Heliu's Folly
Heliu's Folly was one of the westernmost fortresses of the defensive line known as the Sunwall in the Hold of Belkzen.1
History
A mercurial and ambitious Lastwall captain named Waren Heliu used the keep as his personal magical laboratory. Heliu was a summoner who specialized in fire magic and summoning, and summoned and bound a massive thoqqua, an intelligent worm-like creature from the Plane of Fire. He kept it hidden in a subbasement of the keep but overestimated his ability to control the creature. The thoqqua escaped its wards and began a fire that consumed the keep in flames. Heliu was discharged from the Lastwall military and the ruined keep became known as Heliu's Folly.1
Orc usage
Since the fall of the Sunwall in 4237 AR,2 several orc tribes have occupied the keep. As of 4715 AR it was the base of operations of the Broken Spine tribe.1
Recent history
The thoqqua that Heliu summoned returned to the subbasement under the keep a few years ago. It was in a dormant, reproductive state in 4715 AR.1
