'''[[Sun Vale]]''' is a large wooded area with alien plants and fauna that have found their way in from the fairy realm. [[Fae|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 exploreable 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
