Derah Villadom
The only real note about the zone is that it is switched between day mode and night mode by triggers which toggle between the two. There are two ways of toggling the Night zone on, that being by entering the Dark Portal and by visiting the Destroyed Home (Where it is rumored where the curse was placed).
Once the Night zone is toggled on, some changes happen in the zone: (1) You can not teleport nor phase out of the zone (2) the exit to the zone is gone, and the long eastern street loops upon itself north-south.
The only way to escape the night horrors is to visit the Grave in the graveyard, which will give you back to the light-of-day.
There are two scales of grouping levels for this zone. By day, the zone can be handled fairly well by a 3-to-4 person group in their mid-teens. At night, however, the same size group should be lvl 25+.
To get to kill the Vampire you must get the key, which is reset eq only, from the Mayor's desk in Daylight DeRah. Go nighttime DeRah and unlock the door to the Mayor and waste the Mayor/Vampire.
Some mobs actually get healed by Harms, so do not use that spell on the Gorgon and Undead Beast
The prisoner has Silver Bracers which are chained to the wall. To get them go Evil DeRah and kill him.
