	Meetings at Rund's Hall began to falter some two centuries ago. Increasingly cramped, the hall was no longer fit for purpose - there were simply too many priests and stormcrows who wished to attend the meetings. The last real meeting of the priests of Wintermark was in 238YE when the priests threw their support behind (then General) [[Emperor Guntherm\|Guntherm]] for [[the Throne]]. Contemporary reports talk of the hall being filled to capacity, and priests clustered seven deep outside around the four doors straining to hear and fighting to be heard.

	The [[382YE_Winter_Solstice_Synod_judgements#Judgement_10\|mandate]] enacted by '''Severi Jarlmarison''' in Winter 382YE saw interest within the nation increase for someone who could support the Wintermark Assembly in a similar fashion to the [[Speaker of the Highborn Assembly]]. The Hall of Rund was an obvious choice for a site to restore in order to inspire a new generation of priests. The solution of the Suaq was to build ''upwards''. The walls of the lower hall were replaced with stronger material and the previous roof was removed, adding two more levels above the first, with broad stairs and a raised dais in the centre for whoever is speaking. It is ~~not~~ possible for the Hall to once again house all the priests of Wintermark at once.

The town of Rundhal is named for her, and for the circular hall she built at the heart of the settlement. When it was first constructed, it was intended that all the priests of Kallavesa could meet there together, seated in a great ring, with none taking a place of prominence over another. Over time, this traditional meeting was opened to the priests of the Suaq and the Steinr, fostering a period of increased understanding of the spiritual realm.
