Introduction
Sanctuary Vale is a vast highland basin located in central Terasil, spanning approximately 185 miles north to south and 75 miles east to west. Positioned between the circular massif of the Citadel Mountains to the east and the jagged volcanic ridges of the Khargaath Range to the west, the vale is among the most geologically and culturally significant regions in the realm. It serves as the spiritual and ancestral heartland of the Duranthi, containing their largest civic settlements, ritual centers, and archival enclaves.
