A higher-level zone, this tour around the region should net you plenty of nodes.

This last route we've marked out for you, given it spans two whole territories.
Start at the New Balefire Shrine in the northeast of Mourningdale, and follow the route marked southwards, ending just northeast of the Restless Shore settlement.
