Vale Station

A supply depot and relay point on the main road between Drelmere and Bellroot Crossing. Vale Station is utilitarian and unremarkable, but indispensable — every message, shipment, and patrol moving through the Vale passes through its hands. Within the Bellroot Vale, this site sits in the wider network of villages, ruins, and Pattern-touched places that radiate out from Drelmere and Bellroot Crossing. The Vale's relative stability since the Second Shard was recovered from the Bell Tree is felt here, but the Loosening and the Fray still leave their fingerprints — old paths that no longer match the new ones, names half-remembered, the occasional warm wind out of the wrong season.
