The Twilight Strand (Act 1)

The Twilight Strand is the first area of Act 1 and is connected to Lioneye's Watch.

The beginning
Newly created characters begin washed up on the beach. Players start with 3×, a in flask slots 1 and 2, and a  in flask slot 5. A class-dependent weapon with two linked sockets can be found on the ground nearby, and the Hungry Corpse that kills the Dying Exile drops a class-dependent skill gem when killed.

Halfway along the shore there is a Large Chest containing a support gem for the skill gem dropped earlier, also class-dependent.
