Explore the Storybook Vale
Welcome to the Storybook Vale, a whole new realm separate from Disney Dreamlight Valley that desperately needs your help. The realm is being held hostage by not one but two evil villains, and it's your job to make them see reason.
The Storybook Vale is home to three different biomes: The Bind, Everafter, and Mythopia. Each biome has its own Critters, Snippets, Resources, and Quests to discover.
Unlock a New Tool: The Royal Net
Many of your adventures throughout the Storybook Vale will rely on a new tool: the Royal Net. You will need this Net to open secret doors and catch Snippets, a new, meddlesome creature in the Vale.
Upon arriving in the Storybook Vale, you will meet Merida, who has been trapped within a cage of Inkies. Once rescued, she will take you straight to the Library of Lore, where you will unlock and learn how to use the new tool. The Royal Net is a butterfly net of sorts, specifically designed to capture the Storybook Snippets that have escaped the Lorekeeper and scattered throughout the Vale.
New Critters to Meet
Each new region in the Storybook Vale has its own new and adorable critter to meet. By feeding them their liked or favorite foods for long enough, you can tame these critters and add them to your growing list of companions in Disney Dreamlight Valley!
To learn how to approach and tame each of the new critters, see our comprehensive guides below:

Journey To The Unwritten Realms
On July 9, 2025, Part 2 of The Storybook Vale's story was released: The Unwritten Realms. This new set of Quests sees you help Maleficent by journeying to the mysterious Unwritten Realms as well as finally learning what happened to the missing Princess Aurora.
You can start the Unwritten Realms quests after completing "A Long-Awaited Invitation ." Shortly after completing that Quest, a letter from the Lorekeeper will appear in your Mailbox. Read the letter to begin "A Storm of Stories," the first Quest in the Unwritten Realms story.

- Other Quests
Merida Quests
Merida, the feisty Scottish princess from Brave, lives in Storybook Vale and is eager to help you clear away the strange ink that has begun to infest the Veil and restore the magic of storytelling to the Lorekeeper.
Flynn Rider Quests
Flynn Rider is a dashing rogue who appeared alongside Rapunzel in Tangled. To be unlocked as a Villager, he must first be freed from a curse cast by Maleficent. Because Flynn accompanies you during the Fairy Tale Trials in the Everafter biome, they have been included on his quest list, as bringing him with you is required to complete them.
Hades Quests
Although Hades, the Lord of the Underworld from Hercules, may be somewhat of an antagonist, in that he's partially responsible for the ink covering the Vale, he's also a friendly (if a little hot-headed) guy who can join up as a normal Villager after you complete the right Quests.
Because Hades joins you for the Mythic Trials in the Mythopia biome, and his presence is required for these quests, they have been included on his quest list.
Trial Quests
Trial Quests are a special type of quest that is only available in Disney Dreamlight Valley's Storybook Vale expansion. These Quests act as tests in which you must recreate either classic fairy tales or classic myths to clear ink away from the Vale and make your way either to Maleficent's Castle or Hades' home on Mount Olympus. There are three Fairy Tale Trials and three Mythic Trials that you have to complete.
Fairy Tale Trials
Fairy Tale Trials are located in the Everafter biome. Flynn Rider accompanies you for each one and can sometimes offer hints. When you complete a Fairy Tale Trial, the beanstalk leading towards Maleficent's castle grows taller.

Lorekeeper Quests
The Lorekeeper is introduced in Part 1 of the expansion as the kindly guardian of Storybook Vale's stories. In Part 1, she only assists in Quests, but does have a Quest of her own in Part 2.
Aurora Quests
Aurora, the title character from Sleeping Beauty, is the last character that you unlock in the Storybook Vale. She wants to do everything she can to help out around the Vale, from throwing a party to stopping Maleficent and Hades' evil plans in their tracks!
