The Valley of Pride is a massive edifice built of wierwood and deep mined stone that encircles the delicate herb gardens within. This impressive sinecure has the runes of pride carved across its walls many times and its vaulted entrance archways with their crenulations and guard posts and the wierwood stockade walls stand high against the surrounding land. Trees shrubs herbs and other flora stand along the paths that lead to the sinecures mighty studded entrance doors each door has had the run of pallas carved upon it at eye height the flora slowly creeps its ways along and up the walls blending nature and man made might. This sinecure shows in itself a total self dedication to pride as every wall every surface is covered in runes and carved stories concerning the accomplishments of the followers, exemplars and paragons of pride from across the empire. Where imagery could be found the faces of paragons and exemplars reside carved into the hard dark stone where the stories of their exploits can be read, within this huge erection resides the more common herbs found dutifully kept and tendered by household members of the Wintermark hall of Hendle hearth. The gardens of the inside are a sharp difference to the wild and only just recognisably tendered gardens of the harder to grow herbs of the empire which line the hills around the sinecure this enables maximum harvests of both easy and hard to grow herbs. The valley of pride lies next to the Hall of Hendle hearth between South ridge and Woodheath, just outside the village of WoodHall . Built upon the prosperity of Tyr Brenna so that Brienne Stormborn can, through the herbs continue to keep the Mark their allies and the empire on their feet and battling the enemy for longer, she believes, “Every herb is a life on the battlefield saved, and every herb lost is a life lost on the battlefield”. --> | |||
