Sheldomar Valley

Sheldomar Valley

In the "World of Greyhawk" campaign setting for the "Dungeons and Dragons" roleplaying game, the Sheldomar Valley refers to the large swath of fertile land in the southwestern Flanaess, bordered by the "Barrier Peaks" to the north, "Crystalmists" and "Hellfurnaces" to the west, "Azure Sea" to the south and the Lortmils to the east.

The valley is named after the "Sheldomar River", which runs through a good portion of its length.

A number of nations make up the Sheldomar Valley, the largest being the Kingdom of Keoland. Other notable realms include Bissel, Geoff, the Gran March, the "Hold of the Sea Princes", the Ulek States, the "Valley of the Mage" and the Yeomanry.
