Hill of Okhtar (Torrune)

The Hill of Okhtar or Okhtar's Hill is one of the five hills that lie within the walls of Torrune; like the others, with the exception of the Syrennian Hill, it is located in the High City. It lies east of the Temple Hill and southwest of the Hart's Hill, separated from the latter by the Tirasval.  
The Hill of Okhtar is almost entirely occupied by the Blue Pearl Palace, the lordly residence of Torrune's archon and the seat of his household and archonal court. For this reason, it is also often called the Lord's Hill or the Archon's Hill, or the Palace Hill. It may sometimes be called by the name of the reigning archon as well; thus people in the present day will call it Sulon's Hill or the Hill or Sulon according to the name of the current archon, whereas in the days of his father before him they would have called it the Hill of Trondero, and so forth.  
The name of Hill of Okhtar originates with the same local legend that also gives the Hart's Hill and the Tirasval their names. This tale holds that in the anarchic days after the Great Cataclysm, when the Qossite entrepot where Torrune now stands had been abandoned but before the Asgali Empire yet arose in the Taefemach, a bandit chieftain (and perhaps, some say, a devotee of Qadira) called Okhtar XXXXXXX habitually made his camp atop the hill now named after him. Rising at dawn, the tale relates, he often saw a white hart among the trees on the summit of what is now named the Hart's Hill. Taking his long bow of yew, he shot an arrow at it each morning that he saw it, but although he was a masterful archer, his shot across the dell to the other hill always went wide. 
After many such attempts, he experienced a dream-vision just before waking, in which a voice emanating from clefts in the hill's stones commanded him to send his younger brother and right-hand man, Tir, across to the other hill just before dawn to flush the hart down the slope into the dell between them and thus provide an easier target. This done, he finally struck and felled the creature; but descending the hill to where the hart had fallen, he instead found Tir, pierced by his arrow, drawing a final breath. The grief-stricken Okhtar then carried Tir's body to the Helvander's bank and laid him down at the river's edge, cursing Qadira's name for her cruel trick. At that moment the form of the white stag burst forth from the river and dashed into the woods up the slope of the Hart's Hill. In the same instant, Tir's own body sprang back to life, ran into the water, and disappeared. He was never seen again and Okhtar, it is said, ever after forsook the site where Torrune now stands.
