Tangleroot Gorge

''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.''

Tangleroot Gorge is accessed via a caravan lead by Wransyl of Vedykar located in the northwest of House Phiarlan. This will take you to the The One-Eared Bugbear Inn, which is the entrance to the Wilderness Adventure Area.

Tangleroot Gorge has a level 4 Wilderness Adventure Area, allowing characters from levels 2 through 7 full XP rewards.

The One-Eared Bugbear Inn

 * Moritt Hastigal the Barkeep provides food and refreshments
 * Brother de Bucci the Spirit binder
 * Wransyl of Vedykar provides transport from Tangleroot Gorge back to House Phiarlan
 * Emeric Quall gives the quest Seeking Chief Ungurz, precursor to Assault on Splinterskull

Quests
The Assault on Splinterskull story arc of quests all take place in this zone, in addition to the Rare Encounter / Slayer / Explorer quests. This story arc is often just referred to as "Tangleroot" and rewards House Phiarlan favor.



Due to the wide range of quest levels in the chain, getting full XP in one run is extremely difficult.
