Lahtenda Bog

The Lahtenda Bog is a swampy lowland area situated in the southwestern corner of the island of Istan. It is dotted with old ruins, including old Sunspear crypts and tombs, that suggest that the area may once have been drier. Now it is a relatively dangerous place populated by large numbers of Insects, groups of Skale, hidden Mandragors, and Skree harpies. Corsairs are also known to frequently carry out their illegal activities in this area.

Getting there
Although accessed via the mission outpost of Blacktide Den, there is no requirement of needing to complete the Blacktide Den mission beforehand. Slightly further along the storyline, the primary quest War Preparations (Ghost Reconnaissance) will lead characters to this area.

Secondary quests that take place in this area include Down on the Bayou, Crypt-ology, and To Ask For More.
