What is FS or Far South?
The continent Endor, Middle Earth, is subdivided into regions. You start in Arnor amid the 3 fallen kingdoms. Bordering regions are Forodwaith, Gondor and Rhovanion. Beyond these are the far east around the Rhun Sea, or south through Harondor into Near Harad, Far Harad and east to Khand. Raj and Kirmlesra border this desert too.

Further south come the Yellow Mountains and through them is the forested Far South known as Ardor. FS has about 10 dungeons or fortresses with about 30 mini bosses, mid bosses and major bosses. This region alone can take a hasted character over 12 hours non-stop to complete and yield very roughly 150000 xp.

What is MC or Master Citadel?
MC is the last stop in the Master Citadel circuit of 8 preceding dungeons. The preceding dungeons are distinguished by allegiance to the elven noble houses of Helms, Orbs, Staves, and Swords. The four hold the means to enter the MC for the end boss.

What is the level requirement?
Level requirement in Lands of Arda is a complex question that can't be properly formulated without other questions answered instead. Are you well equipped? Are you acquainted with the area? Reincarnated or not? Solo or party? The answer would be misleading. 12th level is as true as 30th.

Battle requirements?
You will want an AB higher than 30 and an AC higher than 45. Element protection of all kinds is a must.

How do you get there?
You can always run generally keeping west as you go southward to Sarul village. The ship at Dol Amroth goes directly to Sarul but requires a quest to unlock. A caravan in Tul Harar should go to Tauronde village in the middle of the area.

Where is the bind stone?
Not in Sarul. You have to take the Sarul caravan to Taurande and bind there.

A spoiler map of the region for working through to the MC is available if requested but it will go below this post.
