The original reason I thought there might have been one hill instead of two was that I made a Pavis Monopoly board where players had to make Tenements and Palaces instead of Houses and Hotels. Since I was talking Golden Age (ie King's Villa not Pavis Temple etc I checked out what I thought those areas would have been called. (The Troll Stonglands were obviously called something else before the Occupation). The Twin Hills seemed an odd feature so I renamed it Magicians Hill. I then couldn't fathom a 'realistic' geographical reason for such an unusual feature (admittedly it may have seemed less unrealisted if the maps were not just simplified ridgeline) and wondered what might have caused it. It seemed to me the three most viable alternatives were that it was the work of Giants, of Dragons, or of Waha. If you think the Twin Hills is a perfectly reasonable feature then you do not need to have a reason for it, however I see no genuine reasons not to have such a history. There are many remarkable things in Pavis and this could have been just one of them that happened a long time ago.
