Valorim

 

To the north, you see an enormous mountain range, the largest in the Empire, which separates Valorim from the rest of the world. Due north, you can see a huge pass, and can just make out the fort blocking it.
You reach the very southwest corner of the continent of Valorim, and have a perfect view of the ocean, stretching out far, far beyond view to the south and west. You walk out onto the sand, and feel the salt spray dotting your face.
— Wandering Valorim (Exile III: Ruined World)

 

THE LANDS OF THE EMPIRE
The Empire, blessed power over us all, controls the four known continents. Aizo, the oldest, is the birthplace of the Empire, although the ruling seat is now on the continent of Pralgad.
Vantanas is the smallest continent, but in many ways the richest, with its hot climate, fascinating fauna, and rich stores of gold and diamonds. And finally, there is the recently settled Valorim, which has a wild (though controlled) spirit.

The Early History of Valorim
by Zagnut
When the Empire turned its mighty eye to the continent of Valorim, it was settled only by fierce, mindless Nephilim and similar monsters. The tale of the Empire's taming of this savage continent is a long and exciting one!
The first settlement in Valorim was Blackcrag Fortress, a mighty fortress at the north end. The early building of this fort, which provided a safe place for settlers and a supply depot, was the key to the destruction of the Nephilim tribes.
From this stronghold, settlers were able to establish the Keep of Tinraya, the largest and mightiest city in Valorim. The Keep's mighty walls and limited access makes it, quite possibly, the Empire city safest from attack.
From the Keep, lightning raids by Empire Dervishes were able to devastate the mighty Ratbane clan of Nephilim. This cleared the way to the founding of Gale and Lorelei.
The tale of the taming of the southern half of the continent will follow in Volume 2, coming soon.
