The Silverstine Clan

WIP. Not to be finished for quite some time.  R.L. is throwing me some amazing screwballs. Blessings, and with it, lots to do!  But! I have lots of eagerness to write this... so maybe that will balance out, and I'll find time soon? :P (6/6)

Summary

The Silverstine Clan is a long-standing and respected family native to Morcia, well-known for their mining operations throughout the Athelas (or Scary) Mountains.  Their ancestral home and current generation's residency is hewn directly out of the southernmost point of the Athelas Mountain Range. It's entrance is near the top, facing south, and overlooking the Plains.  A stone step path leads up and around the mountain in a long and wearying loop, with rest stops which are little more than large nooks in the rock along the path.  These are especially helpful when attempting the path in inclement weather, as there are many stretches where one side is the cliff face, and the other is open air.  In times such as those, the rest stops are veritable havens. 

The creator, or should I say, creators of this stronghold; this Keep, would be two ancient folks by the names of:

 'Sir Harris, Conquerer of the Scary Mountain's Heart, and his wife, Gertrude Stonesplitter, Woman of the Mountains'.

(to be edited. From my notes from years ago. :P )

"These people go down in history as the people who invented the "tough as nails" line.  Grandpa Harris could sleep on a rock, in his armor, and be no worse for wear the next day.   Gertrude didn't comprehend "Hot" or "Cold" Just "weather." When she got a sword from Harris, she learned to weild it properly the same day. "

"Harris was not an adventurer, not an explorer, not a blacksmith, not a quester, not a traveller, not a cartographer, not a author, a painter, a miner, a skeplunker, a knight, a baron, a hero, a villain, a soldier, a farmer, a commoner, a peasant, inventor, scientist, alchemist, guard, jeweller, woodsman, 

No. He was all of these."

"'How?' Do you ask, 'Could a minifigure be all of these in one life? How could he have the time to do them all?' My answer to you? He couldn't. Except for the fact that Sir Harris had an unnaturally long life. The same for his wife, Gertrude. The reasons for this are all ruomors, with no clear reason ever being told. And before he died of what appeared to be him finally reaching some new old age limit, Sir Harris assured that there would be no getting his near-immortal agelessness from him or his remains. Though that has not stopped some from searching...
