In 1689 HE, prospectors out of Gúra found iron and platinum in these hills. Over the centuries that followed, the Toomrur used slave labor, mostly goblins and hobgoblins, making these mines deep and expansive. Along with putting Gúra on the map, a wealthy city-state by the start of the First Epoch, it also brought corruption, conflict, and banditry.
In the First Epoch, an Ogre Lord named Eneriyes captured these hills. After driving Gúra's forces south, then to the very gates of the the enemy's capital, the demands of Eneriyes were agreed to. All of Gudrall, including its people, became property of the area's new Ogre Lord. Eneriyes put these people to work, building the lake citadel of Dumugon, protecting her interests and serving as a palace by day, and drug-induced orgies by night.
In the Second Epoch, the Orchish Empire looked east, putting their cross-hairs on the area's resources, both those of Gudrall and the northern hills of Branchard. Then under the watch of the city-state of Dumugon, the hills and city changed hands many times in the First Ogre War (1505 - 1511).
In the Crimson Offensive (1804 - 1810), with siege lines heading towards Norgtrum, thousands of skeletons and shattered war implements were added to Gudrall's war-torn hills.
