The War between the Angels and Demons had many victims, but the one that has taken longest to recover is Mother Nature. Some of the places had been lost for centuries while recovering, and are only now being rediscovered. So grab a torch and join Angels Online (http://ao.igg.com) in revealing the long lost Crescent Valley.

Thousands of years ago the valley was famous for the crescent shaped oasis that lay at the bottom. Overflowing with greenery and small animal life, it supported the ecosystem of the entire valley. During the War and the chaos that followed, the land was stripped of resources and water and left to ruin. Only a small brackish pool and a few dry, twisted trees remained. The travelers stopped coming and the place grew silent as the life that had once flourished here died away. Creeping into this void came monsters and demons of all stripes, content to find a place they would not be bothered by the hated Angel’s.

Situated near the Iron Castle, this oasis was once vitally important, and can be again if cleaned up. Running around the map are many nasty little buggers just waiting to sink whatever sharp appendage is closest into some soft Angel flesh. Gloomy Smokers can be seen ambling near the entrance of the map, while deeper in groups of venomous Sand Spiders, and deadly Purple Scorpions have set up shop. Here and there bizarre Moon Worms can be seen twinkling and sparkling in the darkness like fireflies. Players venturing through can decide for themselves how much they want to antagonize the wildlife near the entrance, but don’t be too intimidated, the monsters here aren’t too powerful. In fact, this area is great for leveling and practice.

Venture deeper to find the worst of the worst. These guys are out for blood and won’t take ‘no’ for an answer. Vicious Cactus Fighters can be seen swinging their heavy axes impatiently, and if disturbed, they can summon terrifying man-eating monsters. Get past them and you may catch a glimpse of Valley Worm Kenny, just make sure he doesn’t see you!

For production players, the news is mixed. Although most of the valuable resources have long since been stripped away, there is still plenty to be found here. Collecting, fishing, lumbering, or digging are all available, just make sure to keep one eye open for danger!
