Celestial Peaks

Rising majestically from the northern horizon, the Celestial Peaks form a natural barrier between the Crystal Lord's domain and the neighboring kingdom to the north. The rugged mountain chain, with its towering peaks, treacherous valleys, and mysterious caves, serves as both a protective border and a symbol of the domain's unyielding spirit.
The mountains are not just any ordinary range. Their surfaces are embedded with crystals, making them glint in the sunlight and shimmer under the moon. During winters, the snow-capped peaks combined with the embedded crystals create a breathtaking panorama, making them appear as if they've been dusted with stardust.
The challenging terrain provides a natural defense against potential invasions from the northern kingdom. Any army attempting to cross would have to navigate the perilous mountain paths, making them vulnerable to ambushes.
Though not as rich as the domain's official mines, the Celestial Peaks contain pockets of valuable minerals and crystals. These are often mined by independent prospectors or smaller mining outfits.
The tallest peak, known as "Lunar Summit," is considered a sacred place. It's believed that those who climb it during a full moon night receive blessings from the moon deity.
While the mountain chain is challenging, a few known passes allow for travel between the Crystal Lord's domain and the northern kingdom. The most famous of these is the "Luminous Pass," which, while perilous, is the most direct route and is often used by traders and emissaries.
A group of warriors and mages trained to protect and patrol the mountain range. They ensure the safety of those traveling through the Luminous Pass, deter any illegal activities, and serve as the first line of defense against potential threats from the north.
