Vale of Mynydd

The Vale of Mynydd is a duchy of Lordaaeron and geographical location named after the people who conquered and subjugated it. Located in the western mountains of Tirisfal Glades, it hosts a plethora of native plants, animals, and of course people known as the Mynydd. There are two main entrances into the Vale, the main road leading up to the battlements known as Giat Creigiog and another, lesser known path which is guarded by a series of watch towers.

The Vale has been ruled by the Mynydd under two different lines -- the Gawead, the original chieftains of the Mynydd which subjugated the five tribes and established much of the culture that is found within the Vale, and the House of Dyfed, who overthrew the Gawead and took on the title of Arglwydd. However, since the Fall of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, the Vale has been occupied by the Forsaken.

Geography
The Vale of Mynydd is a valley, protected on three sides by mountains and the fourth protected by the sea. As the farthest-west geographical body and political region of Lordaeron, the Vale was important buffer zone between western-invading enemies and Lordaeron proper.

Three major rivers run through the Vale -- one dividing the Vale in half known as the Severn and the other dividing Brycheiniog off from the rest of the Vale, known as the Gwaun, both of which flow into the mountains. The last river is known as the Elwy and flows into Lake Irfon.

The Vale has mild summers and cold winters; Spring is the rainiest season, experiencing heavy rainfall several days out of the week as most precipitation is trapped by the mountains. However, Summer and the planting season are typically somewhat dry and compares to that of the rest of Lordaeron. Winters are cold and snowfall is heavy, causing the passes to fill up with snow and ice.

Economy
For most of the Vale's history, its people have been isolationist and have sustained itself upon its own local economy. However, with the rise of the House of Dyfed came an increase of trade with many of the kingdoms of the north. As the Vale is mountainous, major exports include:


 * Precious and industrial metals (gold, silver, copper, tin, iron, lead, duranau, some mithril and truesilver)
 * Stone
 * Salt
 * Coal

The Vale also hosts plant life, including:
 * Timber (Oak, pine, yew, elm, birch, poplar, willows, etc.)
 * Herbs (Peacebloom, Silverleaf, Blodyntan, Dailmarwolaeth, among others)

Others:
 * Mynydd Whiskey

These exports have boomed the Vale's economy, making its inhabitants have a high standard of living as most of the profits gained are invested back into the various communities.

Natural Resources
The Vale has many standard metals of the north; this includes:


 * Gold
 * Silver
 * Tin
 * Copper
 * Iron
 * Lead
 * Coal
 * Truesteel
 * Mithril

It also has a very rare metal that, thus far, has only been found in the deep within the mountains of the Vale known as daranau. Daranau is much harder than many of the other steels of Azeroth, but due to its rarity it needs to become an alloy, typically forged with other rare metals.

The Vale also has wide woodlands containing:


 * Oak
 * Pine
 * Yew
 * Elm
 * Birch
 * Poplar
 * Willow
 * among others

And many different herbs and plantlife:


 * Peacebloom
 * Silverleaf
 * Earthroot
 * Blodyntan - A type of firebloom; used in Mynydd whiskey to make it have a stronger alcoholic value
 * Dailmarwolaeth - Sleepleaf; can be combined with princefoil in order to create a sleep potion or can be combined with mageroyal/silverleaf in order to create a potion that will keep the drinker awake for most than twenty four hours.
 * Mageroyal
 * ffwyltywysog - Princefoil
 * candduwies - blue/white lily that grows on the tallest plateau of the Vale, representing the Goddess Sirona
 * among others
