Q: What is the Aqueduct?
A: It's the base testing area for new adventurers who seek Aeowyn's rewards... the Queen, in her search for Immortality, built this as a way of controlling the waters that flow in and out of her palace. She then modified it to be just one of the steps, the first step towards her - and your - victory...
Q: What do I need to do first?
A: Once you first enter, go through the door on the left, the north. Go through the door on the east, and you will be in the center portion of the Aqueduct. This is where all the magic starts. First thing you need to do once you're on the bridge is get the rope. It is located at I,3. The water takes away 1/7 of your life every time you step forward (turning doesn't count), so be sure to drop on a platform when you can reach one. Note that you can't heal in the water. Once you have found the Rope, stick it in your chest or quest bag and head to G,1. Pick the lock, turn west and go through the teleport. This leads to the Reservoir, which houses Lord Aqueus, who must be defeated to progress (remember that locked door North of the bridge? Also, once you defeat Lord Aqueus, you will be able to travel through the waters of the aqueduct without taking damage. (But be on the lookout for some particularly nasty whirlpools!)
