The Sequestered Vale is a small valley, surrounded nearly on every side by tall, jagged cliffs.

Features of the Vale

  • Sunrise Falls: Super-cold waterfall that the rising sun breaks through at early mornings. A favored place for Selbrinnin and Templetonan adherents of the Cult to meet for morning prayer.
  • The Watch: A tall pillar of rock on which the Valesmen have set up a watch station, armed with ground-glass seeing scopes and loud bells in case of attack.
  • The Sequestered Tabernacle: A Solar-aspected Manse that acts as the training monastery for the Cult of the Illuminated.

Settlements

  • Templeton: Small village at the base of the Sequestered Tabernacle. Focuses primarily on growing crops.
  • Selbrin: Hamlet made up of primarily herders and farmers.
  • Silvercliffs: Hamlet of herders and weavers.
  • Oreton: Small mining hamlet, with a mine dug into the cliff-face, smelters and a single communal forge.
  • Hornvale: Small mercantile village, including a couple of merchants with hefty carts and mountain ponies for traveling and trade. Also, a number of workers at a local small-scale quarry, and masons skilled in using that stone.
