Lore & Background
The source material for Thorgal covers the main series, its characters, and its spin-offs, but contains no mention of a location called "New Valnor." The only connection to the name "Valnor" is through the character Kriss of Valnor, who is described as a young, beautiful, unscrupulous, and deadly warrior. She is the daughter of Kahaniel of Valnor. Later in the series, after apparently sacrificing her life, she is revealed to be alive and queen in the northern lands. No specific kingdom or region named "New Valnor" is ever referenced in the source.
In Their Own Story
A young reader, having finished the volume where Kriss of Valnor becomes queen in the northern lands, searched the subsequent albums for a place called "New Valnor." They found no mention of it. The story of Thorgal continues through the adventures of his family, including his son Jolan and daughter Louve, but the name "New Valnor" does not appear in any of the documented storylines, from the debut in 1977 to the ongoing spin-off series.
