CHAPTER 7
VALBRYN
MORLYDD
Illus. by J. Hodgson
Gilgirn (Fiery Mountainhold)
other three fire giants who live in each tower are on duty
elsewhere around Gilgirn.
The guards rotate their locations approximately every 8
hours. If an alarm sounds, the fire giants on duty around
the complex are the first to respond, followed by the training
fire giants 1 round later, followed by the resting fire
giants 1 round after that. The fire giant that stands atop
each tower holds his position and directs the others to any
perceived disturbances.
On the first floor of each tower, the guards keep their
armor, weapons, an extra bunk bed, and two strongboxes
for personal storage. The second floor features three sets of
bunk beds, a table and chairs, and six strongboxes.

3. Southwest Tower: The southwest tower contains a basement,
three levels, and a lookout. The basement is a dungeon
for prisoners. The first floor is a hell hound kennel where the
fire giant stablehand works. The second and third floors are
split into four private bedrooms for the Urdred.
The fire giant stablehand defends himself if attacked, but
otherwise avoids conflict.
