The town has been since it was founded, and still is a gathering place for many adventurers that set out from there on many voyages across the Lands. Newcomers to the continent of Angalon may read about some of the mysteries of this great realm, in the Beginner Book, just south of the town square. The Emerald Village is usually the first location visitors will come to upon entering Emberland. Here stands the Emerald Castle, where the Owlkin King of Emberland lives. Several shops are also located here, as well as information concerning possible quests throughout Emberland.
Some farmland lies near to the village, as well as forested and mountainous terrain.
Deep Vale Deep Vale is the true haven of the Shifterkin. Within Deep Vale are three villages, a pub, the High Temple of Zewwi, a lake, and a vast cave system. The caves were dug by order of the King, and carried out by the Arch Duke of Deep Vale many generations ago to be used as storage areas. The creatures do not leave the caves, and the Shifterkin do not enter them. The Riftlands region is a wasteland created by the turmoil and destruction of The Axing.
