Imagine a valley cradled by towering peaks, a place where untamed wilderness intertwines with echoes of a mysterious past. Welcome to the Magica Vallee a world inspired by the breathtaking reality of the Aosta Valley, but enriched with a dash of magic and adventure.
The valley is a veritable treasure trove of nature. Irregular in shape, it’s traversed by the Dora Baltea River, winding like a silver ribbon and fed by torrents cascading from the lateral valleys. The peaks, scraping the heavens at over 4000 meters, offer a majestic and ever-changing spectacle, particularly during the harsher seasons.
The seasons are in constant flux, shaping the landscape and the lives of its inhabitants. Summers are warm and sunny, perfect for exploring forests and meadows, or cooling off in the crystal-clear waters of the torrents. Winters, on the other hand, transform the valley into a pristine white blanket, where silence is broken only by the crackling of fires and the whisper of wind through the trees.
In the Magica Vallee, the geography has been reimagined to create a unique and adventurous atmosphere. As the author explains, "the geography of the Aosta Valley as described in Magica Vallee is very similar to the real one, although much simpler and exaggerated in its aspects."
On the south side of the valley, the Envers stretches out with its evocative atmosphere. This slope, less exposed to the sun during the cold season, is shrouded in an aura of mystery and enchantment. Ancient legends and stories passed down through generations make it a place steeped in darkness and intrigue.
To simplify the setting, the valley's territory is divided into two main climate zones: the valley floor, more populated and teeming with life, and the higher ridges, a realm of ice and rock. In the valley floor, amidst lush vineyards and ancient forests, picturesque villages, medieval castles, and imposing fortresses rise. As you ascend, the landscape becomes increasingly rugged and wild, until you reach the perpetual glaciers where only the hardiest creatures can survive.
The Magica Vallee version of Aosta Valley offers a unique playing experience, where the real geography transforms into a fantastic setting, ready to host your most incredible adventures.
