The above map presents the village called Gilded Vale. It is the first bigger location that you visit in the game world. You reach it for the first time once you've headed south from Valewood. In Gilded Vale you will find both main and side quests to complete. It is highly recommended that you explore the entire village thoroughly. Take a peek into all the buildings, including the inn and the smithy, among others. Apart from that we can also find the Temple of Eothas which has been presented on a separate map.

Important places in the Gilded Vale

1. Big tree

Main quests: Visions and Whispers - Talk to Urgeat after you get to the Gilded Vale for the first time. The meeting takes place close to a big tree. Return there after you have rested at the inn, and find Caldara de Berranzi.

Eder - He is standing close to the big tree and is a potential party member. You can recruit him only after you have completed the Visions and Whispers main quest (You simply need to talk to Eder).

Kolsc - He accosts you close to the big tree, after you have completed A Mother's Plea side quest. This gives you the opportunity to start another side quest - Lord of a Barren Land (it has been described on the Raedric's Hold page).

2. Black Hound Inn

Aloth - He is standing in front of the inn and he is a potential party member. To recruit him, you first need to solve the problem with the Angry Townsmen. You can either encourage them to leave the spot, without provoking a riot (this requires a high level of Perception, Strength or Intelligence), or attack them (they are not very demanding opponents).

Pasca - She is the owner of the inn. While talking to her, you can rent a room from her (a free-of-charge one or one you pay for that provides a temporary increase in your statistics). Apart from that, you can hire a traveler (a new party member) and trade - Pasca sells camping equipment, potions, food and beverages.

At the upper floor of the tavern, there are two locked containers. The chest in the Southern room requires 2 points of Mechanics and 3 lockpicks, or 3 points of Mechanics. The wardrobe in the northern room requires 1 point of Mechanics and 2 lockpicks or 2 points of Mechanics. There's a dog at the end of the corridor. You can pet it and then talk to the inn's owner about it. Doing this will give you a chance to adopt the dog as a pet.

4. Ingroed's House

Side quest: Vengeance from the Grave- Talk to Ingroed and Nonton, and either let them leave the village or kill them.

5. Windmill

Side quest: Against the Grain - See the cutscene in front of the windmill and talk to Trumbel inside the building.

6. Black Hammer Smithery

Side quest: The Smith's Shipment - talk to blacksmith Tuatanu.

Tuatanu - Trader; sells melee weapons, ranged weapons, outfit elements, rings, grappling hooks and prybars.

7. Eothas's destroyed Temple

There is nothing interesting on the surface. Enter the underground part of the Eothas Temple (map M5).
