The Realm of Dern

The Realm of Dern
Other Information
Dern is a realm that currently does not exist on the map, whose gateway is located south of Wynn at the end of the Silent Expanse.

The Realm of Dern also known Dern Province, is a mysterious place that has yet to be released.

According to the Storyline, the Villagers are aware that the Road to Dern (Silent Expanse) lies on the other side of the Abandoned Mines. It has been stated to be a place of darkness and is called a "far off dark land" by lead lore developer, Grian. He also has stated that in the lore of the game it is not considered a province, but should still be treated as one.

This has sparked much debate about whether it is a province or a realm. Many community members also believe that the dark area explored in the Fantastic Voyage quest could be Dern, but currently this is just theory and speculation.

Though the Dernel Jungle wasn't named after Dern, in the quest WynnExcavation Site D it is speculated to hold some ties with it.

In the 1.19 update, the Silent Expanse, also known as the Road to Dern, has been released and houses The Portal to Dern, although there is no way for the player to enter the portal at this current time.
