Howling Mountains (from level 1)
Surmount your initial challenges and seek out your first allies amidst idyllic greenery and treacherous pitfalls.
Sascilia Steppes (from level 1)
Visit the caravans and cities of the Whitefurs and Blackhorns – just don’t get caught in their crossfire. Also be on the lookout for wily bandits, cyclopes and perilous swamplands.
Silverspring (from level 10)
An abbey, farms and fertile lands once promised peace. Yet an ominous howling can now be heard in the towns and in the fields. Suppress this bane and prevent the region from utter ruin.
Varanas (from level 10)
People from all walks of life can be found within the city walls of Varanas: travellers, scholars, craftsmen and merchants. You’re sure to meet like-minded adventurers here, along with whatever else you may need.
Aslan Valley (from level 20)
One must be particularly cautious here, in the pristine natural surroundings of Aslan Valley. In these forests lurk scavengers, plunderers, reprobates, ents and vicious beasts.
Dragonfang Ridge (from level 20)
Bundle up and have your weapon at the ready. In these icy canyons, you’ll encounter ice dwarves and cyclopes who don’t take kindly to visitors. They’ll greet you with a heavy fist to the face if you’re not careful.

Dress warmly and be ready for anything! These frozen heights are plagued by all kinds of odious creatures: from gigantic minotaurs to dainty but deathly cold fairies.
Dust Devil Canyon (from level 40)
Don’t think any form of life could survive in such parched, dusty climes? Then go ahead and try your luck in the formidable dunes. Then you’ll see just how many giant scorpions, lizards and spiders actually thrive here.
Ravenfell (from level 45)
Beaches, fishing villages and harbours attract not only adventurers, but also pirates. Round up these smugglers, hustlers and thieves and exile them from paradise.
