Editing Brightstone (section)

==History==
Brightstone Keep was originally built about seventy years ago as an outpost to house the miners from Karst who had begun to dig there. After a few years, however, it began to come under attack by the local orc, goblin, and troll tribes. Mining operations ceased almost entirely as the miners began to shift their efforts towards defense, but it was eventually overrun and taken over by an orcish warlord who used it as a staging ground for raids on Karst. They fought off several would-be adventurers who came to reclaim it, until [[Tol Sigurn]], [[Leardon Sunflare]], [[Justin Oakenleaf]], [[Prov Coren]], and [[Balon Stonehelm]] successfully infiltrated the keep and slew the warlord and most of his troops. As thanks, the mayor of Karst gifted the keep to the heroes, who decided to turn it into their base of operations. They hired a team of dwarves from [[Silverstone]] and reopened the mines. Over the course of the next few years, the keep was rebuilt almost entirely from scratch; very little of the original structure remains. It continued to serve as their home until they all went their separate ways shortly before the Deity War, but the dwarves continued to operate the mines under the direction of Prov, who elected to stay behind. Within the last five years a small town has sprung up around the keep, which is continuing to grow.
