Common Year 1139, nearly two hundred years ago, that would be during the time of Tender Anegar.  A particularly tumultuous time when the River Lords were cementing their dominion..."He leads you off down a cramped side passage lined with shelves sagging beneath the weight of tomes.  Finally, he pulls one from the shelf and leads you all to a small study where he spreads out the massive book and begins flipping through it.  Oddly, Aquos seems to be able to carry on with his historical lecture of the times and search the tome at the same time.  Eventually he comes to information of interest and relevant to your questions."Ah, the Sul Gulden: a rocky mountain range east-southeast of here, still a wilderness claimed by small, warring settlements.  Mostly goblinoids and humans.  Suprisingly high; the mountains, not the humans, although I pass no judgement on their religious practices, ha ha!And the three crones you spoke of are not beings per se but a certain mountain located here with three distinct-looking peaks."  He flips a page and jabs a finger down at a map of the area.  "And here is the settlement called 'Rakka'.  Not a people at all, but the name of their fortress-town.  I suppose, however, that it's citizens might name themselves 'Rakka' or Rakkan or Rakkene.  Couldn't say as I've never spoken with a native.  If you discover the truth of the matter I would certainly like to make an addendum with the correct manner of address in our records.And speaking of records, I have no particular record of this fortress Khuldun but if it is within traveling distance of Rakka I would put my bets on the slopes of the Three Crones.Vadin Ser is an interesting figure.  Some sort of noble dwarven bloodline.  Quite the local hero.  He traveled extensively on his quest and brought much riches back to Gist; helped establish the city as the trade hub it is today.  We really should put a statue of him in the city center.  Sad that he never fulfilled his quest.  I would be quite happy to provide you with maps, such as we have of the Sul Gulden mountains, in return for a report of your findings, if you find anything."With the information Aquos has already provided and the promised maps, you all think you could navigate the mountains to the supposed location of the lost fortress.<a href="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/38/tiefling1small.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/3217/tiefling1small.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></a>-Aquos the Sage-</blockquote>
