Thornwood Vale

Summary

The Thornwood Vale is a forested valley associated with Odine Dunmere’s home and the pestilence she is trying to understand. The corruption there affects flora, fauna, and people, and appears similar to the affliction seen on the corrupted horse before the party reached Everdale. Odine is realizing this means the entity’s curse and malignant magic may be reaching beyond the Vale. Source: 2026.05.05.

Geography

The Vale lies behind the Gleaming Keep and is described as a long, narrow forested canyon with black cliff sides and mountains rising to the east. It was once known as the king’s hunting grounds. Source: 2026.05.05.

Political Importance

Control of the Thornwood Vale is awarded as part of the prestige of winning the King’s Tourney. House Wulfhelm won last year’s tournament and currently holds the title and deed to the Vale. Source: 2026.05.05.

Known Details

  • Minnie’s huckleberry mead is made with huckleberries harvested near the fringes of the Vale.
  • Odine was surprised that people from Everdale risk going close enough to the Vale to harvest there.
  • The pestilence is related to the mist entity’s malignant energy or magic and is the focus of Investigate the Pestilence.
  • The corrupted horse outside the Vale suggests the curse is no longer confined to the Vale itself.
