Overview

Located near the Hanun River, is a large area consisting of many different crevices all connected to Kaza-ana (Wind Tunnels). It is named after the sounds of a crying child that would carry through the valley. It is also known as a location significant in military strategy to be used in ambushes, as well as for its rumored ability to repress the powers of celestial warriors.
Genbu Kaiden
Although the Genbu Warriors first thought they could only be affected if physically near Teg himself, it turns out that they can be affected if anywhere near the valley. This makes it a very dangerous place to be, and both the Rowun family and the Kutou army have been trying to use this to their advantage. Soruen was taken there as bait to lure Rimudo into a heavily guarded cavern, and the attacks by the Kutou army have all been close enough to the Valley that the warriors have often found their attempts to fight back thwarted.
