As far as I know, you are locked on that area (you can only visit Redwood Forest, Steppe, Snowy Mountains and its tavern) if you completed Northcres Conspiracy. Besides collecting some items and interacting with the npcs, there is not much to do. Hopefully the nex update will open more areas or the chance to come back to the old places, but you can't really move on the current version 

nothing is there yet. the Mountain is how we're going to get home later. just do the Dwarf tavern stuff to catch up so when they actually got stuff to do you can do it right away.
