Introduction
Baviare Vale is a vast highland basin located in central Khamria. Positioned between the circular wall of the Așdilu Mountains to the east and the jagged volcanic ridges of the Ilergierze Mountains to the west, the vale is among the most culturally significant regions in Khamria. It serves as the spiritual and ancestral heartland of the Arânzeni, containing their largest settlements.
History
During the Great Erosion, Baviare Vale became a refuge for retreating populations of Namuril.
Upon arrival of the ascendant spirits to Dalel, the Spirit Yala, the spirit of memory and history, and Kúsi, the spirit of mountains and stone, first rooted their domain in the Ilergierze Mountains near modern Yacinsa.
Baviare Vale played a defining role in the development of Arânzeni culture. According to preserved records, the first permanent settlements arose here during the early days of The Great Migration, shielded by the surrounding mountains. The vale’s defensibility enabled the Arânzeni to thrive.
