WHcih sort of rules out Sartar <g>. With most Hill Forts being Vingkotling, with one or two from Dawn Age Heorlting cultures:

it has a lot of history to be vitrified in.

>I still prefer dragonfire...<

Which is an option in DP at any time, though the Dragonkill seems most likely. has value...

Otherwise the most likely causes would seem to be: Storm Age: Deliberately built with stone then magically fired to glass to make it harder to climb, more impressive, etc. Darkness: Battle against chaos in Snakepipe Hollow (mainly because this fits with other geographic chaos effects). Is there a 'Siege of Stonewall Myth'.
First Age: Arkat's war on Gbaji.

Could be a YGMV, unless someone produces a cool episode that picks up on the causes of vitrification. Hmmm, let me think....
