'''[[Sun Vale]]''' is a large wooded area with alien plants the name given to an island chain nestled between [[Council Lands|The Council Lands]] and the elven country of [[Verta]]. Unusual flora and fauna that have has found their way in a new home here, migrating from the fairy realmFae Realm over hundreds of years. Winter Court [[Fae|Fairies]] are common here, wreaking havoc and causing mischief. The vale is on a mountainous island nestled between as they war with [[Council LandsRanalon Lore|The Council LandsRanalon]] and the elven country of [[VertaDruid]]. Most of the island is rocky and uninhabitable, but a narrow valley is teeming with life for some strange reasons.
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 === Getting there ===Talk to say that the land is full of dark fairies, bringing unique magics, items, monsters, and techniques into the game ([[DruidJurl the Boatman]] and on the docks in northeast [[HammerSerbule]]). Perhaps you can find a way to “make friends” with the locals..The fee is 200 councils.
