“Vines, ferns, flowers, and grasses grew together in a wall of underbrush. Trees stretched above them, and these weren't the durable stumpweights of his homeland. These were gnarled, tall, and twisted, with branches that wound together. They were overgrown with draping moss and vines, lifespren bobbing about them in plentitude. ”
—Dalinar Kholin observing the Valley[1]
El Valle, en Roshar, es el lugar donde vive la Vigilante Nocturna.
Alrededores
El Valle está en las montañas de Ur, cerca de Urithiru.[2] El area circundante no tiene rocabrotes, y el suelo está lleno de arrugas de entre unos 5 y 8 centímetros de profundidad. En el lado del que viene la tormenta, las arrugas están cubiertas de líquenes y, en la dirección contraria, de hierba aplanada.[1] Los árboles de la zona son escuálidos y encorvados hacia delante, y tienen hojas de cardo. Las laderas no tienen plantas ni árboles, y muy poca gente vive alrededor de ellas. Se pueden encontrar pájaros negros pequeños, del tamaño de la mano de un hombre, en el área, aunque no suelen acercarse a las laderas entre Emul y Hexi. El suelo está cubierto de hierbas de hojas grandes que tiemblan y vibran al tocarlas. No se sabe si este tipo de terreno es común en Hexi o exclusivo de esta zona.
Appearance
“There was a... feeling to the place. Like you could hear all of those plants growing. The valley shivered and cracked. ”
Foothills shield the area from highstorms, resulting in an explosion of plant life. The plant life is so dense it seems impassible, but there are some trails leading through the area. The wind blowing out of the valley is hot and muggy, the air inside musty and damp. It is filled with the sounds of vines rustling and tiny animals scampering among them. Life is so abundant that it seems as if you can hear the plants growing. It is filled with low hanging vines, and the ground is covered in rotten wood. It is dark enough that those inside can barely see. The trees are covered in hanging moss and their bark is wet.[1]
“You'll be in her power, in there. And you don't get to pick the cost.”
Magic
The Valley is the home of Cultivation and her spren, the Nightwatcher. The Nightwatcher is a powerful spren who is connected to the Old Magic.[3] Many people, even Alethi nobility, journey to the Valley to seek a boon from the Nightwatcher.[4] As a result of Cultivation's presence, the Thrill cannot be felt in the Valley, or at least Dalinar is unable to feel it when he visits, despite the fact that he feels he is undergoing a challenge worthy of the Thrill.[1] According to Felt, upon entering the Valley, one is completely in the power of the Nightwatcher. When Dalinar visits, he has a vision of himself killing Elhokar, becoming king, and conquering the world.[1] It is unknown if this was a vision due to Dalinar's unstable emotional and mental state at the moment or the magic of the Valley.
