In this valley, those honored as "Elders" were once the Gladiator leaders who followed Lady Mona in resisting the Shadow Elves. Each of them was highly skilled in martial arts and held significant influence among their clansmen. Unfortunately, the large-scale attack that led to Adel's departure years ago resulted in many elders dying on the battlefield.
Currently, there are only four elders left in Shadow Valley. Judging by the lifespan of half-elves, they are all in the prime of their lives, each at the silver tier and boasting formidable combat power.
This small valley, with just over three thousand people, has four silver-tier individuals and almost two hundred black-iron-tier ones. From this perspective, Shadow Valley's power in the Wasteland Mountain region isn't weak at all—on paper, it even rivals the Blood Vulture Clan.
But the biggest problem is the number of half-elves.
