Brokenstone Vale

Brokenstone Vale is an isolated valley in the Feywild.

Geography

This valley is a maze of heavily forested ravines and steep hills, with a variety of old castle and tower ruins. A rushing river winds across the valley's mark and had stone posts on the far side of it that marks Brokenstone's boundary. Underneath the valley is an entrance to the fomorian kingdom of Harrowhame.

Notable Locations

• Along the river boundaries of this valley are tiny hamlets, clusters of ragged huts, where civilized lycanthropes live and trade with outside merchants. Bringing supplies and trading with them rare woods. These hamlets are overseen by a werewolf lord, who maintains the brutal peace necessary for them to exist. He does not allow travelers to remain long and tried to send them off as quickly as possible.
• The mountainsides of this valley are riddled with decrepit mines that wererats laired in.

Inhabitants

This valley is primarily inhabited by lycanthropes. Some gather within clans or tribes, but most live solitary lives and keep to themselves. Many barbarian berserkers can be found among these tribes. Most of the lycanthropes in this valley rarely bother to disguise their true nature. Some live within the ruined structures built for werebeast lords of yore. Some lycanthropes are druids that gather high in the mountains near fey crossroads, believing that the key to controlling their urges lied with primal spirits.
Occasionally outsiders come to the valley to live as hermits. Non-lycanthropes live high in its mountain, hunting in the woods by day and farming the lower mountain slopes. They paint a silver stripe across their home to signal that they have silver and the protection of the Maiden of the Moon. Some also display wolfsbane around their home as a deterrent.
Some lycanthropes within the valley act as assassins or spies.

Localized Phenomena

Within this valley Luna appears to be much brighter than in other parts of the Feywild.

History

Centuries prior to the The Gods War a werewolf lord forged a kingdom of lycanthropes in this valley and waged a fierce, brutal war with the neighboring Fey Eladrin realms, this area of the Feywild is conceded to lycanthropes and shapechangers in an ancient pact with a parliament of archfey known as the Court of Stellars. Their pact ensured that no creature could set foot in this valley without the permission of the resident lycanthropes and entering without made their life forfeit.
As the centuries passed many werebeast rulers would raise keeps or halls within castles or towers, which would go on to become ruins that littered the valley.
