An mountainous area near Volfor, The Tumblepeaks contains many crags, peaks, canyons and areas of interest. A hideout of creatures and criminals, but also an area of beauty and history.
The hills in the Tumblepeaks don't so much as roll, as creep up behind you and push you over.—Kydanni Minoggui, Touring in the Republic: A Musicians Review

Marmorikroon
It's difficult to point out how to get there, but Marmorikroon is a stone circle, found within a treacherous region of the ‘peaks. Dating to the early crossing of the ‘peaks, the circle isn’t your usual grey-stone monolith circle, haphazardly dropped in place by unknown hands.
When you encounter the Marmorikroon (and, believe me, sooner or later you will) you’ll find the area that you’re in is… changed. The greyish-to-white crags of the crevice you’re picking your way through will give way, and you’ll notice that the stones colours are gradually leaching away until you encounter a smoother type of stone in the area. The area around the Marmorikroon seems bleached white, almost like the sun has never left the place. Or is it that the stones of the circle have infected the surrounding natural stone?
The stones themselves lie in a rough-hewn circle – some horizontal, some standing. They are comprised of a classic type of marble, pale white, yet at the same time earthy, with an ominous yet not threatening presence.
Scholars differ on whether it’s a larger or small circle; indeed from the few maps of the place one hasn’t been included here because… Well, to be honest, no two seem to be the same. Whether people are a bit slapdash or there’s something not quite right here, you can swear until you’re blue in the face that you KNOW where the stones were positioned, yet next time… you must have been mistaken, they’re lying a different way.
And the stones themselves? If you look closely at them, there’s something not quite right in the way they’ve been positioned.
Many who have visited has described the sense of peace and quiet that descends on you as you pass through the Marmorikroon. The air here smells even purer than other areas in the Tumblepeaks, a kind of deep almost sea-like clean. It’s almost like if one went to sleep here, one would have the most peaceful and relaxing sleep ever.
