[sblock]...around 2,000 years ago there was a reclusive wizard who called himself Lamont who built, or rather, summoned a massive tower of granite to serve as his base of operations. He had united the human tribes and formed them into a not informidable fighting force. Lamont drove the local orc tribes out of the area and claimed the lands for himself. He reigned as master of the Murkwook for almost 70 years before the expanding freehold of Khorl absorbed his lands and decimated his bloodline. Lamont was thought to have died then but, curiously, he and his Granite Tower are mentioned every few hundred years in passing; whether by official records or by rumor. The last mention you can remember of the Granite Tower was during the Goblin Wars, over 300 years ago when Lord Marshal Cary Falloway was said to have found "aide of a most sorcerous and foul kind from the tower of stone" to drive off a tribe of flintrock goblins after they'd killed over 1/2 of his militia. No further mention was made but it is curious that a tribe of well over 700 goblins should turn away and flee against a city militia of only 45 men.[/sblock]</blockquote>
