- In the town land of Matogul there is a fort called Rath-glas. Money was frequently found in the fort. An old man boasted of his luck to a few of his neighbours, but another old man told him that he had made a fatal mistake in telling that secret because no one would ever again find money there.. Even though people have looked for the money none has ever been found since.
