Crystal Caverns: Fragment of Fear

Overview

Crystal Caverns is a tier 1 zone accessed from the fort in the center of Eastern Wastes. The tunnels wrap around a central pit and are crawling with Ry'Gorr orcs. At the bottom of the pit a tunnel leads to the Coldain city of Froststone where most of the quest NPCs are located. On the other side of the city are paths containing tentacle terrors, spiders, geonids, and a few drachnids. There is an additional zoneout at the end of the geonid area, but it is exit only.
