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 choice of kingdom will not affect your real kingdom in the true Wurm realm, so choose whatever you feel fits you best, as you can change before you leave for wider lands. Take note however - the fearsome Horde of the Summoned do not have 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.

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 choices you make in the Golden Valley are as permanent as you wish them to be.

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.
