Description

A frozen valley located in southern Valdeaunia. The sheer cliffs of the valley approach a bottleneck ending with the castle Zvahl. The beastman forces blockaded themselves here at the end of the Great War, after the Allied Forces of Altana switched to the offensive. As the Allied Forces did not get out of this valley easily, due to mass casualties, it made temporary withdrawal unavoidable.
