Adventure Zone: The Reghed Edge

Steam post image

“I had just received an urgent call for aid from our old friends over in Icewind Dale.

Remote settlements across the Reghed Glacier and the Sea of Moving Ice reported strange activities plaguing their homes. Nightmares, warped creatures, and disappearances have forced people to brave the freezing cold to Ten-Towns for help. The Speakers reached out to us to see if you could journey to one of these villages and find out what's going on.”

All the way north of the Spine of the World, the region north of Ten-Towns, known as The Reghed Edge, needs your help. The population of a local fishing village, Kaldrfisk, has been experiencing bizarre visions. People from all corners of Faerûn have found their way to the frozen village, clinging to the edge of the frozen sea. Time for the player to gather their thickest clothes and investigate frozen waterfalls, glowing geyser basins, and an ancient ruin.

Steam post image

The land suffers. Corruption eats into every corner, rousing the old magic. There are many things here that should never be disturbed. Climb into the Frostwood, a dense forest draped in snow, populated by dangerous creatures. Survive the Shattered Chasm, a vast gorge carved by time and frost where frozen cliffs plunge into darkness, with buried ruins being revealed by shards of blue light. Conquer six new Heroic Encounters, for the first time spread out over three arenas, including the Spirit Dragon.

The Reghed Edge is under constant assault from a deadly, shifting Encroaching Frost. Taking shelter is possible, but entering the storm and withstanding its debilitating effects is often the wiser choice to eventually reap great rewards. Earn Reghed Shards, our latest zone‑mechanic currency, by completing quests, opening chests, slaying Ice Mephits, Air Archons, and other enemies, and bringing down the Stormbound Reaver when it finally emerges from the blizzard. Whispers across Kaldrfisk claim that the more Heroic Encounters adventurers tackle, the faster a new Encroaching Frost begins to brew.

Dungeon: Jotunskar

Please note: The Dungeon will be open for testing during the weekend of May 1. To activate the Dungeon, get the Bane of the Frozen from the Wondrous Bazaar.

“You’re going to the ruins. It's insane, but if anyone can survive going down there, it's you.”

Steam post image

Slide your way through the slippery Jotunskar, where Frost Giants have succumbed to whispers, mobilizing under a mysterious new authority.

Delve into the darkness, defeat three mighty bosses, and seek the answers...

With three difficulty levels, every adventurer can test their strength:

  • Normal Mode – Accessible to all.

  • Advanced Mode – A steppingstone for mid-level players looking to push their limits. For now, Advanced Mode won’t be available in Random Queues.

  • Master Mode – A relentless challenge for the most skilled adventurers, emphasizing strategy and teamwork over raw stats.
