    I never actually went to Razor's Point, so I really don't know what you're talking about. Probably the only quest in the game I never actually did. Oh well.

    Anyway, from what I remember, you can't hurt yourself. Just get to Tarant and play through normally. Caladon usually only appears pretty late in the game, and given the usual difficulty in getting to the place overland, it was a safe bet the developers didn't make the script writing as robust (ie a lot of flexibility) so I think certain assumptions will have been made. No harm done though I would think.

    It's a known bug. There is some sort of detection bug that sometimes allows you to walk around the point of rock at the end. However, it only works one way so you can accidentally get to the Caladon side, but not get back again.

    It doesn't make any difference as far as I know. Just get a ship to Tarant and you'll be fine.

    What!? :eek:

    So, if you travel through the very south you can pass thru Stonewall Range? ...I'm gonna faint!

    I know how to go to the Bangellian Deeps after leaving Shrouded Hills finding Hardin's Pass, but I've never found a way to cross that little river that separates Quintarra from Caladon... this is a great finding!

    Maestro, cyric! :)

    Really? I've discovered this bug as well but I can go both ways.

    Heeey! It's true, I did it... of course it's a bit difficult, you must activate the worldmap when you're standing in some part of water... oh cool! Now all the world map is accesible at any time! :D

    You've never found the lethe wyvern crossing then? It's location is marked by the man with the camera quest in the Roseborough inn, who asks you to photo the lethe wyvern. Use the camera on the wyvern, then slay the thing. Just north east of it's position is a bridge that you can use to cross from the Caladon side to the Qintarra side.

    Once you know the location you can use it in new games right from the point that you get through Hardin's pass. Just make sure that as soon as you cross the bridge, you go to the world map, so you don't get attacked my the lethe wyvern. You can kill it later after you've photo'd it.

    Incidentally, after you've been to Vendigroth, you can tell the person next to the bloke with the camera about it, as it help with his theory on the cycle of magick and technology.
