Players will be given access to this new area from May 13th, as part of the perk EOF will be available for convenient use after setting up in the Handy Settlement.

These regions will be aimed conveniently close to where players port across the Bahari from player plots and the travel board, which ensures smooth movement throughout.

The Elderwood is described as a magical, overgrown land infused with an unknown essence. It is owned by a faction known as the Umbren, who are more accepting of magic.

The Elderwood's landscape bears scars from a war that occurred roughly 30 years before the current gameplay timeline, resulting in the landscape being abandoned by the Umbren.

Players will learn more about this faction and their captivating history through quests.
