I like fells, it has a vaguely sinister connotation to me at least.

The reason why the land is the way it is because after his big fight against the waves Helamakt was tired and he lay down for a rest. The plateau part was were his body lay and the Tor was where he rested his head. Shepherds can point to the dents in the plateau and tell you which part of his body made them. There's a small lake where his butt rested.

Legends swear that there used to the marks of his hair on the Tor but Sesartos is supposed to have erased most of them except the spot where he had a cowlick (a spiral patch of hair) which forms the floor of the Orlanthi temple.
