11 Koro Valley is the primary explorable region of Alabaster Dawn's launch Early Access build and the home of Juno. It serves as Chapter 1's hub region: the central village Lyhamn anchors the settlement rebuilding loop, the surrounding zones host the early side quests and Nuemera encounters, and the Trial of Aether dungeon at the valley's edge unlocks the first elemental power outside Juno's starter.

1212  
1313 These side quests gate the introduction of Ortrom Solas and Fain Solas, and most of them double as tool tutorials: the hammer is taught through rock-breaking, and the chakrams are taught through object-puzzle interactions.

3737 Old Kamu Village hosts a Waysprout. Lumber Corner has both a quick-travel point and a cooking pot, available after the Nest is woven. Silver Peak's quick-travel point is technically unlocked at the end of the A Sneak Peak subquest, but the game immediately jumps from there to the Trial of Aether, so it cannot currently be used as a normal travel target.
