The Star Mounts

The Star Mounts were an impressive and forbidding range of peaks, located in the centre of the High Forest, a particularly wild are of the Savage Frontier. They were an inspiration for many fanciful tales and wild stories created by local troubadours and woodsmen of the North.
The mountains were very difficult to traverse. The overland terrain was incredibly steep and no known passes extended into its interior. In fact, the centre of the mountains contained an elevated valley that was hidden away from the surrounding world.
Snow and inhospitable weather that continued year-round made climbing hazardous, in what was an already remote location. It was impossible for creature less powerful than a dragon to approach the Star Peaks safely by air, due to incredibly high winds which were constantly whipping across the peaks.
Some rumours told that, during the peaceful nights among the Star Mounts, strange flashing lights appeared that attracted or banished dragons and other flying creatures that dared to fly nearby. According to other rumours, the elves created mysterious crystals that illuminated the mountains, while some unknown, sinister constructs emitted beams of light when they were exposed to the moonlight.
