sallivale

Sallivale is a fictional geographic location that appears in the works of author Ursula K. Le Guin, notably in her Earthsea series. It is described as a sparsely populated region on the archipelago of Earthsea, characterized by its arid climate and rugged landscape. The name "Sallivale" itself evokes a sense of remoteness and resilience.

The inhabitants of Sallivale are typically depicted as hardy and self-sufficient, accustomed to the harsh conditions of their homeland. They are often portrayed as having a deep connection to the land and a practical, no-nonsense approach to life. While not a major center of power or population within Earthsea, Sallivale serves as a significant backdrop for certain events and character developments in the series, highlighting the diverse environments and cultures that make up Le Guin's imagined world. Its existence underscores the vastness and variety of the archipelago, where different peoples and ways of life have adapted to unique ecological niches.
