Stargazer Valley

Just past the Midnight Veil lies a remote valley nestled in the clouds called Stargazer Valley. To reach the valley, one must travel for weeks on end through harsh mountain gaps and distant forests, until one reaches Skyseeker Pass, the only entrance to the valley. From here the path slopes steeply upward, giving this section of forest its name: The Steepwoods. A single winding path cuts through the Steepwoods, Rudyard’s Stair, named for the adventurer who first walked it.
At the centre of the valley lies the Celestial Steppe, a massive sprawl of grassland. To its east is the Ancestral Plateau, a rocky highland where natural hotsprings and geysers are common. To the north of the Steppe lies the Cloudmeadows, where the clouds themselves nestle into the valley, floating islands looming in the fog. And beyond the Cloudmeadows, lies mystery. The tundra on the northern side of the valley is fraught with frozen danger, and not many who make the journey return.
In the ancient past, Stargazer Valley was wild and uninhabited. In more recent history, two different factions, split from the first settlers of the valley, have found lives for themselves in the valley. The people of Storm's Reach chose to stay stationary at the western boundary of the Celestial Steppe. The nomadic people of Chuluun chose to wander the Steppe instead, moving the village to new areas each season.
Storm's Reach also plays host to a guild of its own. Started by an ambitious chef, the Culinary Guild of Storm's Reach seeks out new ingredients and techniques to enhance their cooking and reach new culinary heights.
