In the high mountains of the Sentinel Peaks, lies the small village of Windy Vale that is surrounded by mountains and dense woodlands. The village is surrounded by a natural barrier consisting of mostly mountains and large natural rock formations with the parts not having this natural defense, the settlement has built a stone wall where the open sections are, which protects them from the wolves and ogres in the valley around them.
The settlement has a single entrance that exists between two rockfaces that is watched at all times. During the War of the Lance, Windy Vale was governed by the Seekers, however it is now governed again by an elected mayor, Manus Riker.
Windy Vale has no local militia to speak of, just mostly the more sturdy men that reside here stand to protect it's people. With the natural barriers being as sturdy as they are, Windy Vale has little trouble from the outside world and the foul things that reside within Gateway Pass. The settlement also has a local priest, Brother Temias and offers guidance to the villagers on matters of faith and morality. Although no temple or church exists in the village, Brother Temias mostly roams about the settlement and it's people checking on the ones in need. The mountains, stretch along the pass giving a nice backdrop to the fading sun as it drops behind the distant mountains in the evening times.
Windy Vale sees an abundance of rain and during the winter months sees heavy snowfall. For the most part, the weather is stable and pleasant with a steady breeze that seems to always blow through the pass.
