"...[name] stood in the [name2] Hall, a hundred peers watching from the galleys above. She called her Provider's name, and all could feel the power she commanded. [name3] summoned his wards, but all that watched knew his efforts were in vain. The next name she offered was his, and the misery of [name3] was legend."

Landmarks

..

  • Elvehed Tavern.  The Elvehed Tavern is a two-story Gulshart building a few blocks from the shores of Argud's Sound.  The tavern is known for its collection of ancient artifacts which are displayed throughout the main room.  Old broken swords and shields hang from the walls, and an the old Elve skull is mounted above the fireplace to keep the Werrid at bay.
  • Gibbet Hill.  Gibbet Hill is a set of mounds north of Kry Shurulm where criminals are taken to be executed or publicly imprisoned / humiliated.   Only those criminals that have been judged by the High Lord or a representative acting on the Lord's behalf are brought to this windswept place.  Presiding over a collection of rusted and broken apparatuses stand three posts.  A gibbet creaks and turns at the end of a heavy chain from the first post.  A large iron bar hangs from a ring atop the second post, a device used to hang multiple persons.  The last post is crowned by a iron wheel fixed with chain restraints to hold a person prone before the heavens until they starve, or the gods take mercy.  The wheel is a special punishment, for the law allows friends and family to offer food and water to the condemned from the ground, so long as they do not touch the pole, the wheel, or the person.  It is similarly allowable to "lance" the condemned from the ground, though no wound may be mortal.  These posts are surrounded by shallows in the tall grasses where the condemned are buried by guards or loved ones.  It is a crime to remove any condemned person from the hilltop, whether alive or dead.   It is common for loved ones to bring a shovel when visiting the condemned.  On the windward side of the hill are situated two half-circle rows of heavy cages along two flagstone paths.  At the center of these boxes is a small stone fire-ring where firebrands can be shoved into glowing coals.  Most of these cages are broken and serve as nests for animals but the few that have survived the centuries ocassionally are fitted with military prisoners.  In recent years the cages have been filled with captured Urdari.  Unlike the top of Gibbet Hill, there are few laws governing the prisoners that are brought here.  Most that are brought to the Cages do not survive to tell their tale.
  • Graves of Darad.  A series of standing hilltop stones within the present-day borders of the Northwoods.  The stones are believed to mark the graves of early Ezira priests and kings.  At one time the ivy-shrouded menhirs may have been carved with intricate designs, but those patterns are long worn away.  The site is known as Daráda to druids of the region who warn that that the grove is heavily warded against any who might wish to defile the ancient bones.
  • Northwall Inn stands on the outside of Oth's north wall.  Primarily a military watering hole, the inn consists of a central inn, a general store, a fish market, scattered staff residences, warehouses and a good stable.
