Ter Aaldenbur

Ter Aaldenbur
Ter Aaldenbur is the name of the Dwarven Alliance, as well as the Tower standing in the center of the basin. Ter Aaldenburd means "The Old Mountain" in Dwarven.

History
The Basin of Ter Aaldenur was founded by Kuta and Terro, the first dwarves, in the Dwarven Year of 78 AD. It was completely colonized by 112 AD. The couple was wrought with grief after the loss of their two sons, and passed away in 113 AD. Torag returned their bodies to the earth and from their corpses, brought up the three mountains known today as Ter, Nur, and Sur Aaldenbur.

The Kobold Invasion
After the betrayal by Yimir Barkun in 1888 AS, the kobolds, drow, dueregar, and the dragon Barunan invaded the basin, swoing chaos and destruction in their wake. They attempted to destroy the mountain, but due to divine intervention from Torag, the mountain stood, and with the help of the Orcs and Half Elves, the monsters were repelled and the basin was safe. Unfortunately, Ter Aaldenbur was damaged and had to be recarved to withstand the weight within. The reconstruction was completed in 2067 AB.
