Located on the bank of the [[River Chionthar]], the Ravaged Beach is dominated by wreckage from the [[Nautiloid]] crash. Corpses of fishermen and [[Intellect Devourer]]s dot the area. Several makeshift docks line the coast, but both them and the fishing boats that used them have been destroyed. To the east is an Ancient Door leading to the [[Dank Crypt]]. To the north is the [[Emerald Grove]].


This is the [[Location]] the player arrives at immediately after the events of the [[Prologue]].
=== East beach ===
After the events of the [[Prologue]], the player character will begin [[Act One]] on the beach. If {{CharLink|Shadowheart}} was rescued from the [[Mind Flayer Pod]] during the Prologue, she can be recruited into the party at {{Coords|273|223}}. If Shadowheart was not rescued from the pod, she can be recruited near the Overgrown Ruins {{SmIconLink|Waypoint Map Icon.png|Waypoint}} at {{Coords|276|298}}. The Ancient Door next to this waypoint can be opened with a {{SkillCheck|Sleight of Hand|20}}, which grants access to the [[Dank Crypt]], a sublocation of the [[Overgrown Ruins]]. If the party fail to open the door, the [[Dank Crypt]] can still be accessed through the [[Chapel Entrance]] or the [[Refectory]].
