'''[[Sun Vale]]''' is a large wooded area with alien plants and fauna that have found their way in from the fairy realm. [[Fairies]] are common here, wreaking havoc and causing mischief. The vale is on a mountainous island nestled between [[Council Lands|The Council Lands]] and the elven country of [[Verta]]. Most of the island is rocky and uninhabitable, but a narrow valley is teeming with life for some strange reason.

This explorable area is intended for players '''level 30 and above'''. There are outposts in this forest, but they aren't meant for the likes of you. Without spoiling too much, it’s safe to say that the land is full of dark fairies, bringing unique magics, items, monsters, and techniques into the game ([[Druid]] and [[Hammer]]). Perhaps you can find a way to “make friends” with the locals...

Also mistakenly known as "The Fae Lands"

Sun Vale is the name given to an island chain nestled between The Council Lands and the elven country of Verta. Unusual flora and fauna has found a new home here, migrating from the Fae Realm over hundreds of years. Winter Court Fairies are common here, wreaking havoc and causing mischief as they war with Ranalon and Druids.

“

It's this weird place, only accessible by boat. You're sailing down the coast and it's all rocks and nothingness, right? And then boom! There's this jungle growing out of nothing. Weirdest damned thing. Everybody loves the place. It's warm, and the natives are... look, it's actually a hellish death trap. You don't really want to go to Sun Vale. I was just trying to make some extra Councils, but now I feel bad about it. Happy?

— Boatman

Getting there

Talk to the Jurl the Boatman on the docks in northeast Serbule. The fee is 200 councils.

Points of Interest

Druid Camp and the Great Tree

At the northern end of Sun Vale's largest island, a Druid encampment has been established to watch over the region and hold back the warring Ranalon and invasive Winter Court.

A small band of refugee fairies have made their home on platforms around an unusually giant tree.

A mushroom circle lies between the two.

Agrashab

A large viaduct splits the wild Troll inhabited region of Sun Vale's largest island from the Winter Court controlled south. An avatar of the God of Trolls can be found here.

Winter Court and Winter Nexus

To the south end of the main island, an ancient Fae Realms portal sits in the ground. Through this magical cavern, Winter Court fairies arrive and fight for control of the region. The Thorn of Decay is summoned through interacting with a white crystal found in ruins guarded by many fairies and conscripted trolls.

Animal Town

A group of sentient animals have constructed a makeshift village hidden along the eastern coast of Sun Vale's largest island. Non-Animals beware, deadly Summoned Guardians patrol the borders.

Viedesi's Work Order board

Along the western coast of the large island, Viedesi is waiting for people to pickup and turn in Work Orders. A dock can be found here that allows passage off the island.

Sacrificial Brazier

Towards the western edge of the main island, the remains of a once-great temple of Arisetsu can be explored. At the center of the ruin, guarded by Betra the Cold, an ancient brazier survives.

When the proper items are sacrificed, blessings are bestowed across all in the region.

The southeast island of Sun Vale has become fortified by invading Ranalon, who war with both Druids and Winter Court fairies.

Winter Nexus

The Winter Nexus is an entrance to a plane of existence made entirely of cave-like Nexuses.

This particular Nexus is being used by the Winter Court to search for and capture the Summer Court Fae based in Sun Vale, as well as an entry vector for an invasion. A group of Summer and Spring Court Fae are hiding out in the dungeon.
