The Barrier Mountains

"You could spend your whole life in the Bulwarks looking for gold mines or buried treasure. You may even find them if you fight off the griffins and the wyverns long enough." ~Taggert Clanless, Deputy of Alcedene

Geography

The Bulwarks are a mountain range that completely separate the two peninsulas of Seaudyr from the rest of the mainland. The range goes from north to south,

Fauna & Flora

The Bulwarks are deceptively lush. While the rocky spires of the mountains are bare to anything but feral wyverns and griffons, the valleys in between have grasslands are nearly self-contained wilds themselves. Some are grasslands, some are forests, and many are populated with wild game. Prospectors in the mountains have many legends of lost tombs or monstrous lairs hiding out in these isolated areas. Legend has it that an ancient griffon and an elder wyvern both live in the mountain range, eternally hunting one another.

Natural Resources

There is a line of georimas beneath the mountains that push them up, slowly and inexorably as more elemental earth bleeds through. This has caused large veins of precious and useful minerals to strike through the mountains.
