Oros-Mourn

Oros-Mourn is a marvel of lithic engineering carved directly into the living granite of Mount Aethel. To a human, the scale is staggering: steps are three feet high and doorways could admit a ship. Glowing blue runes hum with the vibration of the mountain. It serves as a neutral ground where Stone Giant clans read mineral veins to predict the future. Here, time is measured in centuries and silence is the greatest form of respect.

History

Founded in the Age of Foundations, Oros-Mourn was established when the giant king Thalgrim found the Echoing Stone. For millennia, the clan lived in isolation, recording history through rock-carvings. Recently, tremors from lowland wars have cracked their sacred murals, forcing the reclusive giants to look toward the world below. They now cautiously permit outsiders to trade for rare star-metals found only on the summit.

Mythic EraThe Discovery of the EchoThalgrim the Mute heard the mountain speak and began the first excavations.

Dark AgesThe Siege of FrostA flight of white dragons attempted to claim the peak but was repelled by giant artillery.

Modern EraThe Great FissureAn earthquake opened a vein of corrupted crystal in the lower vaults, poisoning the air.
