Stoneheart Mountains

The central valley that runs between the Stoneheart Mountains to the north and the Mons Terminus range to the south is considered the demesne of Bard’s Gate with major settlements at Fairhill, Crimmor, and Byrn that look to the city for protection and trade. The Tradeway is well maintained and patrolled within the Stoneheart Valley, and a cavalry patrol out of Waymarch or sheriffs out of the city are a commonplace sight. In addition, Bard’s Gate maintains a series of waystations where travelers can rest and recover for a night or two before continuing on with the rigors of their journey.
The valley is primarily rugged hill country with the central southern portion playing host to the northern reaches of the Stoneheart Forest. Despite being somewhat arid in climate due to the proximity of the eastern reaches of Waymarch, the valley is nonetheless well watered because of the many streams of the Stonehearts. To the south of the Tradeway, the Graywash River is fed by countless tributaries tumbling off of the northern slopes of Mons Terminus.
The western end of the valley is marked by the city of Fareme, which is considered the border between the territory of Bard’s Gate and the Duchy of Waymarch, and by the Stoneheart River to the east, though the eastern portion of the valley is traditionally referred to as the Lyre Valley instead.
