Hidden Vale



The Hidden Vale is located northeast of Novia, the first continent released in New Britannia. The Hidden Vale is the island we started on during the Release 1, Release 2, and Release 3 Pre-Alpha testing.

It stands apart from the rest of Novia. Many people have migrated to the Vale to escape the Oracle’s dominion. The affirmation chambers, which are common in Brittany, are largely absent here, save a ruined one. Although the people of the Vale proudly believe themselves to be free of the Oracle's influence, the truth of their claims cannot be known.

Recently, trade the mainland has stopped, although the reason is unknown. The town of Kingsport has fallen upon hard times. The lack of trade has emptied its coffers, crime has increased, and some of its citizens have left for safer towns.

Owl's Head is the major community of the Vale now. It has no titular ruler, although the captain of the local guard, Lord Delbart Enmar would be the person most turn to in times of crisis.

Outside of the towns and cities, wolves prowl the farmlands. To the south, the walking dead have arisen from a hidden fortress. Even a dragon has been seen in the hills.
