Axehead Mountains

Legend tells of Tige's struggles to unite the diaspora of mountain clans under his flag. In the end, he had so won their respect that they gifted him the location of a vein of glittering, rose-hued goldstone. The location of that quarry died in the Conflagration of the Queen's Royal Library.

Forming the northern coast of Capitalla, the Axehead Mountains and their foothills are rich with mining opportunities for both ore and stone. The mountains hold the several trickling sources that converge to form the might Division River.

It was from a long-lost location deep in the heart of the Axeheads that the stone for Library Inn was quarried.
