All villages, Shrines, and merchants
Use this page as the location checklist for Vale Sangora. Villages are settlement landmarks, Shrines are fast-travel and upgrade points, and merchants are often unlocked or expanded by quests.
Eight villages / settlements
Village | Access --- | --- Laslea | Starting village; available during and after the prologue Military Camp | Open-world settlement landmark after the prologue Maragir | Ambrus region; the Gilded Gauntlet starts nearby Parlita | Mountain settlement west of Mount Balaur Svartrau | Capital city and central merchant hub Tantari | Tantari Woods settlement and Xanthe activity region Oghasti | Open-world village available after the prologue Uriash Village | Hidden; unlock through A Friend Like This → Song of the Mountain
Visit all eight for Tour Guide Training. Uriash is the one most often missed: attempting to walk there before Song of the Mountain gives a “You can’t go further” warning.
Shrines and fast travel
Shrines are discovered in the world and activated by interacting with them. Climb the 11 Towers to reveal nearby points of interest, then activate every Shrine you pass. Shrine-to-Shrine fast travel is free; the Shrine menu is also where Coen stores gear, spends skill points, and chooses Wait.
Regional sweep order:
- Laslea Glen and Maragir Wealds while completing the prologue and Ambrus activities.
- Svartrau and Briar Sloughs before Crake/Lacra errands.
- Tantari Woods and the Silts during Xanthe’s activities.
- Rockfalls, St. Tyna’s Grove, Boar’s Back, and the mountain routes while collecting manuals and legendary gear.
Some Shrines are destroyed and require a heart-restoration objective before they join the network. Check the confirmation prompt for any time-segment cost.
Merchant types and known locations
Merchant | Location / unlock --- | --- Witchcraft vendor Anca | Crossroads Inn, St. Tyna’s Grove, after Echoes of Silenced Bells Witchcraft vendor Vera | East Briar Sloughs, southeast of Mert’s Mill Peddler of Wonders | The Midden, ruined district west of Svartrau Mevasser | Neustadt in Svartrau, house left of the central-square stone arch Uriash Matriarch | Unlocked through Lacra’s Song of the Mountain Sanzhani merchant | Complete Gone Home, then Letters to Lunka through Pearly and Precious Silver Trader | Southwest Svartrau; unlock the lead by completing Into the Den Fishmonger | Svartrau market during the day
Blacksmiths, armourers, medics, general stores, taverns, Swordmastery teachers, and Silver Traders are marked after Towers reveal the map. Their stock can change after Court Activities, quests, or Infamy Edicts, so revisit vendors after each vassal route.
