Twin Mountains of Elmon Building / Landmark in Alpha Centauri | World Anvil

Twin Mountains of Elmon

Two volcanoes formed into mountains, lie dormant - at the moment - besides each other. Molten core runs slowly from one of the mountains “mouth”, and a faint reddish glow from the top of the volcanoes can be seen when night is upon us.
    Elmon is a region on Domus, not far from where humans first landed. The most famous place from the region, a sight that is quite hard to forget, is the twin mountains. They stand tall and proud, and are seen from far away on the horizon. They are also called "The Watchers", as they stand guard at the entrance to a deep and wild forest. The area beyond the the watchers is a mystical place, with wildlife not seen anywhere else - flower like plants as tall as trees stands at the entrance of the forest. The forest itself haven't been explored as much - yet.   The mountains can be seen from far away lands, and is also seen in Primis, where it's often used as a beacon to guide explorers.    

Tales from the Nadvë

The mountains played a big role in the lives of the Nadvë too - they wrote about them as living creatures on Domus, watchers of the forest beyond. Twins that protects secrets of Domus. Written stories had been found in old Nadvë ruins of two beings, once normal people of the Nadvë, had been tasked to stand guard and protect the forest of Elmon. The two guards promised, that they would never let any harm come to pass - and they never broke their promise. As the years went by, they became a part of the nature itself, and slowly grew into tall mountains.
