Anmur'theileian

The Anmur'theileian is a fortress built by the elves in the Evressai Steppes, unfortunately on top of a mountain sacred to the Nazhmorhathveras. The Nazhmorhathveras called it Memory of Death and Carrion-Bones.

Description
The name “Carrion-Bones” is because it was where the Nazhmorhathveras would expose their dead to the elements and predators.

The old Nazhmorhathveras rite of passage into adulthood was to spend three days and three nights atop the rock with the dead.

The Anmur'theilian has been under siege since before it was built. The fortress was "built on a great outcropping of rock" that provides "both vantage and defense", which are otherwise hard to come by in the area. Verer Orthema has no confirmation but suspects that the builders may have even known about the religious importance of the site to the Nazhmorhathveras when the elves were building the fortress, and likely didn't care if they did know.

There is debate in the Untheileneise Court about returning the site to the Nazhmorhathveras due to the belief that it would concede defeat, and that concession might endanger the towns of the badlands.
