Palebank Village
Palebank Village is a small settlement in a cold, snowy region. It holds personal significance for the party — it is where Dristuul was cured of Frigid Woe, and where the nearby ruins of Salsvault were explored. The village was later found destroyed, though one shop remained mysteriously untouched.
Overview
A modest village in a frozen landscape, Palebank served as an early destination for the party. Its leader, Erlo, is the brother of Urgon from Jinsan. The village lies near Salsvault, the ruined laboratory where Ariameia was discovered and the cure for Frigid Woe was found.
