An ancient war tower planted in the side of a mountain. It lies in the North-centre of the Withered Heath and is known for the huge network of catacombs inside it. The site is famous for being where Polmar Macebearer, the first wielder of Korlan and the ancestor of Farnin IV Macebearer fought the young dragon Bursk the Ashen and died, slaying the other dragon in the process. It has also appeared in the story Shadows Clash where it is the battleground for Daechir, Guruthos and Sorthog.
