The Grounds

Adjacent Zones edit The Well House of Thule About the Zone edit This is the large garden region just outside the House of Thule. The garden is the typical expression of a wealthy landowner’s love of things that grow; now given a sinister, disturbing twist. Creatures which were once part of the Garden’s normal denizens are found here. This zone is primarily for hunters for groups of reasonably well geared level 85 characters. Since the only way to gain access to this zone is by going through the Mansion, characters will need at least some gear from the lower level zones in order to be do well in this zone Recent Changes edit HoT/Zones/thegrounds/changes
