| Map | Khalas Valley |
Khalas is the western glacial valley of the Ice Cap Region. The valley's most civilized group are the people of Brisingr. With a deep history, the valley and its flanking peaks are dotted with the ruins of fallen empires, in the far west are those of the Gadstill Dynasty and in the middle those of the Malad-Mîn. In the valley's far east, near Halavile, are the ruins of Saer Erkjorg.
Today, the four main groups of the valley are the Turkûn of the Brisingr Federation, the Azwyr Amoruk of the Gamakkhazar Confederation, frost giants of scattered allegiance to one of at least a dozen petty chiefs, and the restless Goliath tribes.
Khalas is the only location where azure crystals can be found. Glowing with an inner bio-luminescence, at night walking through the valley is said to be akin to traveling through the mystical woodlands of the world of Kriav.
