The ruins of this four-thousand-year-old stone manor belonged to the heroic dwarf warrior Ghaurin, the greatest son of the ancient Stoneheart clan. The few remaining stones of the manor known as Ghaurin’s Hold sit by the Fork—the juncture where Adbar Road and Fork Road meet in Old Delzoun. During millennia of adventuring, the Stoneheart clan had collected innumerable souvenirs, which it displayed in its ances¬tral mansion. Eventually, the hold became a sort of historical museum where travelers could go to see the legendary swords, axes, and armor worn and wielded by Dwarves and their enemies throughout time. In 882 DR, when fiends from Ascalhorn were devouring so much of the North, the Stoneheart clan stood firm and repelled the first demon onslaught. But the second demon assault was much more severe, and Dwarves fell by the score. When his entire clan lay dead around him and all seemed lost, Ghaurin called upon Moradin to preserve his ancestral home from the fiendish despoilers. Seemingly in answer to his prayer, a sudden earthquake collapsed the surface portion of the great mansion, crushing the invaders and sealing off the caverns below. Trapped below the rubble, Ghaurin was transformed into a sentient stone golem. In this new form, he closed off all the tunnels connecting his mansion to the Fardrimm. Since then, Ghaurin has tirelessly patrolled the myriad tunnels and cellars of his ancestral home, keeping them safe from intruders.
