Daggerbay Mountains

The pages of history do not remember the Molten Titan, or when this fierce entity of liquid metal was felled by primordial elves at the end of the Founding. The entity was sealed within and consumed by the earth, giving birth to a range of mountains that has stood for the ages since. Jutting upward against the northwestern border of the Verdant Expanse and stretching to the Ozmit Sea, these stormy peaks functioned as the first boundary between the long-established elves of Syngorn and the burgeoning human colonies on Tal'Dorei during their arrival.
For most of history, the Daggerbay Mountains, or the lyren'alsi in the elven tongue, were known to be desolate and devoid of material worth. Prospectors from O'Noa came home empty-handed, if they came back at all. The survivors warned all of tribes of bloodthirsty one-eyed giants that roamed the peaks: cyclopes. Issylran settlers and Syngornianelves both learned to leave the lyren'alsi well enough alone.
Decades later, the Emerald Outpost was established as a major trading post for the people of Emon and Syngorn. With such a valuable settlement nearby, the Daggerbays' hazardous peaks garnered the interest of adventurers and fortune-seekers. Small hunts for undiscovered riches grew into vast expeditions. These incursions into the mountains aggravated the mountains' territorial inhabitants; elven scouts reported cyclops raiders and cyclops stormcallers conducting strange rituals within the eyes of thunderstorms at night, and hungry bulettes hunting beyond their normal domain, as if guided by some unknown intelligence.
