During the time of Aslauthroa, the giants called this valley Gigunn. When Gilraen came to power, they gave the valley the Elven name Teretellin. They named it after the first son of House Glorfindel, founding family of the Gilraen Oligarchy. The name changed again in 1421. The Khazarkar Empire named it Salbâth after Salbâth Niziganâth, a Setarch that ruled the empire from 1156 - 1207.
When the Gilraen became subjects of the Khazarkar Empire, certain policies of the conquerors led to the flight of several thousand Kriavfahliil to this valley; the genesis of the Salbâth Insurgency (1422 - present) which still rages.
South of the Fangs of Steirgar, the valley becomes very rough terrain, broken with many narrow defiles and deep chasms. Beyond the dangers of a land favoring those on the wing, it has noxious gases potent enough to fell a fire giant.
In northern Salbâth, where th valley gives way to the mountains, there are dozen of Goliath tribes. They are generally unfriendly except when they need help. In the Cinazan Front, forced out of the area by the Horde of Chaos, they moved east into the towering evergreens of Teltenar.
