Valiant steps off the boat onto Exina with fellow traveller Wyatt. Time for a look around, but first a long stretch after the voyage!
Sea Vista
A perfect place to spend a summer's day, relaxing by the sea after a busy day exploring. The ocean stretches as far as the eye can see. Wouldn't it be exciting for a group of pets to take a big boat out and spend a day sailing!

@ Canaan's Golden Corn
"You know what's missing here, Valiant?"

"No, Spicy, what's missing?"

"Nothing, Valiant. This place is purr-fect!"
Canaan's Golden Corn
What is it about cornfields that inspired so many famous painters to put brush to canvas? An easy answer is that the growing of corn was so much part of the lives of the ordinary people in England, Europe and America that the countryside was covered in corn so the scenes were hard to avoid for the en plein air artists.

Landmark 24/25

@ Tropical Rapture
Valiant looked around the scene in consternation, asking Sweetie pie where he was supposed to plug in his iron and fur drier?
Tropical Rapture
Nothing conjures up the image of bright skies and a sun-drenched beach by a deep blue sea more successfully than a palm tree!

Landmark 25/25

Valiant finally makes it back to the landing stage, where Kai is also about to embark and go home. What an adventure it has been! Valiant pockets a map of Exina as a momento. The guidebook says:
