Springlands

Springlands

Peaceful woods and meadows, and the first taste of the Shroud.

Resources	Salt Flintstone Shroud Wood

The Springlands are the starting region of Embervale and the gentlest of its biomes: temperate woods, meadows and farm fields, with ruined villages on the hills and the first Shroud-filled valleys below them. Enemies run from level 1 to 10. This is where you wake, build your first base, rescue the craftspeople from their vaults and craft your first glider and grappling hook.

The eastern part of the region is the Low Meadows sub-region, with a spire of its own.

How to Get to Springlands

You start here. After waking in the Cinder Vault you pass through caves, where the first Fell wait, to the first Return Beacon: your respawn point until you place a Flame Altar. The quest Claim A Spot For Your Base has you build one from 5 stone near Longkeep.

Strengthening the Flame to level 2 opens the denser Shroud in the south-west, the north-west and the east. Level 3 opens Revelwood to the north and needs the Scavenger Matron Helmet; she lives north-east of the spire and is found through the quest The Alchemist's Rumors. The Nomad Highlands to the east wait until Flame level 4.

Ancient Spire

The Springlands spire stands just north of the Cinder Vault. Climb it and speak to the Flame to unlock it for fast travel and mark the region's Ancient Obelisks: In A World Destined For Ruin in the west, and The Flame Touched Face in the Low Meadows. Each obelisk in turn marks the Shroud Roots and Flame Shrines. The quests The Ancient Spires and Fast Travel walk you through it.

Flame Shrines and Sanctums across the Springlands and the Low Meadows give 1 Spark each and refill over time. They stand north and west of Rookmore, south of Ferndale, south of Moth's Grove, east of the Small Flint Mine, south of Saline Quarry, south of Netherton and north of Vukah Ceremony Hill, with Sanctums south-west of Peaceful Acres, west of Wescott, east of Mistbury Catacombs, east of Hillock and east of the Carpenter's vault.

Locations

Places closer to the Springlands spire than to the Low Meadows one; the rest are on the Low Meadows page. Scavengers first appear just north of Braelyn Bridge (quest Bridge Construction Report).

Shroud

Three Elixir Wells feed the Shroud here, east of Braelyn Bridge, east of Woodgard and west of Ferndale; the first and last are guarded by a Fell Thunderbrute boss. Shroud Roots grow south of Peaceful Acres, north-west of Woodgard and east of the Small Flint Mine. Felling one gives skill points to every Flameborn nearby; the quest Clear The Elixir Well teaches it.

A Gem Forge stands south of Moth's Grove, and a Shroud Lair west of Ferndale.

Resources

Salt and Flintstone are the region's own materials. Salt comes from Saline Quarry and the Egerton Salt Mines, flint from the Small Flint Mine and the Wolf Cave. Fresh Shroud Spores, Midnight Lilies and fireflies only show at night.

Lore

The Springlands were the southern heartland of the fallen kingdom. Longkeep still flies the war banners of King Gormander, and after Pikemead's Reach fell, Queen Jezmina led her people here. The Cinder Vault is where the Flameborn slept in Cinder Vessels until the Flame woke them. Journals to find: Captain's Journal, Love Letter To Queen Jezmina, Welcome To Fort Kelvin, Salt Mine Tunnels and Southern Caravan.

Notes

Lunar New Year trader Mei-Yin Chen appears seasonally on the road near the Ring of Rot.
