Verdant Beach
Verdant Beach is a small, remote location on the southwestern edge of Elda Island. It’s surrounded by cliffs that lead high into the snowy peaks of the Azalei Mountains. An old trail winds up the cliffs and ends at Snowdew Inn, a well-known safe haven to those exploring the mountains.
Due to the beach’s distance from the city of Verdalia, not many people visit this isolated location. However, it remains a prime landing place for ships.
The cliffs above the beach feature some of the most prominent, beautiful crystals on the island. They can be seen even from Snowdew Inn. Many Healers consider it a favorite spot and visit the cliffside crystals once a year or more.
Farther down, toward the beach and at the base of a mountain waterfall, lies one of the several ancient Voek shrines across Elda Island.
