia. I didn't stick around to see if I would die...

There is a quest in Vodalia. Old Vodalia was invaded, and destroyed by the Hominids and the Syluvenite priests would like to you cleanse the old Altar. To do that you need to be able to breath under water, get the blue coral key from the rotting sea elf corpse at the South Gate to Old Vodalia (So) and make your way through the palace (opening the door east of The Square (Su) on the way. You have to kill the Aboleth at The Altar (Al). Once you do you can take the pearl key on his corpse and unlock the door to the treasure room. You find yourself surrounded by mist and thanked by the gods and then transported to the Chamber of the High Priest (Cb) in Vodalia. You can pick up the treasure and escape north. You can't go south from Among the Pews (Ap).

Oddly King Rhyndalor in King Rhyndalor's Throne Room (Kr), has a dirty brass key that opens the door to the well furnished cell (Wf). Inside you'll find yourself attacked by a hidden mob, Chillic.
