Spine of the World

This extensive mountain range, which separates the North from the Uttermost North, has many of the highest peaks in all Faerûn, all eternally snow-capped. The Wall is its other name, used more commonly south of Waterdeep. Though it was once riddled with dwarfholds, now it is home to fierce, cold-loving monsters, countless tribes of orcs, goblins, hobgoblins, bugbears and verbeeg.
Hill giants prowl the foothills, and frost giants, white dragons, yeti, and taer claim the high peaks and frigid valleys. If the mines of Mirabar are any indication, it is also contains the richest mineral deposits in the North, yet due to its monstrous inhabitants, only the smallest fraction of that wealth is exploited. The heart of the range is uncharted, but is said to hide lost cities, abandoned dragon lairs, and even frozen dinosaurs.
