Located on the bank of the [[River Chionthar]], 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 west sits a door to the [[Dank Crypt]], while to the north is the [[Emerald Grove]].
