The Stone of Erech sits atop this hill, placed there by Isildur to mark the escape of Númenor's sons from the deluge. We first encounter The Hill of Erech in Volume III: Book 3: At the Stone of Erech as Isildur first forms a pact with the Men of the Mountain to fight against Sauron, and then curses them when they fail to fulfill their oath. King Rioc says, "I will swear it on this very stone, this sign of the might of Númenor's sons." King Rioc says, "On this stone, I swear that I and my people will stand with you and fight against Sauron..." King Rioc says, "...should he return." It was done. The allegiance of the Men of the Mountain was secured. Later, upon discovering that Sauron had returned, Isildur is at the summit by the Stone of Erech, waiting for the Men of the Mountain to arrive and fulfil their oath. Isildur says, "I expected you earlier than this, Rioc. And why have you brought so few men?" King Rioc says, "We have not come to fight for you. Your strength is nothing before that of Sauron." Isildur says, "What are you saying, Rioc? You swore an oath to fight against Sauron!" But the Men of the Mountains refused to fulfil their oath. They had worshiped Sauron in the Dark Years and thought they would be rewarded. King Rioc says, "You do not frighten us. Sauron will crush your kingdoms as he has before." Isildur says, "Death is too good for you, Rioc." Isildur says, "You will be the last king of your people." Isildur says, This curse I lay upon you and all your folk: never to rest until your oath be fulfilled." Isildur says, "You will not know the restful sleep of death." Isildur says, "You will not know a day without the regret of your broken oath!" Isildur says, "This war will last for uncounted years, and you will be summoned again before its end." Isildur says, "Now GO! Leave this place! My words will follow you for your restless eternity!" They fled before him, his curse echoing in their ears. They fled to their homes in the mountains, but they could never escape Isildur's curse. Some info about the real King : Gustav I, born Gustav Eriksson of the Vasa noble family and later known as Gustav Vasa (12 May 1496 – 29 September 1560), was King of Sweden from 1523 until his death in 1560, previously self-recognised Protector of the Realm (Riksföreståndare) from 1521, during the ongoing Swedish War of Liberation against King Christian II of Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Gustav rose to lead the rebel movement following the Stockholm Bloodbath, where his father was executed. Gustav's election as king on 6 June 1523 and his triumphant entry into Stockholm eleven days later marked Sweden's final secession from the Kalmar Union. As king, Gustav proved an energetic administrator with a ruthless streak not inferior to his predecessor's, brutally suppressing subsequent uprisings (three in Dalarna – which had once been the first region to support his claim to the throne – one in Västergötland, and one in Småland). He worked to raise taxes and bring about a Reformation in Sweden, replacing the prerogatives of local landowners, noblemen and clergy with centrally appointed governors and bishops. His 37-year rule, which was the longest of an adult Swedish king to that date (subsequently passed by Gustav V and Carl XVI Gustav) saw a complete break with not only the Danish - Norwegian supremacy but also the Roman Catholic Church, whose assets were nationalised, with the Lutheran Church of Sweden established under his personal control. He became the first truly autocratic native Swedish sovereign and was a skilled bureaucrat and propagandist, with tales of his largely fictitious adventures during the liberation struggle still widespread to this day. In 1544, he abolished Medieval Sweden's elective monarchy and replaced it with a hereditary monarchy under the House of Vasa, which held the Swedish throne until 1654. Three of his sons, Eric XIV, John III and Charles IX, held the kingship at different points. Gustav I has subsequently been labelled the founder of modern Sweden, and the "father of the nation". Gustav liked to compare himself to Moses, whom he believed to have also liberated his people and established a sovereign state. As a person, Gustav was known for ruthless methods and a bad temper, but also a fondness for music and had a certain sly wit and ability to outmaneuver and annihilate his opponents. He founded one of the oldest orchestras of the world, Kungliga Hovkapellet (Royal Court Orchestra); thus Royal housekeeping accounts from 1526 mention twelve musicians including wind players and a timpanist but no string players. Today Kungliga Hovkapellet is the orchestra of the Royal Swedish Opera
