Cradle Valley
To those who live there, the Cradle Valley is regarded as being a safe haven on the otherwise wild continent of Tasawa.
Geography
The Cradle Valley is gently-sloping and covers a wide expanse of land. It's just big enough that, when standing at the top of one of the hills on one edge of the valley, a person can see the other edge on a clear day. Small rivers crisscross the valley floor. Ponds, both man-made and natural, are a common sight. The area is excellent for farming.
Fauna & Flora
Most of the year-round residents are Southeastern Suktu farmers who seek shelter here from the dangerous climates found elsewhere on Tasawa. A smaller percentage are Southwestern Suktu, mixed Suktu, or Rural Kalzua. They keep a variety of domesticated animals there as food and labor sources, including horses, donkeys, cows, and chickens.
Prime crops grown in the Valley are potatoes, beets, corn, and peas. A variety of grasses, trees, and wildflowers can be found in the uncultivated areas of the Valley.
Each winter, many of the Twolligs from the surrounding mountains will make the journey down into the Cradle Valley to avoid the harshest periods of cold and trade with the Suktu.
Natural Resources
The area is excellent for farming due to its rich soil and sheltered climate.
Tourism
Several groups of Southern Tsaamit are known to wander the circumference of the Valley.
