- "Folk around here haven’t ever seen a real barrow, just heard about them in stories. When they find a hill with big mounds on it… Barrow Hill."
- ―Kvothe[1]
Borrorill is a hill located near the town of Trebon, near the Mauthen farm. It is named in reference to local superstition that it is a barrow or burial site. It was likely the location of an old hill fort, since it is the tallest flat-topped hill in the area and allows sight thirty miles in every direction.
Before being murdered, Mauthen dug up flat grey stones from the hill and used them to build a home. He also dug up the pottery showing images of the Chandrian and an Amyr there.[2]
In the Chronicle[]
After the massacre at the Mauthen Farm, Kvothe and Denna leave the town of Trebon and try to look for clues about what happened there. The two meet a swineherd named Schiem, who tells them that he saw blue flames billowing in the distance. Kvothe assumes that the blue flames are caused by the Chandrian, which would fit with Kvothe's theory that it was they who were responsible for the killings at the farm. Seeking a good vantage point to locate the flames, Kvothe and Denna climb Borrorill. They soon find out that the flames Schiem described were caused by a Draccus, and thus not connected to the killings at the farm.
