The Valley of Stars
“The darkness has weight. The light moves in shapes not meant for mortal eyes.”
The Valley of Stars is a place where the world drops away, a valley so deep and vast that no light from above ever reaches its floor. The only illumination comes from the creatures that dwell in its depths, bioluminescent and strange, casting ghostly lights in the eternal dark.
To look down into the valley is to feel like you are standing at the edge of the sky, staring into a reflection of the night, but twisted, wrong, infinite in ways the mind cannot process. Those who descend must navigate by the shifting constellations of the living things below, lest they fall into the depths where no one has ever returned from.
- Dangers: The Echoing Hunger, a thing that lives in the deepest parts of the valley, swallowing light, sound, and memory.
- Rewards: Secrets lost to time, buried in the dark where even the Gentry do not reach.
- Paths: The deeper you go, the more you forget the sky, the harder it is to remember if you were ever meant to leave.
