Grayvale

The Grayvale (also written as Greyvale and Gray Vale) was a valley lying around the Greyflow and Loagrann Rivers and part of the greater Delimbiyr Vale in the Savage Frontier. The lower Delimbiyr Vale was also known locally as the Delimbiyr Crescent and was largely synonymous with the Greyvale.

Geography
While the name "Delimbiyr Vale" was given to all the upper reaches of the River Delimbiyr and of its various tributaries, the Greyvale (and its variations) was specifically the grasslands and valleys drained by two of those tributaries, the Greyflow and Loagrann, a three-branched river that joined the Greyflow. Lying amongst the southern foothills of the rugged Graypeak Mountains, the Grayvale was thus considered to begin at the town of Llorkh and to continue downriver until after the confluence of the Greyflow and Delimbiyr, at the city of Loudwater. The land was bounded south and east of the river by the Greypeak Mountains and in the north by the great High Forest.

Politically, however, the name was often given to lands further afield, and its borders ebbed and flowed with the fortunes of its settlers and prospectors. Circa 1479, the entire valley south of the High Forest as well as the surrounding lands, as far north into the woods as the Star Mounts, as far east as the Graypeak Mountains, as far south to the High Moor, and as far west as one cared to go, could be known as the Gray Vale. However, the influence of the area and usage of the name waned as one moved toward the Sword Coast and into the Western Heartlands.

Description
Despite its name, the Grayvale was a verdant and beautiful valley. Scattered around it were farmsteads and hunting lodges, as well as the ruins of dwarven mines and elven realms.
