Maelstrom Valley is a region of fire and cliffs located in Forbidden Valley. Maelstrom Valley is located near the Paradox Refinery, where Maelstrom energies are contained in high concentrations for Paradox study. However, the local Maelstrom experiments allowed the Darkitect to infect the dragons of Maelstrom Valley, corrupting them into Maelstrom Dragons. Since the creation of Maelstrom Dragons, the Maelstrom Valley has been blocked off by a large gate marked by a Fortress Dragon Statue.
