Map of the Great Barrows

The Great Barrows of the Cairn Hills is yet another gravesite among many. Here, it is said, the lords of giantkind were laid to rest when they fell in battle against human “invaders” in this region centuries ago (likely the Suloise). Hill giants are often found here, fighting ferociously to defend their sacred ground. An unknown potent device or effect allows some giant-sized items to become magical for brief periods here, playing havoc with incautious attackers and tomb-looters. A curse rumored to have been laid on the barrows against treasure thieves is reliably reported to be of awful power and effect.
