Scosglen location on map
At the top of Diablo 4's playable landmass is Scosglen, which has a long coastline along The Frozen Sea. To its south are the regions of the Dry Steppes and Fractured Peaks:
Terrain similar to Scotland
Home to the Druid people, Scosglen is composed of four types of land:
- Coast
- Forest
- Grasslands
- Highlands
While beautiful, Blizzard describes the land as savage [1]:
"This is the ancestral home of the Druids and where their secrets are hidden. It's an untameable, rugged, and beautiful land with these deep forests and rocky highlands. It's also savage, untamed, and wild. There's a constant gloomy rain and fog."Harrison Pink · Senior Diablo IV Quest Designer ·

Beasts, Drowned, & Goatmen
The rugged region is home a variety of dangerous monsters that include large beasts, creatures from the Drowned family of monsters, and a longtime Diablo monster favorite, the Goatmen (Khazra monster family):
"There's creatures waiting in the forest to drag you back in or monsters like the Drowned waiting to pull you back into the ocean. The people that live in Scosglen are constantly pushing back on this encroaching wilderness. Goatmen are slaughtering farmers mere feet from their town's torchlight. The people that live here are huddled together in their huts hoping their numbers will keep them safe, but the moment they leave the safety of civilization, they find themselves lost and surrounded by these feral nightmares."
Scosglen gameplay footage
In the video below, we see a Barbarian exiting a dilapidated fishing town on Scosglen's rocky coast. The character is then seen jumping across a stream and climbing up a ladder, where he finds monsters of the Drowned family with squid-like heads and maces as weapons.
Sounds of Scosglen
Scosglen's dense forests provide sounds of rain, insects, swaying trees, and distant howls.
On its coastline, you can hear waves crashing, blustery winds, and seagulls squawking.
