L25.310 Kiln-thumb, Sil-Uru the Learned - Part 1

-

Sil-Uru was one of the Lieutenants of the Throne of Clay, during the 5th Heroic Age of Ninur-Sin, bearing the title of Kiln-thumb - the highest among the Kilnfingers of Clay.

Known for his heavy investments in scholarly pursuits and commissioning several academies throughout the domain of the Clay Throne - most notably the Grand Library of Galgatemen, Imin-Gishur the Academy of Engineering, and Umma-ummus the Academy of Decorum.

Sil-Uru was born a noble of Ushga Tribe and was quickly identified as posessing literary and mathematical talent from a very young age and was involved in clinching several important deals in trade and construction businesses of his noble tribe.

He became a Kilnfinger at the age of 28 by recommendation of his Uncle Kansh-Ukkin of the Tudtu Tribe, who was the Kiln-Index at the time, and due to his eloquence, and humility which impressed the other senior Kilnfingers who saw him primarily as a means to influence the Ushga Tribe which they felt somewhat threatened by due to its rapid growth.

-
An extremely windy mountain range. Small creatures with inadequate footing may be blown off balance. Occasionally one hears the croaking chorus of distant herds of wooly toads and the cawing of crafty Crowdragons who roost and nest in the shadow of the dark blue peaks the cut the welkin like a jagged wound. The terrain is extremely steep and precarious. It takes 3 days to cross the mountain range on foot with adequate mountain gear. Experienced riders of mountain goats may take 2 days.

The Manticore Belfries... Home to madmen breeding bloodthirsty manticores. The promise of treasure is great. That - I'll admit. But I'd stay clear of that place if I were you... Unless you are a madman yourself, or enjoy the feeling of spines piercing your flesh. Wastetreader Dykstra A cluster of 200ft tall tapered towers made of alabaster bricks topped with a bulbous cage that serve as belfries for manticores. The towers are connected to one another via 100ft wide cliffside tunnels open to one side, held up by rock-hewn pillars fixed with sconces. These partially open tunnels snake around the edges of the cliff, connecting the Greater East Wall to the north and the Lesser Wall to the south. At the foot of each of the towers are fortifications accessible through a thick iron gate, staffed with a platoon of undead soldiers. They will not attack unless provoked. The towers are all 6 levels high, and access to each level is allowed through a large spiral staircase t...

A soaring terraced tuya made of dark rocks, caked in powdery snow stepping upwards erratically up above the clouds. It's height is only second to the tall pillar of ice that is Trathulin's Tide, which can be seen from above the clouds on top of some of the taller terraces, where cones of limestone with tips of glass can be found - ancient observatories watching the stars. Travel across the land is difficult, requiring 3 days on foot, and 2 days when riding a mountain goat. Encounters Roll Encounter 1 Courier of the Astrologers. An undead Astrologer Mummy riding a Psionic Goat. They often carry messages and gifts sent between the few ancient astrologers that still gaze the stars to this day. They ride extremely quickly and will try to avoid being followed as best as they can unless one bears the badge of an astrologer. When acquainted, they may offer directions if it is within their knowledge. 2 Observatory pyramid. Roll 1d6 , on a 1 the pyramid is decent cond...
