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 Sunrise Mill is located here as well as a number of stakes & flags marking where the Illuminated Starfish plans to construct his home and workshop.
- 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 Watch now has a lift with enchanted ropes & pulleys that repair themselves.
- The Sequestered Tabernacle: A Solar-aspected Manse that acts as the training monastery for the Cult of the Illuminated.
- Sunrise Mill: A large mill located at Sunrise Falls that was constructed by the Illuminated and enchanted so that the spokes repair themselves and the mill stone can transform into various shapes in order to mill a variety of different things.
- Misty Aqueducts: (Currently Under Construction) A complex aqueduct system that provides water to the entire vale. The aqueducts are enchanted so that the water flowing through them never freezes over, which also results in a constant rising mist from the water.
Settlements
- Templeton: Small village at the base of the Sequestered Tabernacle. Focuses primarily on growing crops. The Illuminated Starfish has a small household & workshop here.
- 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, a lift servicing the mines with enchanted ropes & pulleys that repair themselves, 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.
