Keywords are:  'starving rock'

Starving Rock is a butte located deep within the Southern Hills.  It is
usually completely isolated from the rest of the land, so much so that
some say that the entire plateau shifts to a different plane of
existance from time to time.  Whatever the case, it is home to many kinds
of creatures not found elsewhere.

The name 'Starving Rock' comes from a legend of internecine warfare
amongst ibixian tribes, during a conflict now known as the 'Beaver Wars'.
As revenge for assassinating their chief, the Rendrag tribe gathered
allies and chased their rivals, the Notgnimliw, up to the now famous
butte.  The Notgnimliws repelled siege after siege, until, without
access to adequate food, they eventually starved to death.
