AT A GLANCE: Once in the years before 
even the elves lived in the north, this 
was an extinct volcano, but has with the 
passage of the winters become little 
more than a hill with a cup-like peak.  Its 
sides are covered with soft, shiny grass, 
and only the occasional outcropping of 
hardened lava or a scattering of obsidian 
chips belies its true origin.  

ELMINSTER'S NOTES: The slopes of 
this grass-cloaked peak were home to 
an armed camp at the Time of the Battle 
of the Bones (q.v.) and it was here that 
the armies of men raised standards and 
tended their wounded.  In 
more recent times, the peak has been 
used by rogue spell-casters as a 
meeting-place, and by the Heirophant <sp> 
Druid Pheszeltan (see FORGOTTEN FOREST) 
to work mighty weather magicks.  
Today the Hill is empty, SAVE for the 
Haunts (spirits of the fallen men) and 
tribes of goblin races. 

Somewhere on the Hill of Lost Souls is 
the tomb of Thelarn "Swifthammer," 
son of Mongoth.  This dwarven adventurer 
is said to lie entombed with a 
hammer of thunderbolts and a weapon 
called Skysplitter, an intelligent war axe 
that has the ability to call lightning, as 
well as much gold.  The Tomb of Thelarn 
has not been uncovereed, and at 
least 1 group of adventurers, the 
Men of the Blue Blade, have met their 
end at the hands of orc bands while 
looking for it.
