Introduction

The desolate badlandsknown as the Western Approach are as massive as they are barren. Bordered to the west by steppes and crawling with monsters, the Approach is a place most avoid and from which few explorers return. The Grey Warden fortress Adamant sits on the edge of a great chasm on the Approach’s southern reaches, one of the few remaining signs that the greatest battles of the Second Blight were fought here.

Locale Summary

Scouting Cost: 8 Power

The camp you arrive in at the Western Approach is somewhat misleading as to the size of this locale. A number of quests and one of the two dungeons in this locale are all in relatively close proximity. However, as you strike out to the west, the vastness of this desert soon becomes apparent. Extremely hostile creatures, including the Abyssal High Dragon, stalk these sands, and clouds of sulfur divide the western expanse. In addition to a keep to repossess from the Venatori, there’s a lot of work to do in the Western Approach, and a lot of ground to cover while doing so.
