Icebound Mountains

The Northern most section of the Vaunadand continent, the Icebound mountains are the original home to Orcs, Drow and Dwarves as well as the main thoroughfare to the Underdark and the beasts thereof.

Geography

The Icebound Mountains are technically small hills however a glacial formation has formed atop them due to the extreme cold at higher altitudes. The Orcs have made this their home in the first age of their kingdom after the creation of the Sacred Forges that warm the caves and caverns to a habitable temperature. Beneath the ice caves are the caves and caverns of the wide base hills that form the bottom half of the Icebound mountains. These caves and caverns are inhabited by the trade focused Goblinoids, and contain large volcanic chutes that lead down into the Gorge Lords territory and elevators that head towards the lands of the Peak Kings. Below them are the natural and carved volacnic tubes from which the Gorge Lords have their seats of power. Below them are the Dreaming Collective which is a fun mix of crystaline and shining metals.
