During the War of the Blank Shields, Lord Wymun Rosemurk and Lord Angbad Kulayn destroyed the fleeing army of Grief Eaters at the Battle of Howling Hills. Rosemurk crucified the surviving Grief Eaters along the coast of Dellforth upon posts set at every 500 meters; the ghastly display stretched for 160 kilometers. The remains of over three hundred mercenaries on crosses still dot the eastern coastline of Dellforth as a warning to all who would invade that realm.
