{{hatnote|Main article: [[Ravaged Beach]]}}
Located on the bank of the [[River Chionthar]], and the far south-east of the mini-map, the [[Ravaged Beach]] is dominated by the wreck of a [[Nautiloid]]. Corpses of fishermen and [[Intellect Devourer]]s dot the area. There are several makeshift docks, but both them and the fishing boats that used them seem to have been destroyed. To the north-west is a door to the [[Dank Crypt]], while to the north is the [[Emerald Grove]].

The Nautiloid Wreck from the Prologue divides the Ravaged Beach. A couple surviving [[Intellect Devourer]]s may pose a threat to unprepared players.
 
The companion Astarion can be found close by the Nautiloid Wreck {{Coords|170|288}}.

West of the Nautiloid Wreck on the far side of the beach is a cache left by [[Harpers]]. It can be found down a ledge near the water is a scuffed rock {{Coords|141|282}}. Succeeding on a passive {{Ability Check|Nature|10}} will reveal deep grooves around it. If a character [[Strength|strong]] enough can move the rock, an Ornate Chest underneath will be revealed.

Ravaged beach[edit | edit source]

The map areas that constitute the SE quadrant of the Wilderness.
Main article: Ravaged Beach

Located on the bank of the River Chionthar, and the far south-east of the mini-map, the Ravaged Beach is dominated by the wreck of a Nautiloid. Corpses of fishermen and Intellect Devourers dot the area. There are several makeshift docks, but both them and the fishing boats that used them seem to have been destroyed. To the north-west is a door to the Dank Crypt, while to the north is the Emerald Grove.

This is the Location the player character arrives at immediately after the events of the Prologue, and where Shadowheart Shadowheart is likely to encountered for the first time.

Roadside Cliffs[edit | edit source]

Main article: Roadside Cliffs

The Roadside Cliffs sprawl north of the Nautiloid Wreck and south of the Emerald Grove, between the Forest in the west, and the Overgrown Ruins in the east. Potential companions Gale Gale and Lae'zel Lae'zel can be rescued and recruited here.
