=A Brief History of Cruach Emyn=
::  Gerard the Northsword, a long-ago lord of House Falon, founded Cruach Emyn more than fifteen hundred years ago near the site of a simple Dornish iron works. The outpost quickly attracted settlers and grew into a walled settlement. As the iron mine’s prominence grew, Steel Hill’s placement near the river Be’neeya proved perfectly suited for both defense and trade. The settlement grew from outpost to town to city, and House Falon enjoyed an upturn in its fortunes. Falon’s ascendance was not an easy one, and was set against a backdrop of many savage battles with the Shadow’s forces in the merciless north. Despite the clan’s heroism and sturdiness, however, it was eventually one of their own who destroyed them, betraying his kin and casting the Great House into darkness. The Shadow’s forces plundered the city, raped and murdered its people, and then enslaved the survivors; these were put to work in the mines to equip Jahzir’s war machine.
