Geography
Hammerfall Summit is the tallest peak in the Rodiac Highlands. A fortress of weathered stone and frozen scree, the summit is notoriously difficult to climb due to its sharp drop-offs and unpredictable gale-force winds. The stone has natural veins of silvershade and thunderite — a rare, vibration-sensitive metal.Magical Phenomena
Hammerfall is known for its resonant wind currents. When the wind howls across its jagged ridgelines, the stone sings — deep, echoing chimes that can carry for miles. Some believe the mountain was once struck by a divine hammer, forever ringing with its echo.Legends and Lore
- A hidden skyforge chamber is said to lie just below the summit, its entrance only accessible during lunar alignments.
