Appearance
Valor is an underground society built from tunnels near the Claws of the Clouds Mountains. According to Sunny in The Brightest Night, it stretches for miles. Multiple tunnels lead to an underground lake, where the water is supplied from. There is also a series of tunnels that form a school, which Ivy, Violet, and Daffodil have attended at age seven. One particular tunnel in Valor is named Dragonslayer Way, despite the fact that he didn't construct it; a group of women, mothers, and children excavated it, and The Dragonslayer took the credit. There is also a meeting hall where important gatherings and banishments are held. There are also multiple tunnels leading to separate homes.
Society
In Valor, the ruler (as of now, The Dragonslayer) is called the lord. It is unknown if women can be lords in Valor, or just men. The water is supplied to the village from an underground lake, which students of the school take water from every recess. There are multiple positions, including "wing-watchers", which are assumedly people who watch for approaching dragons.
Biography
When Sunny was following Fierceteeth, Strongwings, and Preyhunter past Jade Mountain to the Kingdom of Sand, she hid in a forest nearby. In this forest, she heard some odd noises coming from the underground. At first, she thought they could be rabbits or groundhogs. She could hear these noises from farther away too, telling her it wasn't just a small area. It is possible that this underground area was Valor. Nearby the area where Sunny heard the noises, she saw a charred area of land, and upon closer inspection, realized it was a destroyed scavenger village.
The story begins in Valor.
Trivia
- Valor is the first named Scavenger town, and the fourth named town overall, after the Scorpion Den, Possibility and Sanctuary.
