Nolzuran River Valley
Waytravel to the Nolzuran River Valley
T
he waypoint you arrive at stands at the crest of a hill amidst a temperate forest. Through a gap in the trees you can see clearly across a wide valley with the mist covered Nolzuran River carving through the center. Even as you gain you bearings, you notice diminutive spirits of air, crackling with sparks of electricity or puffs of frosted condensation, darting back and forth in the fog. Great mansions and resplendent towers cover both banks of the river, but the homes and other structures are all built in one of four wildly different architectural styles, evocative of the themes of air, earth, fire, and water.
Tier I Waypoint | The Iron Coin will allow anyone through to this waypoint. The monsters present flee instinctively should anyone of 5th level or higher arrive.
