      |  Mithril Hall's creation is, like many other Realms of Despair, |
      |  rooted to Vl'Arescht's whim. Long ago, the Lord of Darkness    |
      |  created a shadow dragon, which he named Shimmergloom, who      |
      |  unleashed havoc upon the races of Light. The fearsome beast,   |
      |  aided by mighty shadow hounds and dread clerics, brought about |
      |  thirty years of pain and sorrow. It was then that the          |
      |  legendary Daskyn arose. This heroic man, whose name will be    |
      |  forever remembered in song, drove back the dragon, tracking it |
      |  back to its lair in Garum's Gorge. There, the hero magically   |
      |  sealed Shimmergloom in it's lair, unable to kill it as         |
      |  Vl'arescht had blessed it with eternal life. The dragon's rage |
      |  was unending however, and it summoned forth a torrent of       |
      |  servants, sending them to destroy the peaceful settlements     |
      |  nearby. Our good King Welmar dispatched a legion of dwarven    |
      |  berserkers to end this shadowy obstacle. With the aid of the   |
      |  human Cattie-Brie, the dark elf Drizzt Do'Urden, the barbarian |
      |  Wulfgar and many others, the keep of Mithril Hall was founded, |
      |  resting near the steep cliff face of Garum's Gorge. The        |
      |  battleragers of the keep maintain a vigilant guard, ensuring   |
      |  that the followers of Shimmergloom shall never arise from the  |
      |  canyon.                                                        |

      |                                                                 |
