With the mountains protecting the West and South of The Vale, their East and North are protected by the ocean, which means that not only are they naturally defended on all sides but they also are able to turn a good profit off of fishing. The Vale is an extremely mountainous region and is protected by the hulking landmasses that span their entire southern and western border, with few breaks in-between. The Vale can be located North-East of the Westerlands, East of the Riverlands, and South-East of the North. With the Iron Throne facing rebellion in every direction, it may be time to make a move for independence or wait until everyone else has been bled white and seize the Iron Throne and all of Westeros. While they have an elite fighting force capable of rapid conquest, the Vale’s true weakness is the Vale cannot replenish losses quickly. This knightly class is constantly at war with the Vale Mountain Clans, keeping them sharp and fit for battle.

Militarily the Vale is one of the strongest nations, primarily due to the strength of their knightly class. These quarries are a key contributor to the economy of the Vale and keep the vaults of the Vale lords and landed knights full of silver. While the sweetness of the fruit of the Vale is legendary, a skilled class of labor quarries the stone and marble that make the castles and palaces of Westeros.

The population of the Vale is modest and many of the population eek out their existence as serfs in the fertile mountain valleys. Under the Faith of the Seven, the Vale has become the epitome of knightly virtues, no other region in the known world can vow such fervent loyalty to the Seven. The Vale boast a rich and turbulent history where the Old Gods and the Seven hammered away at each other until the Old Gods limped into the mountains becoming a permanent nuisance in the form of the Mountain Clans. If any region can claim the pure ideals of the Seven, it is the Vale.
