 +====Densahl’s Challenge====
  
 Every day on the Plain of Ida, warriors and champions test themselves and their prowess in contests of skill and martial cunning. ​ One of the most famous of these is known as Densahl’s Challenge - a rocky Tor that sticks out of the grassy field, it stands about 20 feet tall and is made of rose-colored stone very similar to granite. ​ The challenge(started by a drunken dwarf named Densahl who was annoyed that it was in his way) is to see who can knock the biggest piece of rock off the top of the Tor with a sledgehammer. ​ The current record is held by Kord himself, who broke off a boulder the size of a workhouse. No matter how much is broken off, the next day the tor is recovered back to its full size. Every day on the Plain of Ida, warriors and champions test themselves and their prowess in contests of skill and martial cunning. ​ One of the most famous of these is known as Densahl’s Challenge - a rocky Tor that sticks out of the grassy field, it stands about 20 feet tall and is made of rose-colored stone very similar to granite. ​ The challenge(started by a drunken dwarf named Densahl who was annoyed that it was in his way) is to see who can knock the biggest piece of rock off the top of the Tor with a sledgehammer. ​ The current record is held by Kord himself, who broke off a boulder the size of a workhouse.
