In the forty-fourth year of this Age, Warlord Remshour defeated the Kemindûl at the battle of Trênswân, and so claimed the Black Fingered Pool known as the Sundial of Teremhôst. Here he claimed his own greatness, beneath the lightning skies of thunderheads, and claimed the greatness and anger of the Storm’s Eye, that there was no longer an eye, but all storm. The priests of Mônvêur came and pronounced his words. The priests of Gîhon came and pronounced his words. On the twelfth day of the twelfth month the high sun came and the Black Finger pointed its shadow crooked into the lands of the barbarian kings.

And the priests prayed, and the Oracle of Menzên declared the Stone of Emf-hul found in the Temple of the Great Rift, and her visions would lead their way. Four armies came, and four armies remained, four kings unconvinced.

Remshour rode at the head of his army with holy lightning and lava-forged hammer in hand, and smote the barbarian horde of Mitêz. He smote the barbarian king Remîsh by his own hand and threw down their fortress city. He smote the gates of the city of Kîimor with lava-forged hammer and his army put every barbarian to the blade. He reached the Great Rift and met the armies of Hulumbor, and was smitten by the beauty of this king’s daughter, and her knife through his chin to exit his eye.

And Remshour’s armies were slaughtered, fled, or captured and enslaved. Remshour lived, one-eyed and chained above the gates of Hulumîsis, on his knees and pecked by birds until he died a prisoner and slave to the woman who became Queen of Hulumîsis. Decades of humiliation and agony later, he died. His flesh rotted. His bones remained. A warning above the gates to any who might try the power of the Hulumbor.
