'Valor' is a human settlement introduced in Dragonslayer. It is an
underground city built from tunnels near the Claws of the Clouds
Mountains, as the previous town was burned down by dragons.

## Description

Valor is an underground city located near the Claws of the Clouds
Mountains. According to Sunny, who heard them from aboveground, it
stretches for miles. Valor consists of cramped tunnels, as well as the
outside world where Wingwatchers serve as warning messengers if a dragon
were to approach the city.

No person except Heath and the Wingwatchers were allowed outside the
city under Heath's rule, even his own Ivy|daughter. Such actions would
come with banishment. Any thoughts or actions against the Dragonslayer's
wishes are strictly forbidden.

## Notable features

### Dragonslayer Way

Dragonslayer Way is a tunnel that was excavated by a group of women,
mothers, and children. Heath took the credit for the construction of the
tunnel and named it after himself.

### Underground Lake

The underground lake is connected to the village through multiple
tunnels, and is Valor's source of water. Water is supplied to the
village from an underground lake that students of the school take water
from every recess.

### Meeting Hall

The meeting hall is where important gatherings and banishments are held.
It is a huge natural cave studded with rock formations and laced with
crystals, white and pomegranate pink and lime green melting into one
another.

### Unnamed School

There is a school that is formed by a series of several tunnels. Ivy,
Daffodil, and Violet attended this school at the age of seven.

### Heath's Home

Heath and his family lived in a cave-mansion decorated with elegant
carvings, small jewelry, and gold leaf-painted vases. Ivy's room has
drawings of dragons, a hammock, and a oil lamp. In the living room,
there is a case with Queen Oasis' tail barb on a tapestry-covered
cabinet.

## History

### The Dragonet Prophecy

#### The Brightest Night

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 odd noises coming from underground. At first, she
thought they could be rabbits or groundhogs. She could hear these noises
from farther away too, implying it was not just a small area. It is
likely that this underground area was Valor. Nearby where Sunny heard
the noises, she saw a charred area of land, and upon closer inspection,
realized it was a destroyed scavenger village.
