Tangleroot Gorge

Overview
To the southwest of Stormreach lies the untamed Tangleroot Gorge. Home to many fierce hobgoblin and bugbear tribes, Tangleroot Gorge also contains the infamous Hobgoblin fortress of Splinterskull.

This adventure zone is accessed via a caravan located in House Phiarlan. That caravan will take you to the The One-Eared Bugbear Inn, which is the entrance to the Wilderness Adventure Area.

Tangleroot Gorge is a level 4 Wilderness Adventure Area, allowing characters from levels 2 through 7. A total of 24,583 xp is possible.

A map of the zone can be found here. ***Warning - Spoilers***

Missions
In addition to the Rare Encounter / Slayer / Explorer mission typical to all Wilderness Adventure Areas the Assault on Splinterskull story arc of quests all take place in this zone.
