Val de Loire

Shielded from the ire of the volcanic region, Val de Loire provides a small but well-loved respite for the weary traveler. Farmlands and flower fields dot the landscape. Modest hamlets of tidy homes crop up occasionally along the neat earthen roads. Small shrines to various gods are scattered haphazardly amongst the greenery, each lovingly tended. On occasion, a poppy will appear, its seed drifting from southern meadows. In the north one can see the Father’s Throne, but cannot taste the ash in the air.
