Valley of Exiles

The Valley of Exiles was nestled within the Kun-Yen Shan mountain range in the Hordelands.

Inhabitants
As the name implied, the Valley of Exiles housed enemies of the Emperor of Shou Lung, mainly political prisoners. Once sentenced to the Valley an exile was never allowed to leave. The exiles lived as they wished within the valley, but contact with the outside world was forbidden.
