No, there is no direct path from Swamp of Sorrows to Redridge Mountains.

Traveling Between Swamp of Sorrows and Redridge Mountains

While both zones are located within the Eastern Kingdoms, they do not share a direct border or immediate connection, whether by land or sea.

  • Sea Access Limitations:

    • Travel information for the Swamp of Sorrows region clarifies that there is no way to access zones such as Redridge Mountains, Badlands, or Burning Steppes directly from the sea. This means any attempts to travel to Redridge Mountains by water from the coastal areas around Swamp of Sorrows will not be successful.
    • Even after journeying into the Swamp of Sorrows and navigating its waters, for instance, to locations like Misty Reed Strand, a sea-based route to Redridge Mountains remains unavailable.
  • Overland Travel Considerations:

    • To journey between these two areas, adventurers must typically travel through at least one intervening zone. The established overland route involves moving from the Swamp of Sorrows northwest into Duskwood, and then proceeding northeast from Duskwood into the Redridge Mountains.
Zone Key Connections (Direct) Travel Notes
Swamp of Sorrows Blasted Lands, Duskwood A coastal zone, but direct sea routes to Redridge Mountains, Badlands, or Burning Steppes are not viable.
Redridge Mountains Duskwood, Burning Steppes Not directly adjacent to Swamp of Sorrows by land or sea; requires transit through an intermediate zone.

In essence, while it is possible to travel between Swamp of Sorrows and Redridge Mountains, it necessitates an indirect journey through at least one other zone, and a direct sea path does not exist.
