Daggerbay Mountains

Daggerbay Mountains

The pages of history do not remember the Molten Titan, or when this fierce entity of liquid metal was felled by primordial elves at the end of the Founding. The entity was sealed within and consumed by the earth, giving birth to a range of mountains that has stood for the ages since. Jutting upward against the northwestern border of the Verdant Expanse and stretching to the Ozmit Sea, these stormy peaks functioned as the first boundary between the long-established elves of Syngorn and the burgeoning human colonies on Tal’Dorei during their arrival.
  For most of history, the Daggerbay Mountains, or the loren’al in the elven tongue, were known to be desolate and devoid of material worth. Colonial-era prospectors came home empty-handed, if they came back at all. The survivors warned all of tribes of bloodthirsty, one-eyed giants that roamed the peaks— cyclops. Any human or elf with half a mind knew to leave the Daggerbays well enough alone.
  Yet, after the Emerald Outpost was established as a major settlement and trading post, the Daggerbays’ hazardous peaks garnered renewed interest. Small searches for undiscovered riches led to a number of dispersed claims to pop up throughout the rocky valleys over the years, stirring up the territorial inhabitants of the mountains. Elven scouts report cyclops raiders and shamans conducting strange rituals within the eyes of thunderstorms at night, and hungry bulettes hunting beyond their normal domain, as if guided by some unknown intelligence.
