Valley of Defilement

Lore

The Valley of Defilement is a wretched home for the abused, neglected, and even criminal citizens of Boletaria. A dumping ground for the Kingdom’s unholy and unwanted, the Valley became notorious as a place where it was said one could leave an unwanted child to rot in the festering swamps, formed after the first calamity caused by the Old One. Festering in the refuse of the wealthy and thriving lands around it, the Valley is a plague ridden swamp of despair and futility for the people living there. Hearing of the Valley’s dreadful circumstance, the Sixth Saint Astraea took it upon herself and, along with her companion, Garl Vinland, traveled there in hopes of freeing the depraved souls consumed by the fog.

The mindless drones that now remain in the Valley will violently attack any who threaten them in hopes of claiming souls to offer up to the great Maiden who showed them compassion. In the deepest pits of the Valley are born two vile demons out of the putrilage and plague that lingers in the deadly bog. It is said that Astraea pledged herself to the will of a Demon’s Soul to help ease the pain of the suffering, rather than to accept the aid of a cruel God who would allow such a place to exist.
