Exploring the entirety of Athia takes a very long time. It's a huge continent with sprawling lands, sheer cliffsides, and dangerous enemies to avoid. Visoria, the land ruled by Tanta Olas, is the fourth region you'll visit in Forspoken, and it's a stormy land of green grass and bitter winds.
Exploring Visoria is no mean feat – there are brutal Mutants roaming the lands, more ambushes to deal with than anywhere else in Athia, and mysterious, illusory Lanterns who prove to be tough opponents in a fight, somehow. Read on to find out more about this mysterious, harsh region.
The Windy Hills
This relaxed area is a lot more serene than the rest of Visoria – treasure the relative peace while it lasts.
