Manor of Elsend Trawl

Some hundred years ago, an eccentric gnome with a large fortune decided to build a manor in the Ashkeeper Peaks in order to better understand and commune with the nature of the mountains. This gnome, Elsend Trawl, quickly learned that he was not welcome in the harsh environment of his new mountain home, even with the fences and buttresses and stone walls he built. However, Elsend Trawl was not a wise way, just a rich one. He was convinced that these attacks from the monstrous inhabitants of the Peaks were not responses to an interloper in their territory, but enemies of his fortune, seeking to destroy him. In the end, his paranoia and madness were his only companions as he retreated within, just to die in the environment he was so interested to explore.

For years, the manor has fallen into ruin, used only as an encampment for explorers and travelers deep into the Peaks, but now, with suspicions that the capitol of the Kryn Dynasty is hidden within the mountain range, the Righteous Brand has outfitted the ruin as an outpost to run their continued investigations out of.
