==== Ravaged Beach ====
The [[Ravaged Beach]] is in the most SE quadrant of the '''Wilderness''' map. This area is labeled on the player minimap and is recognizable as the starting location for the player storyline.

=== Ravaged Beach ===
''For more information see: [[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]].
 
This is the [[Location]] the player arrives at immediately after the events of the [[Prologue]], and where the player is likely to encounter [[Shadowheart]] for the first time.
 
=== Nautiloid Wreck ===
''For more information see: [[Nautiloid Wreck]]''


==== Chapel Entrance ====
The Nautiloid Wreck from the Prologue divides the Ravaged Beach. A couple surviving [[Intellect Devourer]]s may pose a threat to unprepared players.  
The [[Chapel Entrance]] is a location in the SE quadrant of the '''Wilderness''' map. This location is just one portion of the [[Overgrown Ruins]]. This area is labeled on the player minimap and is recognizable as a crumbling edifice on a cliff.


This location is adjacent to the north of the [[Ravaged Beach]], and an unnamed region of the map known only as the [[Roadside Cliffs]].
The companion Astarion can be found close by the Nautiloid Wreck {{Coords|170|288}}.


==== "Roadside Cliffs" ====

'''Roadside Cliffs''' is a location in the SE quadrant of the '''Wilderness''' map. This area is <u>'''''unnamed'''''</u> on the player minimap and is recognizable for containing the burning wreckage of the [[Nautiloid]], as well as an upward winding roadway.
West of the [[Nautiloid Wreck]] on the far side of the beach is an old Harper's Cache. It can be found down a ledge near the water is a scuffed rock {{Coords|141|282}}. Succeeding on a [[Nature]] check will reveal deep grooves around it. If a character [[Strength|strong]] enough can move the rock, an Ornate Chest underneath will be revealed.

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.  


=== North East ===
The Roadside Cliffs are littered with broken Goblin traps. A malfunctioning Waypoint can be interacted with to find another companion, [[Gale]], who needs a hand after some wizardry went awry. A fully functional trap holds another potential companion, [[Lae'Zel]], who has been captured by tieflings.

==== Harper Outpost ====
Tucked away high in the Roadside Cliffs is a Harper Outpost, featuring a watchtower and a small spider-filled crevice {{Coords|160|373}}. A [[Silver Pendant]] can be found on a skeleton in the outpost {{Coords|152|366}}, while a less arachnophobic player can procure a [[Spider Egg Sac]].
