The last time they heard of Mount Glimmer was ten years ago.
It was on Mount Glimmer that the meeting of the Five Great Families took place ten years ago...

"It's about time, they finally lost patience."
Penny Sullivan sighed, raised her bleary eyes, and looked at Wilton Lindsey, "Wilton, would you like to tell your son, or shall I?"
Wilton Lindsey, creasing his wrinkled brow, conceded, "Penny, you do it."
"Come, my son, sit."
Penny gestured for Arthur Lindsey to sit in the wicker chair next to her. She removed her reading glasses, swallowed by a whirlpool of memories:
"Everything started from the Big Five Families meeting ten years ago. At Mount Glimmer, the Jefferson, Cooper, Moore, and Jaron Families had conspired to resist the expansion of our Lindsey Family group."
"They drafted many unequal agreements and made us sign them. For the time being, your father and I, symbolically compromised."
