“When you get to the peak, remember the valley exists”

It is easy to forget the cruelty of some lands when one visits the Jade Valley. The beautiful slopes and gentle hills create a world where all are free and all are safe. The culture of these lands is known worldwide - the peaceful guardians and townsfolk wander from village to village without fear of being attacked, for these lands have always been safe and always will be. That is the nature of the Jade Valley, that is the nature is tranquility.

Firstly I'd love to say a thank you to Team Aurae for the renders. However, I'm not fully satisfied with my use of coloured clay in place of grass. Originally this was just an experimental piece, hence the clays, but ultimately I liked the outcome. I love the renders, and although I'm not fully satisfied with the clays and trees used I do like it overall. If I was to do a similar map in the future I would replace the clay experiment with grass and maybe look into different trees. The original theme was jungle plains but it changed very quickly from the original idea.

I used the following tools to create this map:

• WorldPainter (for creating the map)
  
• WorldMachine (for creating the map)
  
• Chunky (for rendering the map)
