This is a battle-scarred subtropical savanna. It is embraced by the titanic jagged mountains called Razorrock Ridge, located on the east side of the Shattered Lands upon the continent named D’Lere. Clumps of trees and kopjes are scattered throughout the landscape. Many battles have been waged on these lands and orc and human ruins are common sights amidst the beautiful and deadly land.

Lore Edit

The Commonlands was once a haven for the Deathfist Empire orc legions. The Deathfist Empire seemingly was driven from the Commonlands during the Battle of Defiance. As of the recent decade, the orcs have begun to make a presence in the region again. What brings them back is unknown.

- from Cogglesworth's Tour of Norrath: Part 3

Geography Edit

The Commonlands are open plains and gentle hills, with almost no barriers to travel. Each large plain is dominated by specific types of creatures. Roads and streams crisscross the Commonlands and are mostly safe from dangers, and may be used by players to travel between each major section of the zone.

Travel Edit

Three griffon towers are available for fast travel between major sections of the Commonlands:

The Commonlands dock is a travel hub, giving quick access to three regions within The City of Freeport . It also gives direct access to Nektulos Forest docks, Thundering Steppes docks, and Freeport Guild Halls.

The Ulteran Spires located just west of the Crossroads allow travel to the Tenebrous Tangle in the Overrealm.

Quests Edit

Quests are found throughout this zone, often in unexpected places, such as an overturned boat or a logpile. The main quest line leads players from the Freeport gates through almost all major quest areas, giving players opportunities to discover most other quest lines in the zone.

The Crossroads is the largest quest hub in the Commonlands. Another good opportunity for quests lies nearby in the adjacent zone of Darklight Wood , where more than forty quests can be found at Wanderlust Fair at the same level range as the Commonlands.
