Maghar Ridge

When the giants rose mountain ranges around Aedelor it destroyed the land previously above it and also brought with it dangerous creatures normally living deep in the earth. The most recent mountain range to be erected was the Maghar Ridge, named for the giant king Maghar who ruled the giants in Kamazar. From earth around these mountains spilled terrible creatures; giant wyrms, clawed insectoids, and many other nameless abberations.   Maghar and his kin remained in Kamazar, hiding in their canyon kingdom, and the rest of Valdar had to deal with this new onslaught. For over a hundred years after this event the peoples of Valdar, especially Aurileme, dealt with an influx of monsters taking root in the region. It took concerted efforts from many warriors who struck deals with dragons to help them root out the monster nests.
Still to this day the Maghar Ridge is a monster haven with deep roots in to the earth. It is best avoided even by seasoned adventurers.

History

During the Thousand-Year Wars, giants who were settled in Kama were being flanked by bronze dragons from the waters, and green dragons from the forests. In an effort to cut them off and destroy their favoured environments, the giants rose up the Maghar Ridge and the land around the Gran Loch, choking away the rivers and lakes between. The giants created cities in the now bone dry canyons, impressive cliffside structures that can still be found today for any brave enough to venture into the desert.
