Valiant (Know Direction Network)

Valiant begins in the small city of Altameda. The city is on the edge of the Arcadian frontier and it has the benefit of resting at the crossroads between several major geographical features. Altameda rests on the edge of Lake Tapipallati (the Big Lake to the locals) with the Glass Desert immediately to the west. Altameda is nestled between two sets of the mountains, the Gold Cliff Mountains to the northwest and the larger Mildanesi Mountains to the far east. Finally, a large prairie sits north of the city with the fey-filled Urmavin Oasis (the Small Lake to Altameda locals) located within the prairie. This direct access to several regions makes it easier for Altameda to tap into local resources. In cases where the people of Altameda are not accessing these resources directly, outside businesses still use Altameda as a staging point or as an important checkpoint for travel.
