Central Plains

The Central Plains

The Central Plains is one of the two surface-level paths out of Valmorgen, with the other being Treldan Wood. The Central Plains contain notable locations such as the Graveyard which in turn contains the Catacombs and Buried Cathedral. Through the Central Plains, players may pass onto the Sovereign Road to reach Mayhew.

In order to access the Central Plains, the player must first obtain the requisite map. The map is given freely after completing The Trial of Venn's Spire. Alternatively, if the hero left Valmorgen through the sewers, the map can be purchased for 600 gold at the Mayhew Map Maker.
