Tortage Island is a place for you to create your character in Age of Conan game which will shape your destiny in the near future. You wake up on the beaches of Tortage Island, where people call it the jewel of the Barachan Isles. This guide is to make you know your surroundings better and you have to decide your direction!
1. Tortage Beach As beautiful as it is deadly. Tortage Beach in AOC game is so famous for its sun, sex, sin, death and destruction, where you may have a fantasy that you’re in a tropical paradise with the crystal blue waters and the sandy beaches. The savage picts and the ruthless pirates living in this area will be sure to make you snap out of it pretty fast. This is where you first end up after having survived the sinking of the Stygian slave galley that you were being transported in.
2. Acheronian Gate You will feel you are surrounded by ancient Acheronian ruins soon after fighting your way through the jungle running up from Tortage Beach towards the center of the island. Violent volcanic activities on Tortage Island are causing architecture thousands of years old to shoot up from the ground and mix with the ramshackle housing of the local picts that now have set up base in the old ruins. Then you may find the gate may have been closed and the key might be hidden away in dark places that you have never thought about.
3. Tortage City Controlled by the Red Hand and ruled by vicious Storm, the mighty gates of Tortage City, which will be locked to you, will soon be visible in the distance. You will have to find a way to get in, and if you’re not busy getting wasted at the Thirsty Dog Inn you will most likely find yourself entangled in some deep political intrigue. A hive of scum and villainy, Tortage City is a place where you either kill – or get killed!
4. The Stone Quarry Just outside Tortage City is the stone quarry, now infested by all sorts of shady characters. Besides the regular assortment of bandits and pirates who have set up camp here, there are also rumors of demons having found refuge among the broken rocks. Turach, a Tortage City local, is working hard on making a nearby dam to keep the lava from reaching the city, and he is known to send adventurers to the quarry for stone.
5. Tortage Harbor The city of Tortage is one of the most known ports in the Barachan Isles, and it sports a deep harbor capable of accepting even the biggest ships braving these treacherous waters. But Strom and his minions have the harbor in a tight grip, keeping a very close look on who enters and who leaves the city by the waterway. A lighthouse has been erected here, but today it is mostly used to quarantine the less desirable who comes to Tortage City. It is from this harbor you will leave once you are ready to journey to the mainland.
6. The Swamp of the Dead This area of the island is tainted by incredible evil and the air is suffocating. Mithrelle, a local sorceress, have allowed her dark magic to influence this environment in ways that is far from natural, and the effects can be seen everywhere. They say that Mithrelle is experimenting on living beings and when she is done with them she dumps their bodies into the swamp. Here they rest eternally, but their rest is anything but peaceful.
7. Acheronian Temple The gigantic ruins of an ancient Acheronian temple lies on one side of Tortage Island, which is visible from the rest of the island for its towering size and the vantage point on the top is nothing short of breathtaking. Getting to that vantage point will prove difficult, though, as the area surrounding the temple ruins is littered with Pict encampments. Almost impossible to explore, the temple itself is infested by the savages.
