Ogna

Ogna is the name of the hill upon which the city of Isgerdia, capitol of Korevna, was built. 
== History ==
When King Korev the Great and his men first arrived in what would later become Korevna, they noticed from a great distance a mighty hill rising from the plains. Upon inspecting it they found that one portion was a great stone cliff rising from the earth with a sloping earthen hill around it. Believing the hill impossible to have been created naturally, Korev called it “Ogna” meaning “place of giants”. 
After the Conquest of the North was completed in 2000 AE, Korev decided to build a fortification at Ogna from which to rule his new lands. This original fortification would be constructed on the lower hillside, spawning also a town, which would grow into a city eventually called Isgerdia. During his lifetime, King Korev created a temple to his household god, Hor, accidentally excavating into a mysterious sealed tomb. Later, this temple would be converted into the Chapel of St. Korev the Great in 972 AE. 
Ogna’s interior went largely unexplored until the late 500s AE, when work on a sewer system accidentally uncovered a vast network of tunnels within the hill. These chambers of Korevnan and pre-Northern Contact cultures became invaluable to archaeologists, who quickly took over the discoveries. By the 300s, local children would delve into the depths of the hill looking for treasure to sell in the city. Illicit parties, cult meetings, and criminal activities flourished within Ogna.
In the Current Era, much of the secret passages and chambers have been barred by the Crown in order to prevent further looting and destruction to what has been deemed culturally significant landmarks. Fleurian archaeological work was haunted in 114 CE at the start of the Two Years War.
== Description ==
Ogna is a hill in the center of the Korevnan plains near the river Vark. It is partially stone, with a peak of 541 feet above the surrounding area. Surrounding the dark cliff portion is a large hill which reaches 266 feet at its highest point and which is now believed to have been man made sometime before the arrival of the Korevnans. Currently the city of Isgerdia surmounts Ogna, nearly covering all but the sheerest cliff face upon which sits Castle Highcrest.
