Players could choose to start at one of two landing points: Lion Point or Pride Point. From here on, events took place in Southsun Cove.

Players fought from Point Lion or Point Pride to clear the beach, set up siege, and establish a base on Southsun Shoals at Kiel's Outpost waypoint before forging a path through Dappled Shores. Lionguard cut down trees and fought karka and reef riders while making their way into the island.
