The Dew Mountains

The Dew Mountatins, in the North of The Republic of Taurinestein, in the continent of Taurine, were formed early on in the life of Shardinia. Beneath the surface of the mainland was a small piece of Alanmantium that had broken free from the planet's core during The Great Accident. Over the next hundred thousand years, as the planet's landmasses were still settling, the Alanmantium piece melted under extreme pressure and heat, and began to make its way up to the surface. The resultant volcanic activity was fierce and violent, creating a dense group of steep volcanoes that dissuaded early inhabitants of the Shard from settling near to the mountains. When the Shardinians did develop the courage to explore the mountains, they found that the land was packed with millions of small crystal Alanmantium shards. From a distance, at sunrise the crystals would twinkle, giving the effect of morning dew catching the light of the early sun, giving the Dew Mountains their name.
The Dew Mountains are no longer volcanic, having lay dormant for hundreds of years.
