Eastern Mountains
|
|
|
|
Known as the "Waterwall Mountains" by the non-demihumans, these
|
|
form the boundary between the Western Kingdom and the Frontier. The
|
|
foothills below the mountains, particularly the area east of
|
|
Hillsburrough between the North and South forks of the Eastern Arc
|
|
River, have already seen many large battles between expanding
|
|
demihumans and monstrous bands - even a few armies claiming that they
|
|
were sent by the Great Alliance (thought broken up 300 years ago by the
|
|
Council of Nine).
|
|
The Eastern mountains still really aren't safe, despite all the
|
|
traffic they see. In addition to the bandits that haunt the lonelier
|
|
corridors of the Frontier Road, there are all manner of known and
|
|
unknown monsters that lurk in the higher portions of the Eastern
|
|
Mountains. White Worms, Frost giants, and Drow all haunt the mountains.
|
|
Rumors of dungeons and evil castles popping up across the mountains are
|
|
increasingly common, and the nature of the mountains - with their high
|
|
peaks, steep slopes, and few navigable passes - make these rumors
|
|
difficult to investigate, let alone confirm or squash.
|
|
Regardless of any of this, the Eastern Mountains are definitely
|
|
proving to be the passport to the future of the Kingdom, for better or
|
|
worse.
