Steamfont Mountains

The Steamfont Mountains, a rugged and stony range that cuts across the heart of Faydwer, are a land of contrasts and contradictions. Despite their barren and rocky exterior, these mountains are teeming with life and activity, thanks to the industrious gnomes who call them home and the rich veins of ore that lie hidden beneath their craggy surface.
Nestled amidst the towering peaks of the Steamfont Mountains lies the bustling city of Ak'Anon, a beacon of innovation and ingenuity in an otherwise untamed wilderness. Here, gnomish engineers and artisans toil tirelessly amidst the whirring of gears and the hiss of steam, crafting wondrous inventions and mechanical marvels that defy imagination.
The Steamfont Mountains serve as a natural barrier, separating the chaos and turmoil of the surrounding lands from the relative safety and stability of Faydwer. The rugged terrain and treacherous passes make it difficult for hostile forces to penetrate into the heart of the continent, providing a measure of protection for the gnomes and other inhabitants of the region.
Despite their harsh and unforgiving environment, the Steamfont Mountains are not devoid of life. Hardy plants cling to rocky outcroppings, their roots reaching deep into the earth in search of moisture and sustenance. Wildlife is sparse but resilient, adapted to survive in the harsh conditions of the high altitudes.
For the gnomes of Ak'Anon, the Steamfont Mountains are more than just a home—they are a source of inspiration and opportunity, a canvas upon which they can paint their dreams and aspirations. And as long as the gears continue to turn and the steam continues to rise, the city of Ak'Anon will remain a shining beacon of progress and innovation in the heart of the Steamfont Mountains.
