Yep. Is that ok? ;)

Tha' sounds grand. So if I get this straight, Helamakt fights the sea beasties, raises up the mound of their bones so's that he can breathe and cause more carnage. The seas recede, and leave the now limestone tor behind. Elements of slain beasts can still be seen, and perhaps eve tortured scenes of his conflict are reflected in the marble (sorry, remembering an old Star Wars comic 20+ years ago). The rugged beauty of the place may then have been somewhat altered when a large giant's arm suddenly comes cartwheeling through the air and splatters over it. For those who like such things, this force blasts the tor into glistening marble, impregated by crystallised giants blood by those who like big shiny bits.
The inside of the tor can still have all the nice caves caverns and tunnels, wells and shafts and stuff, as it can easily still be limestone (not that this geology really matters, anyway). Now, the actual fortress may have been built from the marble, the limestone, Joerg's quartzite, my quartzite--THE BUUURNIN' SEEEED OF THE GAAAAAAWWDDS!--, or elements of Two Ridge Black Top, if you can avoid the diminutive motorcycle cop. Or whatever his Gloranthan version is.
Out of interest, given this paradigm, what exactly do we think any landscape daimon for the tor/hill might be?
Stu.
