FROM THE ALBUM
"WHAT THE DRAGON HEARD"
Annils Norgerinth (236-212
b.S.) was a hero of the ancient
Avennorians, respectively of the region of the current village of Nepris (Nehlan in former times) in the
eastern Santharian province of Manthria. Norgerinth was a simple
fisherman, who proved his courage in the last year of his young life when he led
the inhabitants of the smaller fishing villages east of the Mithral Mountains against an
advance guard of the orcish army during the
Third Sarvonian War. With the means he could gather, Norgerinth successfully
defended Crazy Woman Pass against
the invaders till support from the 7th royal division of the Avennorians arrived
to repel the orcs and to re-conquer already lost
territory. Tough the battle at Crazy Woman Pass
was only a minor one during SW III, it was crucial for the survival of
the fishing villages near the Adanian coast. Therefore Norgerinth is still
celebrated as a local hero. His remains rest in a tomb hewn in stone by the Mitharim dwarves of the Mithral, only a small distance
away from Crazy Woman Pass and near
the Toran Falls.
