The Isle of Refuge, or Outpost of the Overlord, is your first stop before arriving in the lovely city of Freeport. This isn't your dad's Isle of Refuge. Those goblins you used to kill? Replace them with highly mobile, and dangerous Tunarian elves. They aren't the cute kind who work for Santa either. They'd love nothing more than to skewer you and mock your corpse

The Qeynos Isle of Refuge you can still see some similarities with, but here you'll recognize nothing but the terrain. From the moment you walk in, you'll see a slew of new NPC's and a completely different set of quests to entertain and challenge you. Step foward, and hail Tayil N'Velex to begin your journey into evil.

Main Quests:
