Caer Valance is situated between dense forests and sprawling farmland. The walled city is considered an ideal place to live — safe and with easy access to trade goods. The forest provides steady lumber, resulting in many wooden structures, and the greatest human carpenters are said to come from Caer Valance. The forest is dangerous, however. Foresters do not enter alone, but in guarded teams. Local forest rangers constantly deal with monsters that emerge from the trees.
Ruler
Countess Maera Bristal is an insightful leader and an advocate for rotational farming and druidic conservation methods. She is known for her rivalry with pirate factions and commands a regional fleet of swift-response coastal rangers. She is a force of balance between need and greed, though some whisper she is too loyal to the forest and places too many restrictions on the harvesting of old wood deeper within.
