Roots of Yggdrasil



Roots of Yggdrasil is a biome in Rend. It resides at the very center of the Map, beneath Yggdrasil. The Roots of Yggdrasil is one of the more difficult areas of the Rend map.

The way to Roots of Yggdrasil is generally blocked by the tall and dangerous snow-capped mountains of Frystfel, but breaks in those mountains exist near each Byway Capture Point.

Reaching the Roots of Yggdrasil therefore generally requires locating a Byway Capture Point &mdash; located midway between every two consecutive Faction Strongholds, on the border between Skarsyre and Dreadveil &mdash; and heading towards Yggdrasil. Although this is the most viable route, it is still treacherous and requires careful navigation. It contains dangerous creatures, cold temperatures, dense foliage, several bottomless pits, and steep hills that block paths.
