History
Scarhead Mountain is an attractive volcanic cone and a frequent subject of Elvish art especially after 2080, when the train line from the Shelter to Moville was completed and people the south could travel to the Elsrish capital easier. The mountain is mentioned in Elsrish literature throughout the ages and is the subject of many poems. The summit has been thought of as sacred since ancient times and was forbidden to humans until the Unification of Obe. Tonnisteri Fliers used the base of the mountain as a remote training area, near the present-day neighborhood of the Shelter, Brytoris.
