This post from August 2001 (http://archaicarbitrators.yuku.com/topic/635/FM-Rare-Cycle-HowTo) indicates that there should be a wizard NPC named Finrin Talister sitting at #6 on the map of FM (at loc -2198, +1476 according to this Druids Grove post (http://thedruidsgrove.org/archive/eq/t-14325.html)).
Here are some of Mcoy's old logs from that era. Finrin should have text indicating that his location is a bind spot. That area should also be bindable for melee if it currently isn't.
[Wed Nov 14 21:24:17 2001] You begin casting Bind Affinity.
[Wed Nov 14 21:24:18 2001] Winterblaze slashes a goblin rockchanter for 15 points of damage.
[Wed Nov 14 21:24:18 2001] Winterblaze slashes a goblin rockchanter for 23 points of damage.
[Wed Nov 14 21:24:19 2001] Hephaeustus tells you, 'you we should get a druid or shammy'
[Wed Nov 14 21:24:20 2001] a goblin rockchanter's casting is interrupted!
[Wed Nov 14 21:24:22 2001] Panthurs slashes a goblin rockchanter for 18 points of damage.
[Wed Nov 14 21:24:23 2001] Panthurs is bound to the area.
[Wed Nov 14 21:24:39 2001] Finrin Talister regards you indifferently -- what would you like your tombstone to say?
[Wed Nov 14 21:24:40 2001] You say, 'Hail, Finrin Talister'
[Wed Nov 14 21:24:40 2001] Finrin Talister says 'Well met, Human. What brings you to this [legendary site]?
[Wed Nov 14 21:24:46 2001] You say, 'what legendary site?'
[Wed Nov 14 21:24:46 2001] Finrin Talister says 'As the legend goes, the ruins you see around us was no ordinary building. On this site was once a temple to one of the lesser gods, of which one or if even the god still exists is unknown. What is known is that this place still contains powerful enchantments allowing souls to bind here.
