The lower valley is a fierce introduction to some of the enemies you will be encountering in Keshma. An excellent hunting ground for experience while growing in Keshma, but also a dangerous area due to spell casting druids and wandering lair critters.
Wild animals litter the lands, but be especially wary of the Lions! They will quickly tear apart even the sturdiest of fighters. When killing griffins be on the lookout... there is rumor of a Griffin Matriarch near by. For those seeking another hunting challenge, head west to the Matriarch. Other animals to keep an eye out for include Rare varieties that can drop Kesh Coins and Uncommon Gems as well as Diseased varieties that can give you an illness that will kill you over a period of time. Make sure you carry 1-2 Red Mugwort on you at all times, or at the very least a recall ring so you can recall before dying. You can buy Red Mugwort in Keshma, and you can also find it growing near the climb up by hearing northwest to a bend around a small pond and then taking that south a bit.
As you begin to explore the Valley you will undoubtedly encounter the druids. These druids are able summon animal companions while safely attacking from afar. Even as you have them on the brink of death they will surprise you with their bear shape form; regaining health before engaging you anew.
A wandering drake patrols the area, but is largely kept in check by hungry players cashing in on Keshma Bounties. This gives the Lower Valley an old feeling of the Underkingdom Surface in that sense. As of 12/07/2025, the Drake somewhat announces it's spawn. If you see a "deep voice" spam your chat log, it means the Drake is attempting to spawn. He will spawn on the hex containing the 500th kill (that's what the voice is counting upwards to) and has about a 4-5 hour respawn.
