Blacktide Den is a hub for nefarious activities and shady dealings on Istan. It is sufficiently far from the centers of civilization on the island for it to be relatively ignored by the authorities.

“

This campsite at the edge of the Lahtenda Bog is a haven for all manner of shady characters and black market business. From corsairs attempting to escape justice to tomb-robbers looking to pawn their ill-gotten booty, to the odd Necromancer simply interested in the death and decay of the swampy bayou to the south, Blacktide Den provides the perfect meeting place: dark, dangerous and remote.

Notes

• Together with the Beknur Harbor, this is one of the first accessible locations where Nightfall characters are allowed a party size of 8.

• The world map actually marks this location with the icon for an outpost upon initial arrival. It changes into the icon for a mission outpost only upon completion of the quest that precedes the Blacktide Den mission.

• Complete exploration of this outpost will yield about 0.2% to the Elonian Cartographer title track.

Bug.Map travel to this outpost may show a warning about the party size being too large, despite it allowing 8 party members.
