Valedaleglenhill

This village in the northeastern part of The Shield was subject to massive geological upheavals during both The Sundering and The Unsundering as well as many smaller upheavals, resulting in its confusing name. As of the beginning of Book 7, it is more of a glen than it is a vale, dale, or hill, but towards the end it is distinctly more of a dale.

The village is administered by the Council of Elders and Betters, a group of frail old men and easily frightened farmers, who decide that when the village comes under threat by the Tentacled Ancient Beast Yamshothog to send "three foolish children" through the trecherous Lands of Va to Elddim's Peak where they might inlist the aid of a conclave of Elemenstors known to be found there.
