General Information[]
Area Name: The Black Curtain
Region: Kryta
General Description: The dead swamps of the Black Curtain were once holy burial grounds next to which the Temple of the Ages was built. It has recently been plagued by a dark, hidden evil which has poisoned most of the swamp waters and plagued the area with Undead.

Notes[]
The Black Curtain vanquished
- Vanquishers must defeat 206-297 monsters in this area.
- Spread out before attacking the Bog Skale Blighters as they cast Spiteful Spirit, which can easily wipe a party, especially if you have a lot of heroes/henchmen, who will continue attacking regardless of the hex.
- The swamp areas cause poison. Skills that give constant health regeneration like Feel No Pain can be useful to counter this effect.
