Ixy, on request of the Knowledge (Local), Tha'ael can find the following in a short search:<br/><br/><em>"Kalem-Vor was built by dwarves and humans. It was supposed to stand as part of the defense against the untamed lands, and was originally built so it would be able to stand against a siege. It was lost when Mortanius' lackeys found a way to poison the place from within, and brought ruin to the brave defenders by trickery and deceit."<br/><br/>"Kalem-Vor was an important place for Mortanius. Close to the great city and built to last, it was a location where his army gathered before marching forth. Its said Mortanius spent weeks there before advancing, searching for something buried deep within the place. Since then, the place has been attacked several times in attempt to first reclaim, and then to destroy it. These days, the walls are ruined and the towers collapsed, but the great vaults beneath the ground still run deep."<br/><br/>"The old maps of the place are of little use since Mortanius made sure that his forces changed the place to his liking, seemign to consider it a good fall-back position in case he wasn't successful in his first push towards the capital. However, given the extent of his wounds Mortanius had to flee far further, and in that time many of his old plans may have had to been abandoned, and many of his preparations left to rot. The old maps of the ground above are of no use, but a map of the old vaults may at least provide some clues."<br/><br/>On that note, the group would have the map from the mentor that gives some idea of the surrounding, but Tha'ael was able to find old maps about the Fortress from back before it was ruined. Given their messy state though, and their age, its questionable if they can be of use anymore. <br/></em>
