Valley of Stories, the "Large-go-stone-no-more-find-soft-dark-sleeping-place-to-tell-stories-by-fires", was the ancestral lands of the nezumi Squeaky Eyeball Tribe, in the northwestern Twilight Mountains. From above, its shape resembled a large backwards 'c', opening up from the tall cliffs of the mountains onto the far western plains of the Empire. The Chamber of the Council of the Eye was located there. This area was selected as the tribe's warren because no humans ever came into the region. Unknown to the tribe, it was thus deserted because of its relative proximity to the Tomb of Iuchiban.
