Coming soon. In development. The sites are placed and checked on the server, but nobody has explored them in a real game client yet. Details may change before the Forgelands opens.
The Forgelands has fourteen points of interest: five on the peninsula, three on Forgeheart Isle and six on the islets. Each has its own landmark, and each is guarded by group-tier enemies.
Forgeheart Isle
A giant volcano island off the east coast, across the Ember Crossing. It is about 17.5 square kilometres, and it is the heart of the region.
- Forgeheart, the volcano, with lava rivers running from its caldera to the sea, and the three cave mouths into the Forgeheart Caldera.
- Ashfall Harbour, the isle's harbour and caravan port.
- The Ancient EmberForge Shrine, the hub for the region's quest-givers, above the harbour. Aurora appears here.
- The Lava-Falls Overlook, a vista where the lava drops away, with a rare elemental to find.
- The Harbinger Grounds, where the Harbinger descends.
- Elite camps on the shore and on the volcano's cone, and roaming packs that patrol the slopes. The isle holds the toughest open-world fights in the region.
The peninsula
- The Obsidian Quarry, at the end of the north lava river: top-tier obsidian and basalt, guarded by obsidian golems.
- The Forge Ruin of the Emberwrights, beside a lava lake in an old crater: the start of the region's story, overrun by fire-crawler packs.
- Shipwreck Cove, an east-coast cove: the best sport fishing on the coast, and the way out to the Kraken.
- The Sulfur Vent Field, on the high plateau of the north arm: swarms of magma oozes and rare reagents.
- The Sea-Cliff Watchtower, on the north-east headland: a beacon that guilds will want to hold.
The six islets
North-east of the isle, six small islands are scattered across the sea, sized and spaced like the small islands off Verra's west coast. You need a boat to reach them, and each has its own point of interest and its own group-tier pocket of enemies.
| Islet | Size | What is there |
|---|---|---|
| Wraithkeel Reef | 0.06 km² | A shipwreck |
| Cinder Saint's Rock | 0.12 km² | An old shrine |
| Blackwake Cove | 0.16 km² | A smugglers' hideout of crates and barrels |
| Sulfurspit | 0.085 km² | A lava vent of steam and basalt |
| Ashwatch Rock | 0.06 km² | A ruined watchtower |
| Emberwing Rookery | 0.21 km² | A nesting ground of bones and eggs |
