Early this morning, the adventurers were roused from their bed (aye, bed, singular � the entire group shared but one of the giants� beds, each finding himself with more room than he�d ever had before to sleep stretched out) and brought before the giant king, Tormax.
His throne, they were told, was crafted from the skull remains of the dragon, Hsagra, mate to Yelinak, who was slain by their ancestor,
Porlos. The seat of the throne itself lies within the jaws of the dragon�s skull. The party was honored with this tale of the giants� history, and also learned that the arena in which they had observed battle is also dedicated to Porlos.
The current throne room, we�re told, is a relatively new addition to the castle, which is known as Dragon Death Keep. The party, after paying homage to King Tormax, was escorted through the castle. Behind the throne, they were shown the hall of the council, within which was a second, older and less ornate, throne. This, they were told, was the old throne room, and serves now, as a meeting room for King
Tormax and his council. The king�s advisors were gathered to welcome the party.

It has been the site of many great battles, for the dragons of Velious regard the Scars of Veeshan as the holiest of ground, and view the giant's invasion of the Great Scar as sacrilege.
