But after eloping with Grandfather Cactus's nymph (18.28), the nymph began insisting they settle somewhere. He chose this place, a spring-fed pool at the foot of a nameless mountain. Huw spends his days hunting mountain goats and antelope with stone-tipped spears while his lover tends a pomegranate orchard. She enchants the pomegranates to grant various boons, including healing wounds and improving the body and mind.But the threat that lurks within the Nameless Mountain may soon put an end to their idyllic life. Uriza the Solemn (15.24) knows of Old Black, the dragon that slumbers in the roots of the mountain. Although Old Black has not stirred in twenty years, during his last rampage, he laid waste to the twin towns of Olgam and Oskill in the west. Old Black's claws and teeth are obsidian daggers, and his breath is said to corrode flesh, wood and even stone.There have been troubling signs lately, and the couple suspects something is awry. The pomegranate trees on the mountain's slopes are withering, and even her magic cannot revive them. Foul air drifts from caves near the peak. Huw has been caught hooded, black-scaled kobolds snooping around their pool and orchard. They seem to be fleeing something...Hooks-Tell me more about the enchanted pomegranates.-Why is Old Black stirring? Does he simply not like his new neighbors, or is there a significance to his twenty years of slumber?-What remains of Olgam and Oskill, the twin towns to the west?-What role do the Nameless Mountain kobolds have in this? Are they the dragon's faithful servants, or do they fear him as much as everyone else?-What did Uriza the Solemn do during Old Black's last flight?</blockquote>
