Mastering Scosglen in Diablo 4

Diablo IV introduces an expansive open-world format featuring five distinct regions: Kehjistan, with a particular focus on its northern desert expanse, Scosglen, the Dry Steppes, the Fractured Peaks, and the swamplands of Hawezar. These regions are significantly larger than any found in Diablo III, ranging from 10 to 20 times their size.

Seamlessly interconnected, players can traverse these areas without encountering any interruptions. Notably, the geographical landscape of these regions undergoes dynamic shifts to accommodate this connectivity. For instance, when journeying from the Fractured Peaks to Hawezar in the south, players will witness a cascade of waterfalls as melting snow enriches the surrounding swamps.

Scosglen

Players can find Scosglen in the northeastern part of Sanctuary. The region is the homeland of everyone's favorite shapeshifting, lightning, and earth magic-wielding poets the Druids. The area features rugged terrain with dense dark forests, rocky highlands, and a large powerful oak tree Glór-an-Fháidha which is a source of knowledge, guidance, and worship for the Druids.

Scosglen Lore

Scosglen is home to the Druids, with a rugged and wild untamed landscape populated by dense forest and rugged cliffs. Unprepared explorers should be weary when traveling unprepared as the forest is inhabited by Werewolves and the coastline is home to sea-faring creatures known as the drowned. These drowned enemies are undead bodies of souls that met an untimely death at sea.

Those who survive long enough to meet the region's friendly inhabitants will find ancient stone towers populated by Druids. Unlike other societies, the Druids do not care for dense urban centers, favoring small settlements located near these towers.

As one moves to the coast things become more sparse and less stable. Those who live on the coast create structures of almost any materials that they can lay their hands on. Homes and buildings sit in total disrepair from a combined lack of resources and a barrage of the elements coming from the frozen sea.

Ancient structures long since abandoned are scattered across the sunken mire, and the absence of human activity might have something to do with an ongoing eerie sense of being watched. Still, despite the sense that something unnatural looms in the distance, the notion that treasure and glory may await tempts even the most cautious being. Welcome to the Shrouded Moors”
