The Stoneheart Valley
The central valley that runs below the Stoneheart Mountains is considered the domain of Bard’s Gate, with major settlements at Fairhill and Crimmor owing the city state their allegiance. The Tradeway is well maintained and patrolled within the Stoneheart Valley, and a cavalry patrol out of Waymarch are a commonplace sight, as the realm of Reme and Bard's Gate retain close relations. 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.
Therugged hill country that comprises the valley rises out of the northern part of the Stoneheart Forest. The valley is well watered because of the many streams of the Stoneheart mountains and the wind streams from the ocean currents. 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.
