Locations & Demographics
The valley has a number of towns and smaller settlements with a population of about 5000 residents spread around the valley. A large concentration of the population live in the towns of Whiteton and Dormil.

The valley is home to the ancient and abandon dwarven city of Irondeep that was abandoned in the year 750 C.E by the dwarfs during the Race Wars of the late 7th and 8th centuries.

The valley was also home to the now destroyed town of Ravendale. The large town was destroyed some time before the start of the Ravendale Campaign when a great fog covered the valley. This fog led to horrible demons destroying the town and killing most everyone that lived there.

The Black Bog, Somber Wood, and the Brinklebrine Forest can all be found within the valley as well as countless rivers and Lake Raven.

The valley has a diverse range of races and religions living in the valley with the majority being humans.

History
The history of the valley stretches far back to the days of the Dreth Empire during the 1st century B.C.E when the Dreth Empire sent a large amount of dwarfs to live in the valley. The dwarfs would found the city of Irondeep sometime around the year 65 B.C.E. The dwarfs would live a relatively quite life until the start of the Race Wars in the 6th century C.E where they where driven from there home by the humans. Many died and where displaced and the conflict led the the massive ancient city of Irondeep to be abandon until the year 1288 C.E when the Demon lord Aavak would take over Irondeep and turned it into his own personal floating palace.
