'''Koom Valley''' is located far north of [[Ankh-Morpork]] in the near Ramtops. It is the site of the oft-told [[Battle of Koom Valley]] and several more battles over the centuries, always between dwarfs and trolls.

	The Battle of Koom Valley was the only battle in history where both sides supposedly ambushed the other, ending in a stalemate, with both sides endlessly accusing the other of treachery during peace talks. This occurred when the ancient dwarven king [[B'hrian Bloodaxe]] came to meet the ancient [[Diamond King\|Diamond]] king of the trolls, to sign a peace-treaty, ending centuries of warfare between the two races. During the course of the peace talks, hot-heads on both sides instigated fighting that expanded beyond the leaders' grasp. In the midst of the battle, the most relentless rain Koom Valley ever endured stormed the valley for weeks and flooded the valley, quelling the fighting. Due to the flooding, [[B'hrian Bloodaxe]] and some of his followers became trapped under the valley with [[Diamond King\|Diamond]] and some of his trolls. Several of them passed the time playing the game [[Thud]], until eventually all were dead. The bodies can still be found below Koom Valley, encased in stone.
