Difference between revisions of "Dun Valley"

Deep within the [[Vashnar Mountains|Western Vashnars]], a trail leads down into the canopied jungle of '''Dun Valley'''. The valley was discovered in 250 AF during the [[Dun Valley Saga]] when Sapience pushed back invading [[ogres|ogre]] and [[orc]] forces who were under the command of the [[Tsol'teth]] [[Zh'risia]] and his ogre henchman [[Kroul]].  

At the very centre of the valley lies a massive volcano atop which the villages of [[Gar'nok]] and [[Thalagor]], as well as the [[Dun Fortress]], can be found. Dun Fortress is ruled by the ruthless ogre baron, [[Vukub Ysin'zhu]].

Guarding the pass into the valley and patrolling the trail along its northern edge, adventurers will find aggressive mountain lions to be wary of. The jungle itself is a humid, steamy place teeming with wildlife, including opossum, tree frogs, jaguars, raccoons, gorillas, poisonous [[snakes]], even a hippo and an elephant. A river runs through the jungle infested with piranhas, its source hidden within a cavern on the western side of the valley. At the end of its course, the river filters into a swamp where crocodiles and giant [[crabs]] may be found.

The winding trails and close vegetation of the valley creates an isolated environment for those who wish seclusion, and the exiles [[Tolonar]] and [[Kaanan]] can be found hiding in the valley. Students of the [[Rajamala|Rajamalan]] [[languages|language]] may seek out [[Numenesse]] to further their knowledge. Near the source of the river lies a primitive village of cavemen led by their chieftain [[Talus]]. A [[commodities|commodity shop]] can be found nearby, stocking gold, silver, and bone.
