Valence is a Faendryl term meaning another dimension or alternate plane of existence. Faendryl sorcerers have been experimenting with interplanar travel for eons, including both demonic summoning and transport to far reaching locations or alternate realities. Magic of this nature is the cornerstone of both Faendryl and sorcerous research. While sorcerous magic concerns itself with the connection to and use of demonic valences, it frequently ignores the planes nearest Elanthia.

Known Sorcerous Valences

Lorae'tyr
Lorae'tyr is home to four of the known minor demons available through the spell, Minor Summoning (725). The igaesha, verlok, grantris, and abyran are found here. Lorae'tyr is primarily humid swamplands with occasional forests and plains. The distinguishing feature to Lorae'tyr is the inconsistant passage of time.
Shien'tyr
Shien'tyr is home to the aishan the shien, and the arashan. Shien'tyr is devoid of light. Any attempts to create light has resulted in the light being immediately snuffed out.
Grik'tyr
Grik'tyr is home to the grik and the imp. The terrain is rocky and the weather is excessively windy. There isn't much variation to the weather, and very little water can be found there.
