Forgotten Vale is a location found in The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard.

It is a large glacial valley hidden deep within the mountains on the border of northeastern High Rock and Skyrim. Access can only be gained through Darkfall Cave during or after Touching the Sky.

The valley features its own unique flora and fauna and a handful of caves and subsections throughout. The area also contains a large concentration of Falmer, who have built a series of walkways and camps throughout a canyon leading to the Inner Sanctum, one of the last Snow Elf bastions left.

Geographic featuresEdit

The valley is surrounded by vast, unscalable mountains making it completely isolated from the rest of Skyrim. It's split into two large areas which are separated by a narrow canyon. One side contains a waterfall that sits below a vast frozen lake and the other side is a snowy forest environment.

Word WallEdit

To get to the word wall, go to the Wayshrine of Resolution and go south onto the frozen lake. In the middle of the lake there is a stone jutting out, with a staircase leading up one side. Upon approaching this stone, the Dragonborn will learn a word of the shout Drain Vitality. The two Revered Dragons Voslaarum and Naaslaarum will then burst out of the ice.

Notable itemsEdit
