[[Gazluk]] is a frozen tundra region beyond the [[Kur Mountains]]. The area is mostly known for the once public Gazluk City and the tragic incident of [[Prestonbule]]. [[New Prestonbule Cave]] is the only friendly zone. Outside of this there are several other towns, but these towns are inhabited by either Orcs, or [[Incorporeal Creatures]]. The [[Gazluk]] underground is crisscrossed by a maze of interconnected caverns. Underneath [[Gazluk City]], the massive stronghold of [[Gazluk Keep]] can be found.

==Points of Interest==
==== New Prestonbule Cave ====
The [[New Prestonbule Cave]] was once a cavern used by the residents of Prestonbule as a storehouse. After the Orc raid on the recently established town, a number of survivors opted to seek shelter in the cave instead of trying to return to the southern Council Lands. Most of the former residents of Prestonbule have now died, but a group of friendly travelers has set up camp inside. Their camp inside the cave provides amenities such as a [[Tanning|tanning rack]] and a [[Cooking|campfire]].
==== Prestonbule ==== <!-- This was previously titled "New Prestonbule". Bellema Deftwhisper says the cave itself was named New Prestonbule by the settlers within it, but the town which is now occupied by ghosts is and always has been "Prestonbule". -->
This Council settlement was a once-peaceful town built at the edge of the Gazluk plateau. After a new Orc faction took over Gazluk City, the town was attacked. The remaining buildings are now inhabited by hostile [[Horrific Ghost]]s.
==== Gazluk City ====
As the name suggests, this is a large castle-like town populated by various factions of usually hostile Orcs. The entrance to [[Gazluk Keep]] can be found within its walls.
====Orc Camp North====
This Orc encampment is guarded by orcish swordsmen, archers, and mages. This camp lies just West of the Orc town.
====Orc Camp East====
This Orc encampment is guarded by orcish swordsmen, archers, and mages. This camp lies just East of the Snowblood Shadow Cave.
====Orc Camp West====
This Orc encampment is guarded by orcish swordsmen, archers, and mages. This camp lies just North of New Prestonbule Cave.
====Orc Camp South====
This Orc encampment is guarded by orcish swordsmen, archers, and mages. This camp lies just West of New Prestonbule Cave.
==== Glowing Crystals ====
These [[Glowy Yellow Crystal]]s might provide some warmth, but travelers should stay away from them if they value their health. There are several groupings of them placed throughout the map.
==== Animal Camp ====
The animal camp is home to two animal NPCs so far: [[Fluffikins]], and [[Trekker]], as well as two humanoids: [[Aven]] and [[Aralorn]]. This camp is also surrounded by the glowy yellow crystals, so watch out for them. A [[Candlemaking|Candle Station]] can be found at the Animal Camp.
