Morgur's Mound

Morgur's Mound was the ancestor mound of the Thunderbeast tribe of the Uthgardt.

Description
Atop the mound was the skeleton of a long-dead dinosaur, known as a "thunderbeast" by the Uthgardt. The wizard Amelior Amanitas speculated that this skeleton was likely that of a brontosaurus. Enormous cairns encircled the mound out to a quarter mile, housing the bones of revered warriors of the tribe.

History
When the Thunderbeasts visited the mound for Runemeet in the late 15-century DR, they found that the mound had been dug up, both skeletons and the treasure within stolen. This theft was committed by the Red Wizards of Thay, who took the bones back to their nearby Dread Ring and animated them.

Rumors & Legends
Morgur's Mound was believed to be the burial site of Morgur, Uthgar's mortal brother.

Rumors claimed that Thunderbeast shamans could animate the skeleton atop the mound whenever their tribe was in dire need of protection.

Superstitious members of the tribe often buried magical items within the mound, believing they would be watched over by the spirits of the dead.
