Kavari Mountains
When the Titan Anvil forged the elemental planes they pulled the arcane ley lines into them, dragging the power in a tug-o-war with the gargantuan presence of primordial elemental power. Sat in the land of Kavari, these leylines were anchored to the material realm. Allowing elemental power to pour into the world.
A great volcano of liquid ice magma burst through the ground causing earth quakes and shifts in the landscape. The Kavari mountains were born, a mass range of rock and storms. The people of the area have a constitution unmatched by any other. To survive the harsh storms and burning ice eruptions stands them as the hardiest of folks.
The elemental anchor held fast the leylines but like a sharpened blade cutting silk the lines cut through the curtain of life and death. Just enough that violent Soul Storms rip through Kavari now and then.
Those crazed enough to try and map the land fail after their first step, as the constant elemental disasters reshape the land often.
Kvari itself is at the heart of many myths and legends, based in the origins of monsters of chaos and blood. Its people care not for the outside world, their sole purpose in life is to survive. But there is truth to the myths, as to survive the harsh environment the people embrace its power, let in the chaotic elements. This can lead to changes in the soul of a creature both deeply spiritual and the physical.
Those looking in, mostly by magical means as no sane traveller would risk the elemental storms and soul ripping phenomenon, claim the dominant race of Kvari are Orcs. But this is a case of mistaken identity. No know alive today can say what the original race was. Years of exposure have created what can only be known as Kvarian's.
