Stillvale

Stillvale is a heavily-wooded valley nestled high in the northern Dragon's Back Mountains. It is home to Clan Kint, who rule from their Jarlhold of Kint.

Long ago, this mountain valley was an inland lake, and before that a glacier. That ancient lake burst forth form its containment, however, leaving behind a fertile valley and the Giftwater river. Stillvale is a fertile region, though a short growing season limits overall agricultural produce. Winters in these mountains are harsh with deep freezes chilling even the hardy Nords to the bone. Fortunately, the surrounding mountains shield the valley from the harsh storms that blow in from the east coast of Ardfarjord. It is from these frigid but clam winters that the Valley's name originates.
