Thoramunosh (Boltspumpkin) is the site of The Third Museum located in Kashiapap. It is the 20th castle built in Orid Xem. It was founded in the year 122 by Osda Mebas of Quogubpesor. It was taken by Abras Uzol of Mishthemdeduk in the year 138.
Sometime between that time and 198, Ducim Sokan of Adilatír made it its home, but in 198, the site was pillaged by Malladang. In 346, Malladang once again attacked a Ducim Sokan-held Thoramunosh and massacred the inhabitants. This was repeated in 445, 456 and 469. There were visitors between those times and 700, though the true claimant of the site is unknown.
In the year 700, it became the site of The Museum.
It is near the center of two volcanoes: to the north-west, The Hearth of Burials and to the south-east The Virtuous Rags. Rumor has it they have been used since the founding of the museum to dispose of ominous slabs of diverse materials.
Geography[]
The site is situated in Kashiapap. The castle walls sprawl horizontally. An interesting difference from other castles is that it incorporates a few hills, there being elevation differences between terrain in the interior of the castle walls. The only gates are to the north-west of the structure, while the museum, acting as unofficial keep, is on the south-east.
To the west there is Bekorbudo and to the east is Jasro Rithod, which splits and bridges the stream Stormportals. The body of water also cuts through Bekorbudo to the south-south-east of Thoramunosh. To the north lies Irneoxa.
Claimants[]
Thoramunosh was founded in the year 122 by Osda Mebas of Quogubpesor, but the group is ascribed as "defeated" in 138 by Mishthemdeduk. Ducim Sokan is first attested in 145, with the ascension of Besmar Isontulon to ringleader. The first attested presence of Ducim Sokan in Thoramunosh is in the year 170, as victim of "The rampage of Smug Bristlefocused the Carmine Intricacy in Boltspumpkin". With their survival until the present, it is known that it was not destroyed by the four major attacks of Malladang. After the last major attack of Malladang in 469, the next historical record of Ducim Sokan is in 534, in regards to "The rampage of Teme Bellweight the Dent of Glaciers in Boltspumpkin".
Thus, presently there remain five major claimants:
- Ducim Sokan, current holders of Thoramunosh, officially a "nomadic group" of
Adilatír, though implied to have always been an outlaw group and with little if any recognition from their parent civilization. - Quogubpesor, the original founder, though they have made no move for centuries to reclaim it.
- Mishthemdeduk, though they are waning and have not made major incursions for centuries; it is disputed if Abras Uzol is just a token group that never stayed after its first conquest.
- Malladang, though they had four chances to take it and either could not or would not. It is as likely that Malladang was more interested in whole-sale slaughter and plunder than actual conquest, attested by their few historical held territories.
- Adventurers of the Museum: though they come from various parts of the world, held together by their admiration for The Museum's purpose, they may well claim ownership of the site. Certainly Ducim Sokan continues to be ruled by Ngokang Gutngokang through their mercy alone. Many of the adventurers who make their way and retire in Thoramunosh are given barony titles in Ilrallenod. The implication of this move by Adilatír is currently unknown, if it has any ulterior motives at all.
