Fort Blueblood is a medium fort southeast of Leyawiin containing marauders (quest-related). [edit] It contains two zones: Fort Blueblood and Fort Blueblood Halls.

Notes

• There is a bug that will cause you to become imprisoned in the final section containing the coffins. If the doors for which you used the Fort Blueblood Key close behind you, you cannot re-open them from the inside. It will keep asking you for a special key and the lock cannot be picked.
• The gate to the right when you enter is controlled by a lever on the other side, about a foot past it. You can use this gate to exit the dungeon.
• The boss-level chest and boss can only be reached during and after completion of the Mages Guild Leyawiin recommendation quest.

Zone 1: Fort Blueblood

When you enter this zone, you automatically see a marauder at a T-intersection. The hall to the right has a door and is blocked by an iron gate with the lever on the other side. This will serve as your shortcut exit later. Now you can only go left. There is a small room accessed from the first one you enter through a door. Be careful when coming in, though, as a pressure plate on the floor will trigger 2 swinging maces. The last room in this zone has many iron weapons and armor pieces (except for greaves) and quite a few chests. Down the adjacent hallway at C is the door to the other zone, Fort Blueblood Halls.

Occupants:

• 1-2 Marauder Battlemages
• 0-1 archer Marauder
• 4-5 melee Marauders

Zone 2: Fort Blueblood Halls

The first room has quite a few marauders. The one nearer to the entrance is alone, but the others are clustered near the other hallway. Past that, in front of the entrance to the large boss room, there is another pressure plate activating two swinging maces. The large room contains a boss marauder at A on the map and several other random marauders. The Fort Blueblood Key can be found on the body of the boss marauder during the Mages Guild Leyawiin Recommendation quest. It opens the door to the last area, which, in contrast to the rest of the fort, contains two leveled monsters. There are several coffins and chests there. Manduin's Coffin, during the related quest, contains Manduin's Amulet. As soon as you pick it up, Kalthar appears and attacks you, simultaneously locking the only exit with an unpickable lock. He has the key, and you have to kill him to get it. After that, you can exit this zone by going through door D, which leads you back near the entrance on the other side of the iron gate.
