Also known as "The Fae Lands"

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 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.

“

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

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...

Development Status

The area was first introduced with the Sept 20, 2014 game update. It is under heavy development still, so there is no map available yet. To help with navigation, remember the ocean is on the south side of the map, and there is a gigantic tree that can help act as a landmark.^[1]

The Sun Vale update introduced two new skills: Hammer and Druid, as well as a new type of Elite bosses.

Getting there

Talk to the Rakshasa Boatman on the docks northeast of Serbule. The fee is 200 councils. Note that Sun Vale is in preview mode (meaning "not even close to finished, but worth testing"). ^[1]

Points of Interest

Giant Tree

A small band of fairies have taken refuge at the base of the giant tree. Yagreet keeps the watch outside, taking turns with Eleme. Preta, Hiral and Lisi are inside.

Ruins

The Thorn of Decay is found in the ruins south east of the zone. Many scions and trolls spawn in this area.

Agrashab

If you keep going north, you will have to find a way around the chasm. It is possible to cross on the west side (facing north). Keep going past the many trolls.

The Fae Nexus

A large portal can be found to the Fae Nexus in northern Sun Vale. The portal seems to be locked by the Winter Court, but can you find the key?

Dungeons

Fae Nexus

Teleportation Circles

One is on one end of the beach (to your left from landing spot)
From the gigantic tree, with the ocean behind (south), northeast road and then up the dunes north.
Third one is at the north end of the zone near the altar that currently offers the Druid skill.
