Climbing Peaks
Where Legend and Danger Collide
The Call of the Mountain
The jagged peaks of the Herenyakal Mountains loom like ancient titans, their snowy summits crowned in mist, their cliffs veined with peril and mystery. To climb them is to test more than your physical endurance—it is to battle the spirit of the mountain itself, to defy its biting winds and hidden dangers. The Yetis howl in the night, their cries mingling with the shifting snow beneath your boots. Each step is a gamble against nature’s wrath, but for those bold enough to reach the summits, glory awaits.
The relics of the Three Frosty Bards—bards whose ambition led them to these very peaks—are said to be hidden here. But beware, for the mountain watches all who seek its secrets.
The Peak of the Bear
The mountain rises with a silhouette that resembles a bear mid-roar, its craggy cliffs lined with jagged outcroppings like the beast’s gaping maw. They say that long ago, one of the boldest bards dared to challenge this peak, only for the echoes of his music to be silenced by the mountain’s unforgiving embrace.
The climb is treacherous. Sheets of ice cover the rocky paths, and avalanches lie in wait for the unwary. To stand atop this peak is to wrestle with the raw force of nature itself.
The Peak of the Beauty
This peak is unlike the others, its smooth contours curving gently as though nature sculpted it with reverence. Legends speak of its allure, a place where music once tried to tame the wild beauty of the mountain but failed.
The climb is as graceful as it is deadly. The soft snow beneath your boots can quickly give way to hidden crevices, and only those who respect the terrain can hope to glimpse the summit.
The Peak of the Hungry
Perhaps it was desperation or simple hunger that guided a bard to this lonely summit, whose jagged cliffs resemble skewered meat roasting over a fire. Some say the echoes of his last performance still haunt this place.
The winds howl louder here, and the scent of the mountain air mixes with the phantom hunger of those who have come before. Each step toward the summit is a test of fortitude.
The Legend of the Instruments
These peaks have become more than just landmarks—they are the resting places of ambition, folly, and perhaps even triumph. Many believe that the spirits of the bards still linger, whispering through the icy winds, guiding—or misleading—those who dare follow in their footsteps.
Few who embark on this journey return without scars—both physical and spiritual. The mountain demands respect, and those who take without offering tribute may find themselves trapped within its snowy grasp.
Climb if you dare, but remember this: the mountain listens, and it does not forget.
