Shard's Landing

Overview

Shard's Landing is the initial hub zone for Rain of Fear. You reach it either by guild hall portal (once the server has unlocked it by turning in enough shards to Magus Burlshin), on foot from City of Bronze, or via druid/wizard portal. There is a camp in the center of the zone with various npc quest gives, merchants, and portals to the rest of the expansion. Animal mobs here are generally non-kos.
