Barakmordin

Barakmordin, or the Shielding Mountains, was an abbey in Tethyr dedicated to the Triad: Torm, Ilmater, and Tyr.
==Geography==
It was located at an intersection of the Ithal Road, right where it split to lead either to Ithal Pass or Saradush.
==Description==
The abbey had three corner towers, each one with a temple dedicated to one of its three deities. The other buildings of the abbey, including the central keep, were devoted to the collective worship of the Triad.
==History==
Barakmordin was founded in the Year of Ten Atonements, 839 DR, during the reign of King Samyte of Tethyr. The original incarnation of the abbey was a shrine for Torm, with partial fortifications and a garrison. The abbey was partially destroyed in the Year of the Ogre, 909 DR by a goblin horde from the Omlarandin Mountains. When the abbey was reconstructed, the three distinctive corner towers were added. A shrine to Ilmater was added in the Year of the Spawning, 1070 DR, as thanks for the Tormish abbey's loyalty to the Lions' Dynasty during a period of political turmoil. Further donations were made by King Alemander I, who funded the construction of outer walls and a large, central keep. A group of Tyrran paladins aided the abbey during a monster attack, proving their order's worth. In the Year of the Lean Purse, 1198 DR,Lands of Intrigue: Tethyr (p. 90) erroneously claims that this event occurred in "the Year of Three Faces, 1198 DR". 1198 DR is the Year of the Lean Purse; 1089 DR is the Year of Three Faces. It is unclear which year is intended. the abbey became dedicated to the Triad as a whole.
==Inhabitants==
The Knights Kuldar of Barakmordin, an organization of holy warriors devoted to the Triad, were based out of Barakmordin.
