Ferrigo Mountains (Ferr-igo Mount-n)

Geography

The geography of the Ferrigo Mountains is very harsh, made up of towering black spires and rough craggy rock formations. Bordering the Crimson Sea in the east the temperature of the Ferrigo Mountain's eastern face is almost always hot. The black iron spires absorb the heat from the desert making large portions of the mountain ranges peaks warm despite the height of the peaks themselves.

Ecosystem

Due to how harsh the environment of the mountains are many beings find it difficult to make their home within the range itself with only the sturdiest or durable of creatures being able to thrive despite the lack of resources necessary to support life.

Localized Phenomena

Due to the extreme temperatures and metallic spires throughout the Ferrigo Mountains, it is common for large thunderstorms and lightning strikes to occur high up in the mountains. Due to the electrical charge in some areas, higher elevations have formed pockets of magnetic energy causing metal objects to exhibit odd effects when entering pockets.

Natural Resources

The Ferrigo Mountains have large amounts of high quantity ore throughout its layers having been pushed higher when the range was formed.

History

Formed in the wake of a terrible natural disaster that turned an entire forest and fertile land into a sea of sand and iron, the scale of the event was severe enough to push pieces of the land up and away from the impact sinking the center of the crater and the land itself down while forming high rocky outcroppings surrounding the now desert. The heat and pressure of the impact were responsible for forming the black iron spires throughout the peaks due to the natural resources of the once fertile land being thrown and pushed away.
