Ashhold

Ashhold was an ash giant citadel in the Black Ash Plain. The citadel's fortifications were entirely natural and consisted of huge basalt pillars with lava pits and flows.

History
Ashhold was considered a holy land by ash giants, and thus a neutral ground between their tribes.

In 1479 DR, the green dragon Skuthosiin took control of the citadel and used its influence to control the ash giants tribes, and launched a campaign to conquer former Untheric lands, including Tymanther. After the wizard Biri uncovered Skuthosiin as the true mastermind of the giants, Vanquisher Tarhun ordered a joint military operation with all the tymatheran military forces, and led a siege to Ashhold. In the ensuing battle, the dragonborn killed Skuthosiin, ending the giant threat to Tymanther.
