Beran
There are a couple of different ways to reach Beran, either by sailing, or by Travelers Gate. Sailing will probably take you a bit longer, but since you've recently visited Tuhn, you're right in the neighborhood. The Beran Island continent occupies the south west portion of the sea. It's quite large and hard to miss. To access Beran, you'll need to dock on the south east side of the island. If you wish to reach it by Travelers Gate, you have many options. There are three Travelers Gates which will lead you to the Beran Monolith at the north tip of the island; One in the Cannock Monolith, one is in the monolith west of Moonbrooke, and the third is the center gate in the Fire Monolith (which itself can be accessed through Travelers Gate in the monolith north of Lianport, and the South Alefgard Monolith.) Once you reach the Beran Monolith, however, you'll have to walk quite a bit through the wilderness before you will reach Beran, so make sure that your party is at full strength before you go.
Beran is an oddly arranged town, built over a lake. Its inhabitants are equally mysterious. You'll learn a lot of unique information here, such as the whereabouts a crest, the existence of a weapon called the Thunder Sword, and the purpose of the Leaf of the World Tree. Many odd tiles can be found around the northern sections of town. They are like Barrier tiles, but they are even more destructive! Fortunately, Stepguard is equally effective on them.

The Road to Rhone
After taking the Traveler's Gate in Beran, you arrive in the center of more dangerous tiles. One more casting of Stepguard can help you cross over safely (it is far better to lose 1 MP than an abundance of hit points.) When you exit the monolith, you will find yourself in a new region. It happens to lie just to the west of Wellgarth, and is inaccessible by any other means. A walk to the west will seemingly result in a dead end. However, if you possess the Eye of Malroth, you have what you need to access the Road to Rhone. Simply stand in the swamp area, and use the Eye. It will trigger an earthquake and the entrance to Rhone will appear.
