| Traveler's Vale |
Description
So called because of the numerous yak herds that rove throughout the area, Yak's Bend is the last refuge for travelers who are about to undertake the rough passage through the Shiverpeaks. Because of its lower altitude, the weather here is somewhat less harsh, providing a place to rest, regroup, and re-equip.
Getting there
Complete the Nolani Academy mission.
Alternatively, either travel northwest from Grendich Courthouse or north from Nolani Academy into Diessa Lowlands. From there, head northwest into the Ascalon Foothills, continue on into Traveler's Vale, before turning north to arrive at Yak's Bend.
Exits
- Shiverpeak Arena (north; by talking to Bromgar)

Notes
- From Yak's Bend onwards, the party size is increased to six.
- There are several skill quests here for all professions. The Ranger-only quest is available further away from Yak's Bend.
- As can be seen in the scenery and the clothes on the NPCs, the Shiverpeaks is a very cold place. A lot of creatures in this region are vulnerable to fire damage.
