How does this ambient magical energy effect Divine and Arcane spellcasters throughout the period from the theft of the world to the return of the gods? Does it negate the effective spell caster level reduction, or allow WoHS to leech the very ambient magical energy to power their spells. Is it a location whose very holiness allows clerics (and KoS) of Paladine or KJ to cast Divine magic as though their gods were present and answering prayers? I am just curious, and looking for input, as I put together a campaign. Thanks in advance for any help given.

Thus the goodly knights would have an advantage against any evil foes that enter the Vale to do battle against them, as well as any one or all of what you guessed.

Foghaven vale is a similiar site. it might be termed as a hallowed site, but i tend to think there's something even more mysterious/holy about these sites. Granak Red-Silver
