Kor Dragan Stronghold: The Kor Dragan Stronghold is situated in the northern part of the Fractured Peaks, above Menestad.

To complete each Stronghold, players need to defeat bosses and complete objectives, such as destroying demonic effigies or eliminating enemy forces.
Once a Stronghold is completed, players need to light the Wanderer’s Shrine to turn it into a public space.
Players can expect to encounter more Strongholds in the other four Regions of Diablo 4: Hawezar, Dry Steppes, Scosglen, and Kehjistan.
