==The Candle==
A great mound of earth, covered by grass. Legend says it's a burial mound, left over from the Old Folk. A stone pillar sticking out of the ground, some one hundred feet high. It's visible for some distance. Thing's some kind of natural formation, about three, four hundred feet in diameter. Looks like a big fat candle stuck in the ground. Anyways, there's some caves and tunnels in there, mostly natural, I think, but worked over the years. The ogres lair in there. You're going to want to be careful of the approach, though, since the ogre chief is smart enough to put watchers up on top of the Candle.  There is a water source within the Candle.

Historians believe it to have been a location of some ritual significance; later, human sources mention that a portal to Faerie can be found within its corridors. Whether or not this is the reason the mecistop established the outpost is unknown. In more recent history the Candle was used as a fortress by the various human empires and kingdoms that have sprung up on the plains, the last known one being the Ferann Kingdom some four Cycles ago. The Candle was also the home of one Waruvell the Wise, a wizard of some repute during the Third Cycle. There are tales of the top floor containing some sort of mechanism that controls various functions through the rest of the butte.
