Is a node in the Frozen Sewers of Faeborg Forest. Previous node: Campsite (Frozen Sewers) Next: Corridor (North sewer) In the center of the sewers you find a throne and next to it a frozen ratman holding a goblet. Unlike the others, this ratman still seems to be alive and with a little magic you manage to unfreeze him. When he recovers he says to you: "Where is the king, what happened? mmm... It seems that you have saved me, thank you very much. I serve the king with a variety of goblets, some of which are even magical! I took them out of the vault and I stole others from the elves... hehehe... As thanks for saving me, I'll sell you some of my goblets'"
