Pillars of Durman/Towers of Durman

Steel Realms
Pillars of Durman sits on both sides of the mouth of the river, a massive split plinth with the river running through it. The “Gateway to the Kingdom of Gladnor” it is commonly called. The male figure has a strange blemish at its base.

The two pieces of stone have some property that prevents them from collapsing under their own weight, allowing them to be carved into shapes that would normally break.

It is said the plinth was a spike driven into the river to cut off water to Oerdney when it was just a rallying point for the forces opposing The Unholy Trio, dropped by one of the dark gods. The earth was eventually split open by the Lightbringers and powers of the Wyld, cracking the plinth, separating it into two and reversing a massive flood happening because of it.

Scarce Knowledge / Hard Difficulty

The blemish on the male figure is a Frost-Melded Icescapes from the Dragon of Rhyl that chased enemies to the pillars. They took refuge behind them and the dragon flew in a circle, creating a blemish around the entire base.

Rare Knowledge / Very Hard Difficulty

It was Nakrians that had come far north and we exploring the northern area, they angered the Dragon of Rhyl by their excursion and blasted them with its breath, creating the blemish on the male figure around the entire base.
