VALLEY OF BONES

     During the Dark Wars between the Dyllarian Drae and the Dyllarian Dwarves a battle known as the Battle of Bones occurred.  By the end of the fighting the combatants were standing on the scattered bones of their fallen comrades.  Named for this incident the Valley of Bones is the foulest place in all of Dyllaria.  Undead of unimaginable quantities roam the valley and spread northward to Galavast and beyond.  Ancient tombs and crypts also litter the hillsides here.  Of living creatures, only the Giant Armadillo is known to thrive amidst the undead in this frighteningly vile place.   The north end of this valley opens onto the southwestern Battle Plains, while the southern end is a tangled mix of forest and swamp.  The Shadowgate River nearly splits the valley in half as it travels southward toward the swamplands.
