When you emerge from the [[../Leaf|Sealed Cave]], you will emerge in the vast Cordel Plains. The enemies here are stronger, and for the first time you will run into enemies who will not react to the Sword of Wind. For now, though, just head south and through the gates west to the town of Brynmaer.

Here, you can purchase slightly better equipment, but they tend to be a bit more expensive. You may wish to buy a shield now as some of the enemies in the Cordel Plains can attack you with projectiles. You can talk to the villagers for information. In particular, someone in the tavern (at the far left) will leave in excitement in the direction of Mt. Sabre.
After you exit the cave, the town of Brynmaer is found on the left. Here, you can purchase slightly better equipment, but they tend to be a bit more expensive.

[[File:Crystalis Brynmaer OnyxStatue.png|thumb|right|The Statue of Onyx is hidden in the grass.]]The most important person to find at this point is a man named Akahana, near the entrance. He lost a Statue of Onyx near the river. To find it, head east, cross the bridge, and head to the patch of grass on the left. In the NES version, you'll collect the statue, while the GBC version requires you to open a chest.

Return to Brynmear and give the statue. Akahana will thank you, and give you a Gas Mask, as well as a training location.
To continue, you will have to head to the east to reach the poisonous forest. The dark spots on the map represent toxic marsh and will damage you as long as you stand in it. You can use the Rabbit Boots to hop across these patches and minimize your exposure and damage. Equip the Gas Mask before proceeding east into the Forest of Oak.
Head to the north until you reach the village of Oak. Here you will find that no one wants to talk to you. Return south, and head to the training school just northeast of Brynmear.
The training school is the home of Tornel, the second Elder, and he will test you by making you spar against Stom. This button-mashing competition requires you to press the button to attack as often as possible to push him back to the wall. You can't win on the first two spars, with you being told that you should return when stronger. This is incorrect; the correct procedure is to fail the first two spars, and win on the third (although there's no harm in spending time to level up.) When you defeat Stom, Tornel will teach you the Telepathy spell, which allows you speak with animals, and to contact elders at a distance. He will then say he will offer another spell if you can find the Tornado Bracelet. You will do this later, at Mt. Sabre.
You should have everything to head to Oak now.
