Ascal's Horn

Ascal's Horn was a jutting natural peak in the northeastern edge of High Forest, in an area known as the Upvale.

Geography
Ascal's Horn laid along a bend in the Ascal Stream, later known as Skull Stream, the westernmost source river of the more prominent Delimbiyr River.

History
Around the year -4500 DR, when Ascal's Horn was merely a volcanic crag, the seven remaining members of the demon-corrupted House Dlardrageth took shelter within its series of caves. A dozen High Mages from Arcorar, alongside the heirs of Rystall Wood and Jhyrennstar, had managed to track them down. A battle ensued, leading to the death of four of House Dlardrageth's members. The High Mages used stasis magic to seal the rest of the survivors within these caves.

In the, the Eaerlanni elves founded the fortress town of Ascal's Horn, which would later come to be known as Hellgate Keep, from which the peak's name was eventually derived. Though some claimed that the peak was already named Ascal's Horn prior to this and that the settlement had derived its name from the peak itself.
