Eastham
Eastham was once a very busy town, with new adventurers crowding the beaches to hunt the gromnies and other beasts that lived there. the stronger ones even made the long run to Arwic, once the center of trade for all of Dereth.
These days, the town is not so busy. However, there are still some reasons to visit. The Aluvian mask maker lives here in the second floor of the smithy. The Aluvian shadow armor smith lives along the north road. A branch of the Title Bestower's Guild is set up here. Also, many shortcut portals for the Gaerlan quest are located here. And more recently, what seems to be a permanent portal to Asheron's Isle is open next to the town's windmill.
Getting to Eastham
There are portals to Eastham in the Jungle Shadows and Umbral Halls on the Vesayan Isles.
There is a portal to the Eastham beach a short distance outside of Kryst.
There is a portal to Eastham in a once abandoned outpost atop a mountain west of Shoushi. This outpost is now controlled by renegade lugians, and may be dangerous for the new adventurer.
Portals
Eastham has one portal out of town, and that is the Effigy Foundry bronze statue dungeon, which leads to Cragstone.
If you are willing to make a couple minute run north along the beach you can find a stone bunker with portals to Arwic and the southern mountain range of Linvak.
