I love the fog idea, and I love the stream idea. I especially love the prediction aspect.
Wait, actually I kinda just had an idea. What if the Valley's geography shifts, and there is only one entrance that takes you through a maze of tiny, narrow crags? If you're not loyal to the Valley, or led through by someone who is, you would just end up back where you started. This could be really annoying/unfair for invaders, so maybe it only leads to the "inner" Valley?
There is also always the tree thing. I'm kind of partial to the tree thing, because I kind of have already had a tree do a bunch of stuff for Librette. Anyway, the tree could be this huge gnarled thing in the middle of the Valley, which would be the center of its power. It could have something of a mind of its own - perhaps new recruits have to swear before it KIND OF LIKE THE NIGHT'S WATCH GUYS. We could have a Valley oath! The tree could also test them somehow before they're allowed to swear.
Just my two cents. I am not a fan of having the Valley horses marked - I really think that tattoos are the Zons' thing, and I don't feel right snagging even a corner of that for our use. And scarring is the Tundra's thing, so I don't think we can snag that.
