The Valley of Black Winds, also called Blackveil, is a place within the Aelfpaths – on the borderlands of the Wyldpaths (Feywild/Shadowfell). It is a perilous trek through a long, winding, deep mountain valley in which shadows twitch and twist, and the forgotten prayers of all of the souls that have died there echo in the breeze. In between the prayers, said to hold answers about Blackveil, are the whisperings of madness. Any who seek knowledge are as likely to be driven mad as to find what they seek. On top of it is a wind that coalesces into a black, razor edged covering – shredding those who cannot find shelter along the way.
