The highland savanna of Sanctuary Vale supports a distinct ecosystem adapted to its rich soil and exposed stone formations. Native plants such as Vale Grass and Kire Shrubs mark ground stability and are used in traditional Duranthi fieldwork, while sparse tree species like Pyr and Spring Figs are scattered across the land. Local fauna include the heavy-plated Slateback Behemoth and Pierrooks—tall, sharp-voiced birds. | The highland savanna of Sanctuary Vale supports a distinct ecosystem adapted to its rich soil and exposed stone formations.

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 culturally significant regions in the realm. It serves as the spiritual and ancestral heartland of the Duranthi, containing their largest settlements.
