Higgüffstllgr
Higgüffstllgr is the resting ground of long-extinct titans, where the fossilized remnants of unknown beasts jut from the snow and ice to pierce the sky above. It is an above ground boneyard, a necropolis of colossal proportions, where the remnants of a bygone era stand as a testament to the unfathomable power and mystery of a long-lost world.
Geography
Lying to the northeast of Wrothmïr, "The Petrified Citadel", as it is sometimes called, lies in the valley of Higgüs between the Káneggat and Tharros mountain ranges. The area is characterized by almost unbearable cold, and snow and ice so firm that it likely stretches far below the surface. The valley itself is barren and rocky, scarred by the remnants of a long-lost age. The exposed skeletons at Higgüffstllgr are entirely encapsulated by ice and will forever be a permanent fixture of the land.

Since the dawn of man, researchers have uncovered tantalizing fragments of Higgüffstllgr's past, speculating that the titanic remnants roamed the terra during a bygone era of unrelenting turmoil.

Truth be told - the history of Higgüffstllgr is utterly unknown, and formulated purely by eons of speculation and the guesswork of countless researchers. It was a wonderful display of modern ingenuity when one of the massive fossils was extracted and transported back to Wrothmïr, where it has since been mounted above the entryway to Skärl's Hjorn. Interested parties too timid to brave the frozen wastelands and trek to Higgüffstllgr marvel at the frozen fossil mounted to the tavern.
