== Walkthrough & Notes ==
# Make your way to the Drudge balloon fort at 12.1S, 92.7W.
#* Go inside the statue portal in the middle of [[Ayan]] and take the [[Fort Tethana]] portal on the left.
#* If you have a large group it is worth the time to tie to the entrance portal of the [[War Room]], it will save everyone else a run of 8–10 minutes.
#* You can also take the [[Northwest Direlands Portal]] from [[Aerlinthe]] for a shortcut.
# Kill drudges in the fort until you've found the {{Itemlink|Drudge Key (Red)|Red}}, {{Itemlink|Drudge Key (Silver)|Silver}}, {{Itemlink|Drudge Key (Black)|Black}}, and {{Itemlink|Drudge Key (Green)|Green}} Drudge keys.
#* If you have lockpick you can skip this part.
# Go inside the portal to the [[War Room]]. The portal is in the middle of the courtyard of the fort.
#* From the drop use pick the door or use the black Drudge Key and head east.
#* Stick right until you come to the next locked door, use the silver Drudge key.
#* Stick left to the next locked door and use the red Drudge Key.
#* Continue sticking left to the last locked door and use the green Drudge key.
# The [[Drudge Aviator (Creature)|Drudge Aviator]] spawns above you on a platform near a table.
#* Run through the chamber to the west wall and follow the ramp up (it circles over the chambers).
#* When you reach the ledge, shift-jump over to the [[Drudge Aviator (Creature)|Drudge Aviator]] near the table on the platform.
#* Be aware of the "Escape Route" exit portal directly under the ledge. He's guarded by a group of Drudge Toilers on a fast respawn rate.
#* Kill the Drudge Aviator and retrieve the {{Itemlink|Flying Machine Plans}} and {{Itemlink|Flying Machine Instructions}} from its corpse. There is only one set per corpse (5 min respawn).
# Once you have both take the "Escape Route" exit portal, climb the tower and give the [[Flying Machine Instructions]] to the [[Drudge Flying Machine]]. The flying machine balloon will portal you back to the hill south overlooking [[Ayan Baqur]] and [[Aludi al-Jaladh]] will be behind you.
# Give the plans to [[Aludi al-Jaladh]] for your rewards. Aludi also accepts any leftover keys for a trivial amount of xp and pyreals.
