{2,0} Mt. Mōdraniht

Lore Summary:

Rising high above the surrounding forest and foothills, Mt. Mōdraniht dominates the area west of Jaytown. The surface of the mountain is fairly easy to travel but the danger lurks below. Although a small city known as Garcov near the base of the mountain was destroyed recently by undead and some sort of "plant monster". The mountain is riddled with cave systems that are easily confused and more than one group of explorers has had to been rescued after getting lost. In addition to being confusing the caves are populated by a wide variety of monsters including hives of "slivers", multiple dragons, undead and fire creatures that control the level of magma in the caves. The caves are a popular location for less popular humanoids such as bandits, necromancers, and slightly insane wizards. The Yellow Crane Tribe maintain a small mining operation under the mountain gathering magical ore for Wagner's armor crafting and crystals for Trent's Raise Dead spells. A metallic dragon of unknown type known as "The Dark shard of Mt. Mōdraniht" guards an entrance to the Underdark.
