[center]The Hidden Vale[/center]
The Hidden Vale is the home of the gods of Balance, in the Outer
Planes of the Cosmology of Krynn. The vale was built after the
Dome of Creation and The Abyss, and is located between the
former two realms, and is considered to be a place that is
everywhere and nowhere. The Hidden Vale is surrounded by the
forest of Zhan, which is the heavenly home for all elves who are
deemed worthy of entrance. The realm is also the source of power
for the elemental planes, which comprise the bulk of the Inner
Planes, with natural elements flowing from the wellspring of the
Hidden Vale directly into The Gray.
All the neutral gods have a home within the Hidden Vale, except
for Lunitari, who chose to dwell in The Gray back in the Age of
Dreams, and also Zivilyn and Chislev, who prefer to dwell in the
forest of Zhan, rather than within the Vale. Even though
Lunitari is no longer present in the Vale, the power of her moon
is ultimately sourced from the Hidden Vale. The god Gilean has
always governed and watched over the Hidden Vale. It is near
impossible for a mortal to enter the Hidden Vale, except via the
singular breach point, the Gate of Souls, or the direct
intervention of one of the gods.
Beyond the gods, there are countless creatures that dwell in the
Hidden Vale, including formians, elementals, inevitables,
slaadi, maruts, kolyaruts, and zelekhuts.
