== History == | |||
The original Grymforge fortress was built in an unknown age by a group of Sharran followers. Those Sharrans used the fortress for approximately eight hundred years, after which it was abandoned. Grymforge was not re-inhabited until [[Ketheric Thorm]]'s [[Dark Justiciar]] army were brought in to rebuild it. {{cite text|Grymforge: A History|Unknown Justiciar}} | |||
After this, the Grymforge served as a base of operations for Ketheric and his Justiciars. Among these Sharrans was Silouv Yali, a gnome well known for his wizarding talents. Yali guided the Sharrans in building the [[Adamantine Forge (Location)|Adamantine Forge]], which was able to heat mithral to great enough temperatures to forge adamantine. As well, he conjured [[Grym]], a construct who protects the forge. {{cite text|The Great Furnace of Grymforge|Unknown}} | |||
While Ketheric's forces worked to destroy Reithwin and it's surround's Selûnite population, a Selûnite resistance lead by [[Infernal Mason|Mordfred]] worked to oppose him. The Justiciars proved too strong however, forcing Mordfred to make a bargain with [[Raphael]] in desperation; destroy the Justiciars in return for his soul.{{cite text|Mason's Log|[[Infernal Mason]]}} | |||
Raphael sent the orthon [[Yurgir]] and his [[Merregon Legionnaire|merrigons]] to the Grymforge. Yugrir smashed through the cities walls, leaving behind hellish glass. {{ref|Dialogue with [[Stonemason Kith]]}} Together, he and his merregons wiped out the Justiciar Presence. While Yurgir and most of his legion left to remove the Justiciars in other bases, some merregons remained in the Grymforge. | |||
