Flint Rock
Town in The Savage Frontier
Flint Rock is the ancestral mound of the Elk tribe of the Uthgardt barbarians, a set of stone rings on an outcrop of flint at the edge of the Evermoors.
Rings of heaped stone cairns rise from a fog-shrouded outcrop of flint where nothing grows but moss, and grey standing stones keep watch over the central altar.

Overview
The Uthgardt are the barbarian tribes of the North, each named after its totem animal and each keeping an ancestral mound: a sacred site where its dead are honoured and its rites are held.
Flint Rock lies in the hills at the south-western edge of the Evermoors, roughly east of Longsaddle. Unlike most mounds it is built of heaped stones rather than earth: rings of cairns holding the tribe's greatest champions, standing stones at the four points of the compass and a central altar mound, laid out so that from above the inner vale looks like a leaping elk. Our map marks it as a town, but it is a holy place.
