No Man's Land

1. What do people call this unique place? It's called many things by different groups nearby, No Man's Land, The Grave of the Forgotten, The Land of no Return. The part that is more widely known is the border to the area, a mountain range where, at the top, when you look upon this vass land, you see next to no signs of life. This is known as Hell's Veil, for when crossed, it's rumored your soul will know nothing more than misery.
2. Who lives there? Nomads, Hermits, and Exiled people from the realm. The occasional risk taker may venture in to prove themselves in some way.
3. Why do they live there? Most of them must. Some Exiled there, some were born there and no nothing else and others are simply lost there. One thing is certain though, those unfit never live long
4. What conflicts does the terrain foster? If you can get past the imminent danger of lack of food, water, and materials to build shelter, you will soon find the land is filled with the undead that becomes only thicker the deeper you venture in. It's even rumored that a great undead dragon has been spotted, flying around, or perched on a peak near the center of this desolate land.
5. Why might the PCs be drawn to this place? Chances are, they won't, unless they need to locate someone banished to these lands, or, even worse, find themselves exiled there themselves!
6. How do they get there? There are steep, tall, spiky mountains surrounding it, aside from some passages. They will either need to go through these passages, whether forced or willing. If they attempt to fly over, they will soon be met with crippling debris filled winds that are almost impossible to travel in.
7. You do you. At the center of this, at the bottom of the peak with the dragon, is an ancient Litch, who has been slowly been building an army of undead exiles, fallen adventurers, and beasts (yes, and a dragon) to one day set his vengeance across the material plane. Centuries ago, he was once a well respected mage that was wrongly convicted of treason by the community, even though his end goal was to use his necromancy magic for good. https://dungeonmasterblock.freeforums.net/thread/2371/dm-nastics-154-moving-mountains
