	Loul visited the [[dwarven]] city of [[Rhakhaan]] where he commissioned the clan of dwarves known as the [[Granto'k]] to build a way up the mountain to his exacting specifications. At the top they also built a chamber at the precise location Loul had instructed. The way up the mountain was designed to both ward off the uninvited, and prevent machines of siege to being moved up the trail even with the best engineers. Further Loul had the trail built to be a one way trip and let it be known to those who would attempt to climb that they would not find getting back so easy. How Loul himself managed to get down is not clear.

	The conditions for recharging to be optimal required a conjunction of the great moon [[Liabo]] and its satellite [[Tilaok]] as viewed from the exact location of the major ~~energy~~ ~~flux~~. Unfortunately for Loul, this situation occured only once every four thousand years and lasted but a few brief moments. To overcome this inconvenience, the wizard warped the time continuum at the peak of the mountain such that the proper conditions would cycle many times a (normal) day. This warping caused the peak to be shrouded in a perpetual cloud. Another artifact was lost in the creation of this time dilation.

	For many years Loul continued his studies, aided by his new tool. But as fate would have it, Loul made a fatal miscalculation: [[Dragon]]s, although quite majestic, are very predictable creatures. It was not long before a great red variety happened along the only mountain for leagues. It was inevitable that the creature would find this a suitable home and in doing so ripped a mighty gash into the mountain and hollowed out a suitable cavern in which to rest.

	Loul determined that there were a few places where the ~~elemental~~ ~~energies~~ were strong enough to bleed into a magical item under the proper conditions.

The wizard managed to locate an ideal ~~energy~~ ~~flux~~, but was disappointed to find it was located several thousand feet in the air.
