The Lion Mountains
The Lion Mountains are a natural frontier that separate several kingdoms. It is a place of both history and conflict, as it serves as a meeting point for armies, tribes, immigrants, and many types of creatures. The mountains are filled with various forts, towers, and outposts by factions that belong to the surrounding kingdoms of Lothen, Sol, Sarta, Igros, and even Dragoria who sustain a war for the dominion of the area.
Geography
The Lion Mountains consist of narrow passages amidst snow-covered slopes and dense forests. They are extremely difficult to cross due to the many dangers that lurk on every side of the region. They are filled with underground warrens where monsters hatch in Amber. The most commonly found creatures are the Mountain Lions, the beasts that the region was named after.
History
Early Mountain Tribes named the Lion Mountains after Vheod Whiteshield killed a mythic Lion Mountain wielding his shield as his only weapon. The blood of the Lion became a sigil and gave birth to the Whiteshield dynasty that took over Lothen and the nearby kingdoms. The Lion Mountains have always been a grey zone where conflict between the Human kingdoms of the Forklands take place since the Second Age of Vitallia.
