What the Party Knows
- Once a thriving trade hub. Trade has diminished since Alondriel's erratic reign — the valley has been overrun by bandit kings, orc warlords, and monstrous horrors.
- The Knights of Samular are based in the valley, operating mounted from Feathergale Tower on griffins and birds of prey, fighting the evils that plague the land — including the tyranny of the River Keep.
- Per Teppo's journal (session 015): Goldenfelds poured into the Dessarin Valley — flooding the market with masterwork weapons made of mithril or adamantium.
- Moist's parents are reportedly trapped here (in Alondriel's dungeon — possibly Rivergard Keep per session 035 plot hooks).
