Built thousands of years ago by the enslaved giants of the Thassilonian empire, the Storval Stairs are a set of stair-like tiers carved into the side of the western Storval Rise. Although sized for a gigantic creature, they are by far the easiest way to transverse the rise west of the Iron Peaks. It is not uncommon for the Storval Rise to reach heights of over 1,000 feet in many places, sharply delineating the fertile lowlands from the barren scrub land of the Storval Plateau. At the Storval Stairs, however, the Rise is only 400 feet in height with human-sized steps and ramps cut into the gargantuan ones, making the passage even easier. Immense statues of the runelord Karzoug flank the stairs, although the southern-most one is beginning to finally crumble due to erosion.
