Locations

2. Fort of the Stormwatch

A robust building made of sand stone at the side of the mountain is the entrance to many caves lying behind it. This building is always well guarded for it is the home of the stormwatch, the army of King Lebos.

4. Everburning Giant

A gigantic statue representing a giant with a huge hammer and tools fitting for a stone maze. The statue is black from the ash of a hot burning fire surrounding the whole statue. The fire seems to be burning in a clear defined circle arround the statue, not needing any wood or other material to continue burning. The outer parts of the fire are surrounded by ash and blackened earth as if the fire originally was bigger then it is now.

Around the fire there are 4 pilars, all of the standing the same distance away from the statue, the fire and to each other. They seem to be made of white marble and show fine lines on them and statues of ravens with a beak made of ruby, all facing the giant statue in the middle.

7. Mina's Memorial

A cube like building standing on steep hill in the middle of the city. It has a large gate on the front and on each of the other sides a big window made of coloured glass, making it difficult to look into the building. It is constantly protected by reckoners and other soldiers while the commoners come here to lay down gifts like flowers and weapons. It is easaly noticable that the ground around the cube is more fertile then the rest of the valley, especially on the left side.

Just important indivuduals are allowed to step through the guarded gate. Inside there are 2 coffins, one one the left and a much bigger one on the right. In front of these coffins there are tomp stones. The one on the left reads: "Here lies Mina, Queen of the Stormlands, Sister of Lebos and Supreme Druid of the moving hills. May the afterlife grant you completion.". The The one on the right reads: "Lebos". There is a lot of space on the tomp stone like whoever build it has not yet begun to write more but already planned for some hart felt words being added at a later point in time.

8. Weather Top Temple

A huge pyramid like building made of grey stone like the surrounding mountains standing at the south, being build into the cliffs protecting the city. It's stairs, gates and rooms are enormous, showing that this building most likely was build by giants or other beings of that size. On top of the pyramide there are 4 huge pillars constantly crackling with electrical energy and every now and then lightning strikes the air around them. The Structure is partially covered in moss and other very old plants found their way to grob in the cracks showing that this building mus be ancient.

This is the home of Reckoner Clan (Minotaurs of the Stormlands) and is also the place where the current king of the Minotaurs reside - Dominos, Second Son of Lebos.

Under the pyramid there are plenty of tunnels leading deep into the earth and the mountain next to the building. Within this twisted labyrinth there are many secret rooms that are used by the Reckoners to educate their youngest aspirants, others to forge weapons and others for keeping the treasures and knowladge of the clan protected.
