The Vale

"'Snowmelt keeps me farm watered, springtime sun keeps me back warm, and fresh air keeps me spirits high,' - Tanlan Greybrow"

Overview
The Vale is a sprawling valley whose borders consist of the Silver Tips to north, west, and south, and the Gold Coast to the east. The various sub-regions of the Vale include: the Steppes, Garl's Glade, and the Divide.

Geography
The Vale is a land of fertile soil, rivers, and lakes, protected by the largely impassable Silver Tips. The Vale is slightly isolated from the rest of Alterra. Its harsh winters make travel difficult during winter months. The Vale can be reached by passing through the Divide.
