Settlements

Bloodstone Landing (Exiles)

The entrance and exit to Crimson Badlands from Thayd, Bloodstone Landing is a small camp situated at the base of the transport ship. There are guards around the area that will destroy any hostiles that wander nearby. Amenities here include:

• Transport back to Thayd

Areas

Megatech Station

Still standing after all this time, the base has been overrun by the Dreg, now marginally more intelligent thanks to their augments. Exile characters gain quests that involve turning back the defense and communication systems, investigating strange energy signals that is revealed to be the Dreg trying to reactivate the Crimson Annihilator. The players then have to stop them.

Palehusk Village

The home of the now-augmented Dreg, both factions are tasked with burning down their towers, destroying their equipment, and getting a supply drop and protecting it from assault.

Aggregor's Gulch

Thanks to the tireless efforts of the Augmentors in the area, they have spawned a gigantic augmented Gronyx named Aggregor the Dust-Eater. Its mass has proven so great that it has split into numerous smaller, less dangerous "Shards of Aggregor."

The player can take a quest to collect their cores for study. The Shards and the core of Aggregor itself are two separate tasks.

Venombite Pass

AKA the Overrun Outpost, this valley has been overrun by augmented spiders. The players are tasked with controlling the populations by killing both the adult spiders and burning their eggs. They may also take on the Toxic Empress, should they have 2-3 friends handy.
