A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Corihor, Land and Valley

by George Reynolds

CORIHOR, LAND AND VALLEY. The scene of some of the most hotly contested battles between Shiz and Coriantumr, in the last great Jaredite war. Its locality is unknown, but it was evidently on the northern continent. Shiz, having been defeated by Coriantumr, retreated to this valley, sweeping off before him the inhabitants who would not join him. There his army pitched its tents, but when the contending hosts of men, women and children were sufficiently rested, Coriantumr challenged Shiz. Three battles ensued. Shiz was, in the end, victorious; but so weakened were his followers that they could not follow up their victory, and from sheer exhaustion hostilities ceased for a time.
