Description
The realm of the Golden Valley is an interesting one, lying but an arm's reach from the main realm of Wurm. A world seemingly locked in stasis - in an eternal loop that completely wipes the land clean every now and then. All new souls entering the Wurm universe will appear within this tiny landscape, and are perfectly free to explore or colonize it as they choose. However, come with a friend, as the realm contains perils far greater than the mere search for food and water..
The server is the starting point for all free to play characters (see Basic account), and has the presence of two kingdoms on it - Mol-Rehan and Jenn-Kellon. Your beginning choice of kingdom will not affect your ultimate choice of kingdom in the full, premium Wurm realm, so choose whatever you feel fits you best, as you can change it before you leave golden Valley for wider lands.
There is a third civilization - the fearsome Horde of the Summoned do not have direct access to this fabled realm, and as such, a teleporter to their lands does not exist. You must seek out a member of the Horde to join their cause personally. There is a Horde of the Summoned showcase settlement in the lands of Golden Valley so that you can see examples of their structures and style. Take care when around this area, as the guards have been known to escape their bounds and attack the unfortunate traveller.
Due to a mysterious pacifying force, PvP combat is disabled on this server. Deed and tower guard constructs are not immune to this force however, so tread on controlled soil at your own peril. This force is rumored to weaken the animal inhabitants of this realm.
Once you step through one of the many portals inhabiting this realm, beware - for you are unable to return. The decision to leave Golden Valley for greater adventure and opportunity is permanent.
Landscape
The Golden Valley boasts a fairly mild landscape, sporting aspects of all three servers combined. The MR section of the map is mountainous, wild and untamed - very similar to both the territories controlled by Mol-Rehan on the Wild server, and the overall terrain on the Mol-Rehan home server. Adversely, the Jenn-Kellon lands are flatter and easier to colonize, but hunting and resources are more sparse than normal.
Compared to the true realm, the Golden Valley is astonishingly small - a mere sixteenth of the size of other continents in the Wurm universe. Due to it's smaller size, animal and creature densities can get quite high, making travel hazardous and friends even more important!
