Valin Enclave
Territory
"The Valin Enclave is tucked into a temperate valley by the name of Valin, with a nearly impassable mountain range, save for the path leading through to Norda.
The valley is primarily made up of temperate forest, though denser and colder taiga forest can be found in the northernmost area. Chilly rivers formed mostly by snowmelt from the encompassing frozen mountains trickle into Mirlod Lake at the center of the valley.
While the Enclave enjoyed free range of the entire valley at its height, its power has long since faded, and it no longer controls such vast amounts of territory. Now, it only controls a small area in the Wenen Woodland, found in the western part of Valin."

Norda: Though valley cats are familiar with the name, and the more extreme wintry condition of the province, most have never actually travelled there. They greatly prefer their warmer climate.
Keius: A well-known, but entirely unexplored ruin. The valley cats believe it to be an old abandoned upwalker structure, as its more advanced than any cat could create.
Nohst Forest: The northernmost forest in the valley, that extends from the passageway to Valin's twin rivers.
Fryllr River: One of two twin rivers, Fryllr trailing down from the western Nozamsen mountains.
Keius River: The other part of the twin rivers, Keius River being named after the upwalker ruins close to its bank. This river winds down from the eastern Nozamsen mountains.
Mirlod Lake: Valin's only lake and main source of water for all creatures inhabiting the land. Formed by the snowmelt rivers Fryllr and Keius.
Wenen Woodland: A temperate woodland stretching from the eastern Nozamsen mountains to the Pasi Clearing, on the southern side of the rivers. The largest region of wooded area in the valley.
Pasi Clearing: A great meadow seperating the two main woodland areas in the valley.
Soaes Woodland: A temperate woodland stretching from the Nozamsen mountains to the Sianmoea mountains.
