This area, found in The Big Mountains, opens up once you have the bridge in your inventory. Before the bridge it was The Orc Chasm. It is populated by the horrid denizens of the Internet chat room, who will inflict bad spelling damage upon you. If your main stat isn't high enough, you will see the following message:
- As you near the Valley, you hear the beating of drums. Sinister drums. Nearby sinister drums. You freak out, and can go no further.
Template:CombatFrequency All monsters here suffer 30-60 damage from the dictionary, which can be used without being consumed.
