Temple Valley is a lush beautiful valley located by a small mountain range.
It is actually located in a small valley created by the mountains. It gets it’s
name because the valley is home to temples to numerous gods as well as a temple
dedicated to no certain god but that can be used for worship of any god.
The valley was found and settle many years ago by a powerful witch named
Laven. She had worshiped the goddess Hecate and decided to build a temple for
her. A very beautiful temple was build and was used for several years with
little or no problems to note.
About 15 years ago the powers that be in Waterdeep, or any large town,
decided that the clash from follows of various gods were starting to destroy to
much property and decide something needed to be done. They approach the being
known as the Wanderer and ask he to try and work something out with Laven so
that other temples could be built in the valley. The Wanderer was known to have
several dealing with her and they felt that he would succeed.
A bargain was reach and the building began. Roads were created linking the
valley with Waterdeep and the other major roads near the valley. Anyone stepping
on the roads to the valley finds that they have walked to the valley in less
than an hour.
There are a few rules setup to protect the valley.

smaller

use of powerful magics are allowed, though healing magics are allowed.

company of Kzin guards, provided by the Wanderer, who enforce all rules
