This capital is foudn nestled in the highest regions of the area, where the mountain peaks begin to break the clouds and the air is deadly thin. This ancient structure was built by the giant-kin progenitors to the Goliaths, who used their massive size to make awe-inspiring structures of a monumental scale. The Goliaths found this abandoned sprawling ruin almost 500 years ago, and repopulated it as travelling nomads, moving within the halls massive areas in small groups and family tribes. Now, Irus-Halls houses many thousands of Goliaths, who have adapted the gigantic open spaces to their own needs. This settlement is the heart of all Goliath culture, with the far flung Edarian Goliaths of the Andaganges Mountains making rare but important pilgrimages here. It's precise location is a little-known fact beyond the confines of the Goliath race, with its positioning creating many tough natural barriers to exploration from outsiders. The Halls are signposted by the massive Torches of Guggan, which although unlit for many centuries, show the scale and power of the ancient giant races that built the Irus-Halls. Irus-Halls is found within the shadow of Golk-ah, the largest mountain on the surface of Gryth in terms of height from sea level. This mountain, towering above even the surrounding mountains, is completely beyond exploration, as the air at its peak is -70 degrees and so thin that a few minutes of exposure would leave most races unconscious. The Goliaths however, make regular pilgrimages close to the peak as part of their coming-of-age rituals, as their bodies are extremely adapted to cold and thin air. ![[Pasted image 20260114000906.png]] ![[Pasted image 20260114000913.png]]
