This is the location of a Firewatch Fighter's Guild quest which is protector rank locked (TR_m1_FG_Mandaran). Most of the hostile NPCs within are level 1-5 with little if any gear. The actual target of the quest is level 14, but using auto-calculated stats so he's a pushover too. Weirdly the target of the quest also has dreugh armor and the savior's hide pauldrons, despite how unthreatening the stronghold is.

This quest should either be rebalanced as a low level quest without a rank lock, and the savior's hide pauldrons should be moved elsewhere. Or the hostile NPCs should be made significantly stronger and given better gear.
