Gazetteer of the Shenbyrg Vale: Walstock
The main setting for my first novel, Night Skies Over Valhallow, and to a lesser extent my second novel, Quiet Upon Shenbyrg's Dawning, Walstock is herein detailed for both fans of the book and roleplaying gamers alike.
Walstock
The seat of power for the Count of Shenbyrg, Walstock is a place of great intrigue. Bordered by bucolic Calvary to the west, fascistic Mauriatown to the north, the majestic Shenbyrg river to the east. and the magocracy of Caelum Mount to the south, it has been the focal point for many adventuring parties and strange occurrences for decades. It has recently fallen under the control of various Cults (see below), which allowed for a full invasion of Helltowne.
