Lortmill Mountains

The Lortmil Mountains are a chain of low mountains located in the central part of the Plains of Ash, forming the eastern border of the Dim Forest and the Gran March Valley.

Ecosystem Cycles

The Lortmils were once the home of considerable orcish and goblinoid settlements, but these were driven to the north during the Hateful Wars, just to return with a vengeance during the Green Scourge many many generations later.

Fauna & Flora

The Lortmil Mountains cover an area of some 60,000 square miles, a huge swath of land extending into various climate zones. They are noted for their gem and precious metal deposits. The gems found in the deep mines of the Lortmill Mountains are larger than those found in most other mines. A few of the highest mountain peaks, particularly in the northernmost end of the range, retain snow cover year round, but the lower southerly peaks melt off during the summer heat of the lowlands. Heavy woodlands drape the northeastern slopes with cool, roanlwood forests cloaked in mist and fog.
The southwestern portions of the range enjoys warmer temperatures and an almost tropical moisture from the Azure Sea Those regions flourish with large stands of maples, beech., giving over to tangled underbrush at higher elevations. The heavy growth makes travel off regular routes difficult if not impossible in the southern Lortmills. In late Harvester, the slopes of these areas blaze with the autumnal splendor, but in the winter months, heavy rains impede travel.
