The cavernous/stronghold home of Rubblebloom and her Stone Giants clan. It sits behind a ravine near the border of Fungal Hollows and Echoing Ravines (6 miles deep Underground).

The stronghold was founded when Stone Giants found the Staff of Peaks and Valleys ("Shovel") as well as the Primordial Shard of Earth. The shard drew the giants together, drawing reverence and worship around the shard the power they thought it contained. Additionally, the Staff of Peaks and Valleys ("Shovel") exemplified that power, with a similar but smaller Topaz in the top which enabled the giants to manipulate the stone and earth around them.

Areas

Topaz Bastion

Areas of the Keep:

  • South wall: 40 feet high, 20 feet thick. Looks out over the 30 foot wide and 400 foot deep ravine in front of the keep. A single 40 foot wide bridge spans the gap to the gron stone doors, which are massive and hinged with barricade apparatus inside.
  • West building: Training hall and armory, a large fighting pit populates the center of the room, with shelves and tables of giant arms and armor. Hanging on the wall above the fighting pit is the championship belt, created by the Stone Giants clan's predecessors and passed down to its warriors. This is a Belt of Stone Giant Strength adorned with the topaz shards of the Primordial Shard of Earth further within.
    • When occupied by Zeph'yrgai'arux, the fighting pit was outfitted with spears and spikes to hold the 3 Troll captives who served as the reusable source of their Troll hearts.
  • East building: Living quarters, common space. These giant bunks are layers of enormous hides adn leathers piled onto stone bed frames for each member of the clan.
  • North building: Great hall. This tall and long hall carved into the cavern wall extends hundreds of feet, with one large stone table and over 20 stone chairs surrounding it. A higher backed, more detailed carved stone chair sits at the end, facing the doors.
  • Behing the Great hall: a narrow cavern leads out the back of the Great Hall to the chamber known by the Giants as the Topaz Chamber. Inside is a Primordial Shard of Earth sitting int he center of a spherical area in the cave system. This room was here when the first stone giants found this place and the nearby Staff of Peaks and Valleys ("Shovel") (aka Shovel).
