Trollshaws Quests Guide: Part 1
By: Martuk
The Trollshaws is a great place for any mid level adventurer to work on gaining a few more levels. This area provides a great place to gain quests, experience, and items. There are three key areas players will take interest of within the Trollshaws. The Elven city of Rivendell which lies to the east on the border of the Misty mountains, the small outpost to the south known as Echad Candelleth will provide many opportunities to delve into the new area of the Tal Bruinen, and another outpost resting near the center of the Trollshaws known as Thorenhad. These three areas will be the players primary source of quests in the trollshaws. There are more, but these areas will provide the most robust selection.
(Note: Below is part 1 of our quest guide series of the Trollshaws. They are arranged by levels and linked to their respective quest chains.)
