Olhall

The seat of the King of Skuffhimmel, when entering Olhall a visitor is greeted with immense granite statues of the great dwarves that founded and defended this mountain kingdom: Gunter Verlassen the leader of the Undertaking, Adalgar the Devout, Skorm Bloodaxe, and Berowalt Son of Oldrick the Sapper. Olhall is also the ancestral home of the Order of Silverbeards, the warrior-priests of Skuffhimmel who served the kingdom in the name of Clangeddin Giantkiller. These devotees of the Father of Battle played a significant role in the founding of Skuffhimmel, and of Olhall specifically. It was their order who formed the backbone of the dwarven army who established and held the mountains and hills east of the Wyvernslair in the Age of Kings. It was also the Silverbeards who raced ahead of the dwarven host in 483 CE to assist Miriador in their most desperate hour. Under the leadership of Berowalt Sapperson, the Silverbeards may have been the deciding factor (along with the appearance of Valkyries) in the victory of Miriadorian forces over the marauding Baranian army. To this day, those dwarves killed in the Battle of the Eastfields lay in honor in the Dwarfcairns outside the Temple of Thrud on the banks of the Barleymeade River. Although outside the boundaries of Skuffhimmel, the Dwarfcairns remain one of the most holy sites to dwarves in the Northern Kingdoms and is especially important to the Silverbeards, who serve as its caretakers.
