If I'm understand your message, you are asking where the Knight is? :). Hehe, wish we knew! Nice
train! As Damaun, another level 51 bard who got wiped out by the same train (summoned as he ran for
zone) shouted "Kudos to the puller that managed to pull a Mob that summons to zone and live!".

We had a discussion last night about the trains in Karnor's. Our belief is that most level 50's grew up
in overcrowded dungeons where the fine art of a good pull was not necessary and as a result most don't
know dirt about pulling successfully.

As for deeper, we're now discovering a couple of "safe" spots you can go to to get out of train city for
the most part including the castle wall where the lookouts spawn, the little alcove just inside the
castle to the left, the captain's area to the right up the ramp and the two corners by the lake. Problem
is that all of these areas can be a challenge to hold, but certainly doable with a single group.
Whatever you do, don't swim in the under water tunnel to the right of the castle... Insta-death or
insta-train (if somehow you manage to make it that far).
