Deep in the Jerall Mountains, the remote canyon known as Steelhead Cleft sports some new residents—who've given it a new name.

The Lion's Den gate

The Lion's Den is an isolated valley in the far west of the Rift.

Within the valley

The pass has recently become occupied by a contingent of Lion Guard elite troops, who have formed a large camp right under the Ebonheart Pact's nose.

There are seven champions in the Lion's Den. Themod is the first of them and is east of the water and on the east side of the rocks. The Den Mother is to the northeast of Themod. Derone is in the east in a major encampment. Lort is just to the southeast of Derone. A frost troll named Inulu is to the far northeast in a mountain cave accessed by the lone path leading east and then north. Sebastien is quite a bit south of Lort, and Stenric just southeast of Sebastien. The group challenge is in a separate cave which has a couple of entrances.
