The valley of '''Xhaiden Dale''' lies snug in the Northern [[Vashnar Mountains|Vashnars]], discovered in the year 427AF. The area is sectioned into four quadrants, each home to a different group and divided by the [[Jav River]]. To the northwest, the quiet village of Onorel can be found. The Obele monastery lies in the hills to the northeast below [[Mount Tehwet]]. [[Ka'ahlen Swamp]] is located in the southeast, and the hidden caves called Ganeve Den are in the southwesternmost region of the valley. | |||

==Culture== | |||
The valley is inhabited by two opposing groups, the Obele monks who worship light, and the Ganeve who live hidden in the darkness of the [[Ganeve Den]]. A group of [[Rajamala|Rajamalan]] people have made their home in the Onorel village. | |||
==Flora and Fauna== | |||
In the Ka'ahlen Swamp, colossal water striders and gargantuan ishkynd worms slither and teeter amongst beds of black [[cohosh]], prickly [[ash]], and [[bellwort]]. In a boreal thicket area bordering the swamp to the west and south, the forestal herbs [[ginseng]], wild [[ginger]], [[myrrh]] bushes, [[lobelia]] wildflowers, purple [[echinacea]] coneflowers, and red [[elm]] trees flourish. | |||
On the path to Onorel village, dark green caolan bushes grow along with pink-berried amrunal and red-leafed laumspur plants. Black [[cranes]], white [[coyotes]], star-nosed [[moles]], and cunning [[weasels]] can be found. | |||
[[Valerian]] plants grow higher up on the path leading to the Obele monastery. Majestic, wild caribou and bulky yaks inhabit this area, as well. | |||
Deep in the shadowed caverns of Ganeve Den, [[irid moss]] and [[bloodroot]] grow in abundance while some of the more courageous animals of the valley visit from time to time. | |||
