The Bitter Pickle is a unique area south of Aughundell that is patrolled by Elementals and Ghosts, belonging to the region of the Aughundell Forest. The ghosts and, to a lesser degree, golems in this area drop bottle caps, a requirement for the epic quest The Bitter Pickle Bottle Cap Collection. It is pub-themed, with most ghosts being drunk in one way or another, and all of the golems are based off of types of alcoholic beverages.

The tale of the Bitter Pickle is a sad one. In its hey-day, "the Pickle" was a thriving pub, popular with visitors and renowned for it's friendly atmosphere, good food, and quantity of beverages on offer. The small farm kept by the Pickle owners easily catered for customers, ensuring a steady supply of fresh food for the kitchens.

The arrival of the Withered Aegis in Istaria quickly destroyed this idyllic location. Perhaps frustrated by their inability to defeat Aughundell, the Withered Aegis swiftly overran the undefended establishment. There is no record of the battle that took places, but wiser heads have speculated that the horror inflicted by the Withered Aegis on the poor workers at the Pickle must have been truly devastating. It left behind a twisted landscape full of Ghosts and Elementals, bent on destroying any who came within reach.
