Wailing Mountains

These high and imposing mountains are composed of gray stone and rise suddenly out of the tundra, inland from the Seal Coast (two weeks by dogsled, or so they say). There are no foothills or general upslope in the approach to the Wailing Mountains, just a sudden springing of towering masses of stone. The mountains themselves are sheathed year-round with a thick layer of ice from their peaks to halfway down their steep flanks. The mountains support no life, as the wind whips from the west and scours even the shale and scree from the stony slopes.
At one point, the Uln are said to have founded settlements on the slopes of the Wailing Mountains. If they did so, all must have been abandoned ages ago. The White Fields of Death are beyond the Wailing Mountains.
