1: Land of Sacred Serpnts
Okay... so... there's actually nothing to do on this mission! We're off
to a roaring start! When you install the ToAU expansion pack and
register and do everything properly, this is
what you get in your mission log under the new Treasures of Aht Urghan
(man, first mission and I can already spell that correctly...) log. So
if you get this
mission, be happy, everything installed correctly. Now it's up to you.

In order to be allowed into the near east you need to complete the Road
to Aht Urghan access quest. After that's finished sail to the near
east
via Mhuara as explained in the quest. Enjoy your nice 15 minute boat
ride and contemplate how annoying it would be to have to take the ship
here every single time you want to visit this land. When you arive in
the new city, if you head straight forward to the shops you can find a
guy that will sell you maps
of the surrounding area. At the very least
pick up the map of the city.
At this point I HIGHLY recomend you forget about this guide for a
couple hours. Run around and activate no less than 15 quests. Unlock
blue mage or corsair or puppetmaster. Figure out where the
auction
house is, where the residence is, where the home point is (going
outside will probably eventually get you killed) and a little about
assault and
besieged and generally what's up in this city. It's probably a good
idea not to buy any items people are selling at this point, espcially
the imperial currency; it will almost all be expensive and you can get
some of your own soon enough. But after a while you'll notice that NPCs
are saying things like "I'm sorry, but this function is only available
for mercenaries." When you're tired of that sort of stuff, to progress
to mission two.
