Welcome
to Valiance Keep TorvaldsBerg. The Home of "High Jarl" Drake Grey.
Valiance
Keep
is a settlement located at the base of Torvaldsberg mountain , deep in the
northern expanse of Torvaldsland: Rising to over seventeen thousand feet high.
The Keep is situated at the base just west of the stream which gives the land
its ability to sustain minimal life within this rugged terrain. This is a
fishing and trading community and holds true to the northern traditions of
Torvaldsland and the laws that govern the Northern ways of life.
Legend
has it that the great Torvald sleeps within the mountain, waiting to rise until
he is needed once more. This is where the great Ivar Forkbeard and Tarl Cabot
found a central chamber where weapons and armor were found, said to belong to
the great Torvald. One of the weapons found was the War arrow which was used to
rally the men of Torvaldsland and the surrounding areas against the army of
Kurii.
