Jagged Iron Mountains

The Jagged Iron Mountains, also known as the Ironspires, are a formidable mountain range located in the frozen continent of Northguard. These towering peaks, made up of jagged black rocks, are notorious for their extreme weather conditions and treacherous terrain. Despite the harsh environment, the mountains are rich in natural resources, particularly iron and coal, which have drawn the attention of various mining companies and dwarven clans. Many of the mountains in the range are volcanic in nature, and hot springs dot the landscape, providing warmth to the creatures that call this region home. Local elf and dwarf communities have reported sightings of yetis, massive ape-like creatures rumored to inhabit the more remote regions of the mountains. Due to the difficulty of traversing the range, few have been able to confirm the existence of these creatures.
The Jagged Iron Mountains also hold significant cultural and spiritual significance to the dwarven clans that call them home. These clans are known for their skill in mining and metalworking, and many ancient dwarven fortresses and strongholds can be found nestled within the peaks. These fortifications serve not only as a testament to the dwarves' craftsmanship but also as a defense against the various creatures that roam the mountains, including trolls and ice giants.
In addition to the natural and cultural wonders of the Jagged Iron Mountains, the range is also notable for its strategic importance. It serves as a natural barrier between the various factions that vie for power in Northguard, and as such, has been the site of many conflicts and battles throughout history. Despite the dangers and difficulties, many adventurers and explorers are drawn to the Jagged Iron Mountains, seeking the treasures and secrets hidden within its peaks.
