This local landmark is a bare-topped,
conical hill that commands a splendid
view of the valley of the river Dessarin
to the east. This lookout has often been
used in times of trouble to watch for
advancing orc or barbarian tribes coming
down from the north and east. It is
named for the famous ranger Berun,
who met his end here at the hands of
such a horde. He failed to stop the orcs,
but slew over 300 singlehandedly
before he was overwhelmed. Bandits
watch here for the approach of likely
victims. Northern legend has it that a
dwarven tomb lies under the hill, rich
in golden armor and treasures, but
none has ever found it, and dwarves
know nothing more of it than legend.
