GANDIEL VALLEY

     Nestled in the Wincrag Mountains, this wide, low valley is home to a race of Emurian Cyclopes known as Gandielians.  This group, from which the valley takes its name, is renowned for their crystal smithing and sap production.  The valley itself stretches west to east from the Horned Basin to the confluence of the Khala and Gandiel Rivers where it touches upon the edge of the Forest of Myst.  The valley is mostly open, although large groves of trees have been planted here for use in the production of both sap and syrup, which are of quite exceptional quality.
