Overview[edit | edit source]
Located on the bank of the River Chionthar, the Ravaged Beach is dominated by wreckage from the Nautiloid crash. Corpses of fishermen and Intellect Devourers dot the area. Several makeshift docks line the coast, but both them and the fishing boats that used them have been destroyed. To the east is an Ancient Door leading to the Dank Crypt. To the north is the Emerald Grove.
