Shimmerene, Sil-Var-Woad, Eastern Pass, Sunhold

From the shimmering City of Lights to the remote and dangerous southeastern coastal promontory, this part of Summerset Isles features a number of ruins, ancient temples (including the Keep of the Eleven Forces with a portal to Artaeum), a delve cut into the western mountainside, and a main road that runs from Shimmerene to Sunhold, through the Eastern Pass, and into a forested area. This area is well traveled, including by the merchant Falordilmo, as the Eastern Pass is the key to reaching the southern city of Sunhold, now under siege by evil forces.

Indeed, the innkeeper is mostly correct, though the entrance to the grove is almost due south of Shimmerene, across a lake. Before you enter, meet Esterdel at the entrance, as he has a relevant quest to offer.

The interior of the delve is actually a mountaintop overlooking this region. However, it is inhabited by filthy werewolves and their ilk.

The animals in this Royal Menagerie appear to have gone berserk, and the surviving keepers hope you can solve the mystery of why. The sheer number and ferocity of the animals around these pens means adequate preparation must be made. The exterior of the zoo just north of the museum is known as the paddocks, where you’ll find roaming beasts and frightened keepers.

Sil-Var-Woad Conservatory and Museum

• Nearby Quests: Sunhold Sundered

The southern city of Sunhold serves as the home port of Summerset’s famed Dominion Navy. But with the High Elven fleets over the horizon fighting the Alliance War, Sunhold remains virtually unprotected.

Though the exterior walls of this mighty fortress city may look impenetrable, the relative peace of the exterior wooded beach belies the mayhem that lies behind the gates of a city under attack.

Speak to Kinlady Helenaere at the edge of the great settlement, and agree to burn the supplies of the Maormer raiders (which are dotted around the U-shaped harbor). Then strike the battlements to reach and rescue the city’s prized gryphon, Sunnawel. Along the way, and depending on the active quests, you will face one of the many bosses in combat. The adjacent map shows the true path through the city, which is also teeming with Sea Vipers and their brutish brethren, Snakeskins. Progress through the city streets, and the farther north and upward you travel, the more dangerous the enemies become (expect Storm Atronachs of various forms as you ascend, as well as champions to challenge you in the places indicated on the map). The culmination of this dungeon requires you to battle a boss at one of the two northern arenas.

This galleon-sized grotto can be purchased at some point after the game launch. Access it by sailing on the galleon moored at Alinor Docks.
