Scarab's Refuge

Scarab’s Refuge is a desolate, hostile expanse dominated by Scarak infestation. Resin-coated spires rise like skeletal fingers from the dunes, marking the entrances to sprawling hive networks beneath the surface. The northern part of the zone is home to the Great Hive, a colossal structure pulsating with etheric corruption, serving as the Scaraks’ central breeding ground. Around it, countless burrows and resin nests dot the landscape, creating a labyrinth of danger for any who dare enter. 

The air here is thick with the stench of resin and the constant chittering of Scaraks. Sinkholes collapse without warning, revealing tunnels crawling with insectoid horrors. The Scaraks have adapted to this region’s harsh conditions, turning it into a fortress of living resin and sand—a staging ground for their expansion northward.

Points of Interest

• The Great Hive: A towering resin structure in the northern zone, glowing faintly under moonlight. It serves as the Scaraks’ central nest and command hive. 
• Burrow Fields: Scattered across the zone, these burrows act as spawning pits for Scaraks and ambush points for unwary travelers. 
• Resin Spires: Jagged towers of hardened resin protruding from the sands, used as lookout points by hive sentinels.
