In the years well before the current rule of Lady D'hmis and the Barony of Gulluvia, Gygar was a magic-user of great repute.  He had befriended the legendary Silver Princess and was given the eastern minelands to be under his protection.  The dwarves were self-sufficient and loyal to the crown, so Gygar spent most of his time researching more more, and the keeping a slow incursion/migration of overland kobolds.  The fate of Gygar is not in current texts of Gulluvia, or even the current nearby human village of Mere, but some of the lesser rumors of the eventual abandonment of the mines by the dwarves denotes kobold incursions, so it is possible that the tiny dog-men finally got the better of him. 

All that's is left of the man, is his name still attached to his ruined castle, a few miles outside of Mere. 

Oh Gygar, whose name is on the castle out of the DM Guide from the Mentzer Red Box!  I've run it a few times, most recently for my Adventures in Gulluvia campaign, but today is the first time I've statted him out.
