The Drowned Vale
This article could contain outdated information that is inaccurate for the current version (1.52) of the game. It was last updated for 1.51.
“ | These boundless wetlands span much of the eastern heart of Caoiva. An unfortunate consequence of the flooding of Deepfleet, this extension of the valley is a muddied mire filled with twisted wooden pathways and murky shallow waters. | „ |

The Drowned Vale is a map located in the center right of the world map, bordering Deadlands, Marban Hollow, Endless Shore, Allod's Bight, Shackled Chasm, and Umbral Wildwood. The map's main features are the large broken dam, swampy terrain covering majority of the region, and the Bulwark. The map is characterized by tons of flood damage, consisting of muddy plains, tons of small creeks and damaged infrastructure scattered throughout the region.
The capital of the region, ironically named The Baths, is one of the areas struck by the flooding. It is located on an island bisected by the Bulwark in the center of the map, and accessible by 4 bridges to the Northeast, Northwest, West, and Southeast.
The map's Town Base that contributes to the World Conquest's "Victory Condition" is The Baths.

Lore
Old Letter

I must have burned my skin to bone about as many times as I’ve broken fingers. These blasted old rifles… maybe it’s time to seek out new materials. New tools. I fear I may not be successful out here in the wetlands. Let me tell you, those dreadful birds never shut up!
If you have any thoughts, please write back in a hurry.
He signs off with only, ‘Your dear friend.’
Dead Bird?

What a morbid display.
Mad Scrawlings

Hah. I figured out what none could. Stupid smugglers. Stupid me, I guess. They found me, and I’m sure you figured out what happened.
There’s another wall, you must know. Nothing less than a tank will crack it, and even then, I’m not sure that would do it. Maybe with enough force.
Enough . . . What is enough?
It’s dark now. Light flickers. Out of matches. Cold. Hungry. The monsters. Did I deserve this?
