Raven's Vale

Raven's Vale is a village in the Tame Realms, several miles from L'Imperium's Northern border. It was originally inhabited solely by the Caelan, who dwelt in an isolated society in buildings atop the mountain, only venturing out to hunt and gather resources.

The warrior-peasants of clans such as the Raptor Clan were ruled over by a strict priesthood, the Airyas, who dwelt on the peaks of the mountain itself.

The Upheavel
Caine Soulborne and his travelling band established their camp too close to the Caelan, and Erin, Jupiter, Devan and Layl were taken captive. Skie and Caine captured Laylanna, who reluctantly led them up the mountain.

After a tense negotiation, the Airyas agreed to allow the trespassers to leave, on account that Caine and his band wished to battle a wyvern that had been harassing the Caelan and challenging their Iceclad warriors for years.

Laylanna was sentenced to heavy punishment by the Airyas, which included many lashes from the whip. Caine and Skie stealthily knocked an Airya and a guard unconscious and rescued her. She went on to discover that the Raptor Clan possessed royal blood. When Caine and company had left, she led a coup that threw the Airyas down from their seats of power before establishing herself as queen.

The Aftermath
Laylanna removed the isolationist beliefs of the Caelan to the point that Raven's Vale permitted the establishment of a human-dwarven village at the base of the mountain, and the dwarves constructed an elevator that led to Raven's Vale so that they could visit.

Caine and his company returned after over three weeks' absence, explaining that they were travelling to Skie Soulborne's home village in order to destroy the portal that was sending Void out to attack it in droves. Laylanna could not afford to send warriors, as the Airya had cursed and desecrated the temple.

Malichi Soulborne, Sienna Veridianno, Callie, Devan, and others entered, battling a Deep One and several fishy cultists, with Devan losing his life. When the temple was cleared out and only an altar remained -cursed to the touch, might I add-, Laylanna led forty warriors to battle the Void alongside them. Of these forty, the Iceclad Hraimsir was included.
