Ailell, the Valley of Torment is a location in the north of the Leicester Alliance, near the border with the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus.
Profile[]
Ailell, the Valley of Torment is so named due to its intense environment. Streams of lava flow and pool throughout the valley, roasting it with extreme heat, and flames can suddenly burst from the ground. Although most people try to avoid Ailell, monks once used it as an ascetic training ground. According to legend, Ailell is a manifestation of the rage of the Goddess, who passed judgment on humanity's corruption and burned the previously forested area with a pillar of light from the heavens.
