Kalterntal

A Valley of Isolation and Resilience

The people of Kalterntal have lived in the valley for centuries, nestled away in a remote corner northwest of Earlsdale. The only settlement in the valley is Turn, a small village near the base of the towering Hochwart mountain. The village comprises simple wooden buildings with steeply pitched roofs, painted in shades of grey to blend with their rugged surroundings. The villagers, hardy and resilient, keep to themselves and rarely interact with the few outsiders who venture through.

Life in Kalterntal is far from easy. Savage beasts roam the lands, making survival a constant challenge for anyone daring to venture beyond the village walls. The brave souls of Turn are well-prepared, armed with swords, spears, and bows crafted by expert smiths. Seasoned hunters use traps or chase down game on horseback to supplement their food stores.

Despite the breathtaking beauty of the surrounding peaks, long shadows cast over the valley serve as a reminder of the lurking dangers. The people of Kalterntal live simple, determined lives, ever vigilant against the perils of their harsh yet stunning homeland.
