When Orlanth departed upon the Lightbringers Quest, his journey began at this hill. It is also the place where Harmast Barefoot departed upon his Lightbringers Quest.
The hill is on Culbrean territory, though I suppose it is of religious and magical importance to every Orlanthi.
In 1613 Euglyptus the Fat (1602-1613) sent an army of
4,000 veteran soldiers to provoke the rebels led by
Kallyr Starbrow, by pillaging the Hill. The
expeditionary forces were destroyed in an ambush, or
died fleeing towards the support army.

I have never heard or read anything about a spiralling pathway. There may be one anyway, of course ;-), but aren't you thinking about Stormwalk mountain?
