Heirs to the Valley
The King is dead! Last night the bells of Kingstown tolled as Janus I passed away in his sleep, leaving behind the small Kingdom of the Valley without a leader. The King was childless and did not wish to name a successor, so in the wake of his sudden death the people are in shock and fear. Will someone claim the throne? Who will lead the country into the future?
The Valley is well-defended against outsiders. The sturdy Fort Southwark defends the western approach through Southwark Pass, which splits the northern Arden Mountains and the southern Vestil Mountains. From these two ranges flow the mighty Arda and Vesta rivers, twin sisters which meet at Kingstown and give our valley its lush and fertile soil. They continue on into the southeast, flowing into the sea at the Port of Vestin. To the Northeast, Fort Eagle guards the plains of Aberfy, where the horses and cattle of the kingdom graze. We may be a small nation, but we are rich, with the northern mines at Tolton providing us with gems while in the south Everdale enjoys both hardwood forests and ample veins of copper and iron. Finally, the people of the northwestern Fulton are skilled river-pilots and fishers, riding their barges down the Arda.
In short, we are self-sufficient, but in desperate need for leadership. Without a guiding hand, the Valley may fall, either to outsiders or internal troubles. Nobody knows what the future holds in store...
