Forlorn Mountains

This vast mountain range is one of the largest other than the Stonehearts, and once served as the ancestral home of the Great Mountain Clan of Targ, although these dwarves are now widely scattered after the fall of the citadel at Hazad-Burgh in 3160 I.R. to giant invaders. Giants haunt the eastern reaches of the mountains in great numbers on the far side of the range, but Exeter Province is spared from the worst threat the mountains offer. Nevertheless, the province still has to cope with giantish raids from time to time, for the entire mountain range is rife with them. In recent years, the lord-governor of Exeter Province has done an excellent job of staving off the giant incursions, although some of the local nobles have voiced the opinion that rooting out trouble at the source might do more to stop the problem.
Legends speak of a strange and powerful wizard called the Mechanician who is said to have a fortress in the southern Forlorn Mountains where he keeps one of the fabled Bells of Heaven, though no one has been able to confirm this rumor.
