The Eorlingas: Search for Thrymm

History of Framburgh

Found: 1017 during the reign of Hyarmendacil, last of the Ship Kings.
It fell in ruin in 1717 hit by the plague and a harsh winter. 

Founder: Noruir  (fiery? Sunny?) Noruir raised Framburg fort to guard Wildermore from foul creatures infesting  the Misty Mountains. The area nearby was partly de-forested although the forest did not reach so close to the fort back then. As Framburgh fell in ruin, trees covered all the area close to it.

Last Ruler: Hithauran (man of the morning mist?)

​Geography:

Framburg is built on a plateau on top of the mountains. Access to the plateau was through a narrow passage between hills. A paved road followed by a white stone stairway was built to make access more easy. Heavy rocks have fallen from either side on  the passage in several locations making the old road inaccessible up until orcs created a way in between the rocks. Signs of fire can be recognized in some of them (roll general DC 70) At path leads from Framburg to the ridge of the mountains surrounding it. Garrisons were set around on top of the mountains though little evidence of those remain today but for the huge brazier that Thrymm once found. A way can now be found from the western side of Balewood, using a crude mechanism to get orcs up(some sort of a lift). The winding path that Thrymm used still exists leading to one of the garrison spots. The path requires quite a bit of climbing. The area around the castle might have once been the home of common folk. No obvious evidence of that remains now. The area around the castle seems deforested,  and no bird or animal dares to move near. The mist surrounding the castle makes gives the area a haunting feeling.
