A valley in the central south of the Southern Reaches, as travellers move deeper into the valley night descends, regardless of time of day. By the time a group reaches the bottom of the valley it is the dead of night. Above, a large blood moon hangs low over the valley, unmoving in the sky. Rather than a rising and setting of the sun, time can only be measured by the progress of the eclipse of the moon. Unsurprisingly, many nocturnal creatures and monsters can be found here in number.
