Many years ago, one tribe (possibly halflings or gnomes, though it could have also been dwarves) came to posses somekind of powerful artifact. When other tribes heard of it, many wanted it for themselves, which of course resulted in a great number of hostilities and bloodshed between them. This time of discord culminated in a horrible battle that depleted many tribes of most of their warriors. And for nothing, since the artifact was lost, and the final battlefield cursed.

It is rumoured that the numerous slain warriors of humans, elves, halflings, orcs, gnolls and many others left there to rot and decay without proper burial never found true peace and still haunt the place.

Suojella refers to a mountainous area two days walk to the west. There are five high mountaintops, named after the four elements, the one extra simply called 'Fifth'. Some old myths refer to the mountains as elemental guardian spirits. Elves, orcs and dwarves are known to inhabit the area.

Two tribes of elves and three of orcs live in the area. The two races are on hostile terms, and the clans of the same race have weak alliances. Two dwarven tribes live higher and partly inside the mountains and are mostly indifferent about the others.

In addition, some winged humanoids are rumoured to live high up in the mountains, where members of the other races rarely ascend.

The story of elemental guardians is at least not entirely false. Elemental prophets dwell on these mountains, though the exact locations of their homes are not commonly known.

The oldest an most obscure tales claim that the mountains guard a great danger sealed within the Fifth mountain, though they are very inconsistent of its nature.
