Bridleborne Mountains
East of Newfaire lies a towering mountain range famous for its powerful cohort of redrunners. Though scarlet is illegal, those who live within the mountains control one of the regions most popular exports, making this dangerous job incredibly lucrative. Here, citizens are vehemently anti-Periphery due to their enforcement of the scarlet prohibition. They are also an incredibly insular community that spurns the influence of the Ascendancy. A popular practice among the people in Bridleborne is to hang bottles from the trees, which is said to be a way to capture spirits. Whether this is true is up for debate, even among those in Bridleborne, but it certainly serves as a brilliant way of flaunting how many bottles fo scarlet one has gotten past the Periphery officers.
Points of Interest
The Dead Route: Within the twisting mountains of Bridleborne is one stretch of road that is particularly precarious for redrunners. Periphery officers create choke oints to capture or kill speeding drivers smuggling scarlet. At night, drivers will turn off their engines and coast down the road in an effort to sneak by dozing guards.
Bridge's Peak: The highest point of the Bridleborne range is considered the most treacherous summit in Hale. This peak exhibits deadly whiteouts, ice storms, and crumbling crevasses. Explorers have been known to wander off the mountain's edge following mysterious blue lights others cannot see.
Oleson Air Station: Representing incredible technological advancement, this research outpost functions as both a way to study the ecology of the mountains and a testing ground for air travel. Many airship pilots in the Fairelands aspire to study and work with the outpost team. As the station hangs on the sharp edge of a cliff, newcomers are sent out on the gangway on their first day to "lose their lunch before dinner."
