Blackvale is the second-newest city in Covenant lands, but it doesn't have much in the way of culture or wealth. During the Sky Wars, those who fled the Storm King's forces gathered in Blackvale, joining forces in the Covenant of All. Ultimately, the alliance was successful, but that success meant that Blackvale was no longer necessary. Blackvale was in harsh terrain in the middle of The Bleakness, and no one in their right minds would want to live there.
Thirty years after the Tempest, Blackvale is little more than a ghost town, with only a small shipyard for whalers, and the occasional ship from across the western sea.
