Valley of the Titans

Article written by Uziel


Directly southwest of the city of Blöten is a wide and lush valley known as the Valley of the Titans. The majority of the valley is covered with a lush and beautiful forest, and a central path leads from the outside world, through the forest and towards the open vale in the western section. At the far western section lies a great citadel and several structures.

The forest surrounding the valley is filled with owlbears, degenerate ogres who failed the titan experiments and also ogre skeleton patrols. The forest appears to be rich and lush, filled with pine trees, chirping birds and is something of an idyllic paradise that seems oddly out of place in the ogre kingdom of Blöde. The trail through the forested section of the valley heads westward and ends in an open plain.

The trail through the Valley of the Titans that ends in the western plain first leaves travellers before the menagerie. The menagerie is a series of cages, which houses wild animals and strange creatures that are used in the experimental process of creating ogre titans. Directly behind the menagerie is a great citadel in which the titan creation process takes place. The citadel is an eighty-foot tall tower, comprised of white stonewalls and fronted by two massive forty foot tall golden doors. The exterior of the citadel is dotted with large alcoves, in which stand twenty-foot tall bluestone statues of ogre titans in full battle gear. Two large doors of bronze, which stands at twenty feet tall, guard the rear entrance to the tower.

Behind the citadel itself more large cages are set aside. Unlike the smaller cages of the menagerie however, these large cages are used to hold creatures such as tylors, wyverns and small dragons. A work building stands off to the side of the citadel and houses the equipment used in maintaining the pristine conditions of the western plain. Lastly, at the westernmost point of the Valley of the Titans stands the Hall of Skeletons. This is a narrow stone building and is where the ogre skeletons of the valley are kept when not patrolling the valley.
