Qug Mountains
Üllemic: Q'üg /q'yːk/
Njóþic: Þü'unar /θyːʔunaːr/
The Qug Mountains1 are the highest ones on the continent of Jælondis and Borgalor in general, and form the traditional territory of the highland Dwarves. The mountains dominate central Jælondis, bordered by Iðlía Forest to the northwest and west, Fúmsis and Maralon Steppe to the west, Lamþó Hills to the southwest, Ytvía to the south, and Ójom to the east and north.
Currently, the most powerful countries in the Qug Mountains are Eimpfiq'elía and T'üllma.
The name Qug is derived from üllemic, the most widespread in the region, which roughly translates to Heartland as opposed Deillüg or foreign lowlands, while the njóþic name Þü'unar means Crown of the World.

Geography
The sources of many important rivers in Jælondis are located in Qug Mountains, including Abþa, Ehó, Ókor and Zúrta, as is the famed Ta'amk Lake and Mt. Eqel, the world's highest mountain, both of which are regarded as sacred places in most dwarven faiths as well as many Humans and Jútrilían Elves.
One of the most striking feature of the region's landscape are the myriad and often massive reliefs and sculptures hewn from the living rock, depicting everything from deities and mythological scenes to sacred animals and deified individuals to important historical events in great detail. Some of these monuments are so ancient and weathered that it's uncertain whom they depict anymore, and many took decades or even centuries to complete.
