West Commonlands is a broad plain between the Freeport lands and Kithicor Forest, noticeably more dangerous than its eastern neighbor thanks to hill giants, werewolves, and orc war camps. The ruined city of Befallen sits in the middle of the zone, making this a key waypoint for adventurers heading to that dungeon.
Getting thereIt connects to East Commonlands to the east, Kithicor Forest to the northwest, and the Befallen dungeon via a stairway near the center of the zone. Travelers use it as the land bridge between the Freeport region and the Rivervale and Neriak areas.
EnemiesThe plains hold orcs (pawns, centurions, legionnaires, oracles), big cats and kodiaks, undead skeletons, zombies, mummies and ghouls, plus asps, giant spiders, cutthroat dervishes, werewolves, and wandering hill giants. Shadowed men lurk in a dangerous southwest camp.

Dangers
Wandering hill giants, griffins, kodiaks, and werewolves can crush a low-level character who strays into the open plains. The shadowed men in the southwest corner are especially dangerous and should be avoided by anyone under-leveled.
Tips
Stick near Befallen or the roads and keep an eye out for roaming giants and werewolves. The Befallen entrance camps like Kizdean Gix are reliable low-level group spots, and the zone is best crossed with speed buffs to avoid the aggressive wanderers.
