Fross Hill

Also called The Mound, Fross Hill is the hill on which the city Yudenfros was built.

Creation
Fross hill was ordered to be built on the south side of the city by King Crawbald Axeworthy I, when he unrooted the last few members of the Drachobild Cult in a final raid of the sewers, and was designed to be a final resting place for the deceased members and items of the Cult. Its construction also gave the still-living members of the Cult a job and means of redemption. Yudenfros then spread upwards to the hill as it was an advantageous place to live with a beautiful view. Yuden Castle was re-constructed there later for many of the same reasons, with the added reason that it was more protected on a hill amid thousands of houses than alone on the lonely beaches and flats around the hill.

Prophesy
The Cruor Prophesy mentioned the Cult and the Hill in the line ‘And fanatics are turnéd from their graves in the mound’.

Cruor and the destruction of Yudenfros
The king Crawbald Axeworthy I made a mistake in appointing Cult members to build the hill, as they buried within it a secret: the egg of Cruor the green dragon. It was enchanted to hatch as soon as the blood of seventy-three Yudenfrosans was involuntarily shed within the confines of the South Vara, and for this, they appointed Maiden May, the chief Drachobildic dragon witch. This set into motion the hatching of Cruor, who subverted and later killed Crawbald Axeworthy XVII and took over the city and the minds of its inhabitants.
