Far down the valley, lies the bedrock of slate, Stubborn, covered by gravel, held down by kudzu, and dotted with boulders.
Visitors tumble down the scrub brush hill, but struggle to climb back up.
The denizens are stiff half-stone creatures. Stoney bison roam gravel plains and graze on rocks.
Strict laws govern who comes and goes. Other lands avoid relations with Stubborn.
"Even talks could lead to war," says one Council member. "And stubborn has nothing anyone needs or wants."
"Not true," says another. "There are rare hard-pressed gemstones. I've heard there are pockets of these among the stone."
"Bah," says the other. "Not worth the trouble."
But occasionally, a Stubborn trinket surfaces — a gem or magic stone — which fetches an exorbitant price.
Miss Emeline Traveler can distinguish a Stubborn jewel when she sees one.
