Yes, made it level 5, time to start traveling further afield. One of the things I must remember not to do is attack faeries or pixies (not worth the faction hit). Orcs already hate elves, so I really don't have a lot to lose (other than getting designated as "kill-on-sight" or "KoS"). Got a few platinum pieces (pp) in the bank, maybe I'll wander out to the city of Kelethin in the middle of Greater Faydark (home of the wood elves).

Been making heavy use of the maps at EQAtlas and the information at Caster's Realm. It's always a good idea to read up on those who have gone before you (I like some unknowns, but hate not knowing the overall picture of where I am in the world and where I stand on the road-kill continuum).
