I believe Darish also carries some special axe, although I'm not
certian. he spawns in the "throne room"

The scariest thing is The Prophet does is buff DVinn and Crush with
Spirit of the Wolf. I had no idea he was doing this when I'd been to CB
before, and I remember being mowed down by a train of Dvinn, Crush, etc.
when I was in CB at lower levels. It's a pretty nasty thing of him to
do. ;p He sometimes has Tergon's Spellbook, a lore item. I believe this
is for a quest. >Emisarry - The orc with a mission...To whack you over

Dvinn seems to also have a racial hatred toward Wood Elves, as does Dorn
in the 2nd Northern Ro Dervish Camp. Maybe the hatred is toward bards,
but I'm inclined to believe it's actually Wood Elves. Perhaps all Dark
Elves (NPCs) have this dislike? BTW, Dvinn ALWAYS has the dagger, so at
least you know if you actually do beat him, you will get it. It is also
now a Lore Item, which is a good change to reduce overt camping in my
opinion. DVinn often has the Black Heart for the Paladin Quest, but not
always.
I went to Crushbone the other day at Level 19, and Crushbone was a blue
con but to me was like fighting 2 dervish thugs at 17th or 18th, I
couldn't take him alone. The Prophet was VERY easy to kill. Dvinn -
don't even consider it. I paired up with a L24 druid the first go around
to get a Dragoon Dirk, and the only reason Dvinn died was because the
druid was a monster. DVinn was 19th-20th everytime we spawned. Even
splitting the exp with a L24, I got literally a quarter bubble exp off
of him. The Dragoon Dirk however is an awesome weapon, and is even
better then the Combine long sword I used. It seems with alot of these
that bronze armor puts you over the edge in taking hits from them, I was
still in 90% banded when I went, and wielded a Combine LS and a FS LS.

WOW! I didn't know about the copper. Now I can go use those keys I've
been collecting in the bank. Great tip.
There is also a very rare spawn called "the warlord", he can have a
Bracer of Battle. It's a very good piece of armor I hear in its own
right, but you also need it to complete the quest for the screaming
mace, along with the shiny brass shield.
