Cliffkeep Mountains
Spanning the northern reaches of Tal'Dorei, the Cliffkeep Mountains are an inpenetrable barrier between the known realm and what lies beyond in the distant north. The Cliffkeeps' southern foothills are dotted with forests and pockets of civilisation, standing resolute against the unwelcoming topography. Deep within the earth itself, the dwarven stronghold of Kraghammer flourishes and expands, just a few scant leagues above ancient caverns that plunge into a domain of unknowable horrows.
The Cliffkeps are the largest mountain range in all of Tal'Dorei, home to myriad peoples; scattered tribes of kobolds scavenge in the wake of hungry ettins, roving clans of frost giants, and mobs of trolls those who camp too high into the old paths Wild wyverns can be heard screeching into the valleys, and some scattered goliath herds even tame wyverns for mounts.
Near the earth elemental rift and the Ashari village of Terrah, the mountains themselves seem to rise up in defense as earth elementals spring from the living stones. Northward brings higher peaks and colder winds, as snow and ice take the lands to become the frozen waste known as the Neverfields. These challenges keep the common folk at bay, the secrets and spoils held within these crags calling only to the very brave, very clever, or very stupid.
