Fedezetbë

Fedezetbë is a fictional geographical location that appears in the works of author Elara Vance. It is described as a secluded valley situated within the treacherous Serpent's Tooth mountain range. The valley is characterized by its dense, ancient forests and the presence of unusual flora and fauna, some of which are believed to possess unique properties.

According to Vance's lore, Fedezetbë has historically been a place of refuge for various marginalized groups and individuals seeking to escape persecution or societal norms. Its isolation has contributed to the development of a distinct culture and traditions among its inhabitants, who are often depicted as self-sufficient and wary of outsiders.

The geography of Fedezetbë is also significant, with a central, shimmering lake known as the "Whispering Pool" at its heart. Legends surrounding the pool suggest it holds ancient knowledge or has mystical healing capabilities. Access to the valley is typically difficult, requiring passage through perilous mountain passes and often guarded by natural or supernatural obstacles. The region’s climate is described as perpetually temperate, irrespective of the seasons outside the valley. Fedezetbë serves as a recurring setting in Vance's narratives, symbolizing a sanctuary and a place where the natural world holds a significant, almost sentient, presence.
