Gilded Vale attended by honey realmlings.

Overview

Gilded Vale (Enchiridian, Furytongue: Aruthamazun \ɔːruːˈðɒmɒzuːn\, meaning vast empty sweetness), also known as The Stranger, gets its name from its realm form of an immense, sprawling canyon of honeyed rivers.

Lore about the Gilded Vale is rare and incomplete. It comes primarily from the dragons and immortals who have had interactions with the titan.

History

Gilded Vale was a titan in the Lost Age who was subsequently imprisoned by the Founders, like all titans, in the Foundation War during the First Age. It has remained imprisoned ever since.

Description

Gilded Vale's realm form is full of duality, mesmerizing and treacherous. The Golden Halls make up most of the canyon walls, shimmering with amber plates and veins of golden honey dripping into the valley and pooling into crevices. The Amber Masks make up many crags and subterranean caves of the canyon. These masks vary in expression, size, and detail. Worm Tunnels are a complex network of tunnels created by massive wormlike creatures. Massive shell chambers are where they nest. Their prey hang from honeyed cocoons in honeyed grottoes.

Gilded Vale's avatar is a massive worm-like mollusk. It's shell is made of metal masks, and it reveals human-like faces, though never the same face twice. It's body leaves a trail of amber honey.

Personality

Gilded Vale's personality is seductive calculation, creating opportunities and advantages that are too tempting for its opponents to deny, or too powerful to be resisted.
