The Ravelin was originally the fortress only at the top of the bluff. It was built to keep an eye on traffic in the Mistydeep and exert Vaaloran control over it. Over the centuries, the local shops that serviced the fort became a small village and recreational area for Vaalorans to escape the Fortress in the summer and enjoy fresh air. The architecture is more relaxed and natural than that of the Fortress.

Map of Ravelin

For a map of the area including Mistydeep River and Sorcerer's Isle, see GSGuide.

The Ravelin is a small town in the Elven Nations region, located a bit north/northwest of Ta'Vaalor.

The Ravelin was originally the fortress only at the top of the bluff. It was built to keep an eye on traffic in the Mistydeep and exert Vaaloran control over it. Over the centuries, the local shops that serviced the fort became a small village and recreational area for Vaalorans to escape the Fortress in the summer and enjoy fresh air. The architecture is more relaxed and natural than that of the Fortress.
