Outside of Olfden, life in and around Darkmoon Vale is difficult, dirty, and often violently cut short. Only the law of the wild holds sway in most areas of the region. The weak scarcely have a chance here. To live in such a rough and tumble place, the people themselves must remain strong.
If not for the lucrative logging of darkwood, no one would bother living in such a wild and dangerous place. With each passing generation, though, the calming influence of civilization grows in Darkmoon Vale.
