Rowan and the Travelllers
According to Ogden's tales of the Valley of Gold, more than three hundreds years ago, when the Valley was populated by people, it was tradition to keep a golden owl with emerald eyes before each house. The golden owl that Rowan found when he and Zeel sought after the Valley, was one such sculpture.
