Samsur
From 11-02-1999
The Gharu'ndim began to appear in Dereth soon after Elysa and Thorsten freed their people from enslavement by the Olthoi. One of the first of their number was Musansayn, a minor noble who became the effective leader of his countrymen in this new land. He made peace with the Aluvians, arranging for his folk to settle the lands west of the Falamar Hills. Samsur was the first permanent town built under his rule on the Yushad Ridge. It now lies at the heart of the Gharu'ndim lands, with roads leading both north and south and into the sandy reaches of the A'mun Desert.
Points of Interest
- The Fountain of Musansayn was crafted in the midst of Samsur five years ago, after the great leader wandered into the desert and vanished. Some say he died there, while others claim he will return one day and reveal himself to his people in time of need.
- A majestic dungeon of serpentine stone lies beneath one of the mesas just beyond town. Once a rich Empyrean manor house, its splendor has faded with the passage of time and the depredations of the Drudges and Shreth who have made it their lair.
