Morroc

Long ago the Mage Knight Thanatos fought the great demon Satan Morroc and sealed him away. Legend says the battle laid waste to the south-east of the Rune-Midgarts Kingdom and left behind the Sograt Desert. To guard the seal, people built a castle on top of it; houses and tents soon gathered around the castle, and the new city was named after the demon: Morroc.

A thousand years later the demon woke again. The town is the home of the Thief guild and of the Soul Linker guild (see TaeKwon line).

With Episode 12, Satan Morroc's awakening badly damaged the town. Morroc Castle, where it happened, was flattened, many nearby buildings were wrecked or left empty, and the survivors set up a refugee camp near the Pyramids. During that period:

• The south Kafra gained a teleport to Prontera.
• Both inns stopped their service.
• The Repairman and all outdoor vendors moved to the refugee camp; the weapon and armor dealers stayed in their shop in the south-east.
• PvP did not change.

Reconstruction began as Satan Morroc neared his end after escaping, and once he was defeated the town was fully rebuilt. Walking to Prontera became a long detour through the Dimensional Gorge with help from the Continental Guard, so the Kafra teleport is the simpler and safer choice.

After the incident Satan Morroc fled into the desert and twisted it to cut Morroc off from the rest of the kingdom. Whole parts of the Sograt Desert vanished and became the Dimensional Gorge, a warped area of high-level monsters reached from the town's east exit. Members of the Continental Guard know the way through and can guide you out.

To enter you must be level 80 and start the Continental Guard quest. The quest lets you summon and fight Satan Morroc; a team of at least 20 players is recommended. When beaten he retreats into a rift, and after the related quest you can follow the Wounded Morroc and fight him as an MVP about as strong as other high-end MVPs.
