Metamor Valley

Features of the Metamor Valley

The keep is located in a pass between two impassable mountain ranges. At its widest the valley is about ten miles across. At it's narrowest its less than a one mile wide. The valley is almost completely filled with Metamor City by this point in time.

Metamor River

This narrow and swift moving body of water starts at the lake and flows south out of the valley and into the Sea of Stars. It is strengthened by numerous small streams (too small to show on the map) and one tributary (that is on the map). The river itself is small and fast moving and is not really navigable. But in the spring with the river full of the spring melt it is fairly navigable by barges and other shallow draft vessels as far north as what used to be Loriod’s castle.

History

The Metamor Pass is the only land passage between the Giantdowns to the North and the rest of the continent. Countless times in the past hordes of Lutins and other creatures have tried to sweep south into the warm and heavily populated southern lands. For centuries Metamor Keep and its inhabitants staved off those attacks. This has hardened the Keepers and colored the landscape itself.

Over time, as the population of the Keep grew and technology advanced, Metamor Keep grew into a City, and the Heart of an Empire.
