Misty Vale

The Misty Vale is a remote mountain valley in Pandaros. Aside from the perpetual fog that encloses it, the valley looks much like any other at first glance. A closer investigation reveals its anomalies: terrain features and structures in the valley that don’t make sense, many of which change from one visit to the next.   Purple Isana within the valley create a perpetual haze, leftover from the beholder Xorannox. Because of the unpredictable nature of this tangle valley, bizarre events surround the Misty Vale as creatures, objects, and entire settlements shift, in whole or in part.

Description

Foggy Border. The edges of the valley are heavily obscured by fog, which thins to lightly obscuring mist in the valley itself.   Grounded Boat. A riverboat rests on a grassy hill, canted to one side. There is no water anywhere near it and no sign of it being dragged.   Misty Canyon. Gravel-choked, fog-shrouded ravines lead to and from the vale. a broken 30 foot bridge of wood and ropes lead up the ravines.   Crumbled Alabastar Tower. The ruins of a finger-shaped tower are splattered on the grounds of the misty vale. Large chunks of purple Isana growing on the ruins. rotted bookshelves, tables, chairs, and other furniture also litter the floor  

Features

Purple Isana. The purple mist covering this vale is due to Purple Isana, creature within the mist may be affected by purple Isana corruption.   Shrouded Presence. Divination spells cast from outside the vale can’t target anything in the valley or reveal information about it. Trying to navigate the dense fog into or out of the valley requires 1 hour of travel and a DC 20 group Wisdom (Survival) check. On a successful check, the group finds its way to or from the valley. On a failed check, the travelers wander the foggy terrain for 1 additional hour before they can repeat the check.
