just added a conclusion. I was looking for a date for "the whispering cairn" to then back date the appearance of Kyuss- "He appeared more than a thousand years ago" so from 591 that makes it -409 Cy or 5107 SD |

The Whispering Cairn is a tomb complex at the edge of the Cairn Hills.
Description
"Within a day’s ride north of Diamond Lake, this cairn lies near an iron mine that went dry in about 545 CY[1]. [Its] charter lapsed when its owner (Ulgo Fant) died several years later.[1]
Unlike the Stirgenest Cairn, the Whispering Cairn isn’t so empty and harmless.
"Situated in a sort of no-man’s land, the cairn was all but forgotten, its yawning entrance overgrown with weeds and choked with collapsed debris. Rediscovered by a curious teenager in 585 CY (Alastor Land), the cairn has since been a sort of community secret held by Diamond Lake’s youth, who dare each other to disappear into its cyclopean entrance and spend the night as a test of mettle. These visits tapered off about six years ago, when a local girl vanished while sleeping in the cairn. Occasionally, when the wind is just right, haunting, almost magical tones emerge from the depths of the forlorn tomb."[1] So this places the date of the mod. the whispering cairn, 591 (585 +6)"
