Revision 1

Overview

Kharonso is a secluded village hidden behind the mountain range of the Black Forest in the Hernand region. Much like the Scholustone Institute, the majority of its residents are trolls. The village reportedly formed following the establishment of the Institute, and its inhabitants maintain close ties to that scholarly community.

Location

The village is tucked away behind the Black Forest mountains, making it difficult to access without knowledge of the correct paths. Its isolation has allowed the troll community to develop largely undisturbed, though travelers willing to make the journey will find a settlement with its own customs and trade.

Notable Features

• Troll Population: Kharonso is one of the few settlements in the game with a majority troll population, offering unique interactions and dialogue.

• Scholustone Institute Connection: The village was established after the nearby Institute and shares cultural and possibly economic ties with it.

• Black Forest: The surrounding mountain range and forest provide a natural barrier, and the area contains unique enemies and gathering resources.

Kharonso Inn

The Kharonso Inn is one of the village's main points of interest. Run by an innkeeper named Grania, the inn serves as a rest point for travelers who make the journey to this remote settlement. Players can purchase cooking recipes from the inn, including Fruit Punch and Meat and Fish Porridge, expanding their crafting options.

Scholastone Institute Connection

Kharonso was established after the founding of the nearby Scholastone Institute, and the two communities maintain close ties. The Institute is a scholarly facility populated primarily by trolls, and Kharonso's residents share this cultural background. During the main quest that involves visiting the Scholastone Institute in Chapter 4, players may pass through or near Kharonso on their journey.

How to Reach Kharonso

Kharonso is located to the far west of the City of Hernand, hidden behind the mountain range of the Black Forest. The paths leading to the village are not immediately obvious on the map, and players will need to look for trails leading behind the mountain range. The isolation of the village makes the journey worth planning ahead, but the unique vendor offerings and troll NPC interactions reward those who make the trip.

Tips

• The path to Kharonso is hidden; look for trails leading behind the Black Forest mountain range.

• Troll NPCs may offer quests or trade goods not available in other settlements.
