I actually loved Odus, specifically The Warrens and Stonebrunt Mountains. I just loved the idea of the kobolds vs the kejek, the wild roaming pandas, Tigers and gorillas, and the cool bamboo splint and cold iron armor that dropped from the highland kobolds. There was even a neat blue-tinted variant of the mail bamboo armor.
The idea that it was essentially a ghost town simply added to the mystique of it. I became sort of a mountain hermit, and would love to take my friends there and introduce them to all of the cool stuff the zone had to offer-- including the Wakizashi of the Frozen skies, a 1hs that procced an 81dmg DD.
I have good memories of the mad dash through the Warrens to the Stonebrunt zone line, pulse pounding from the adrenaline. It's a shame we may not see that any time soon, as it was implemented well into Velious.
