Jade Valley Barony
The Jade Valley is a breathtaking and important region nestled within the towering peaks of the Eren Mountains. Known for its lush, forested expanses filled in it's vast valleyways and profound cultural heritage, it serves as the political and cultural heart of the kingdom of Drekaya, housing its majestic capital, Drekaya City. The valley is a tapestry of history, magic, and the enduring influence of the dragonkin, the proud race integral to the entire Earth Region's identity.
The cities and towns within the Jade Valley are ancient, their foundations steeped in the rich traditions of the dragonkin, a proud and resilient people who have lived in harmony with the valley for centuries. Their influence is evident in the architecture, which incorporates sweeping curves, scaled motifs, and vibrant carvings that resemble dragon scales and wings. Drekaya City's position as the capital makes it a center of governance, trade, and innovation, drawing merchants, scholars, and adventurers from across the kingdom and beyond.
The Jade Valley is a deep, forested basin enclosed by rugged mountains that seem to touch the heavens. Its floor is blanketed with dense woods interspersed with sparkling rivers, serene lakes, and open meadows. The valley takes its name from the jade-green hue of its forests, a result of the lush vegetation and the sunlight filtering through the mist that often lingers in the air. The valley’s mountainous borders are jagged and imposing, providing natural fortification and isolating the region from the outside world. Narrow passes and winding trails are the only ways into this sanctuary, making it a hidden gem of the kingdom. Waterfalls cascade from the cliffs, feeding the rivers that meander through the valley, creating a harmonious soundscape of rushing water and birdsong.
Beyond its cultural and historical significance, the Jade Valley is a vital center of governance and commerce for the kingdom of Drekaya. Its strategic location and natural resources make it indispensable, while its cultural heritage and striking beauty draw scholars, traders, and adventurers from across Eren.
