Frosted Mountains
Stretching across much of northeast Tarien, these mountains are harsh and generally inhospitable place. Taller than any other mountains on the continent, they boast snow capped peaks, sharp cliffs, and dangerous slides. Still, nestled in their valleys are the fertile lands in which the Flind make their homes. More importantly, the high lakes and snowmelt feed some of Tarien's mightiest rivers, including the Silver and the Pontrien.
Life among the peaks is hard and the creatures here stubbornly eek out an existence. Small ground dwellers, like the mountain hare and marmot dart from burrow to burrow, constantly on the look out for the great eagles that soar above and nest in the cliffs. Great spotted cats hunt sure footed sheep that fill the air with the sounds of horn-to-horn battles in the fall. And everyone is weary of the great bears that spend their short summers fattening up on anything that they can catch. All hide, however, when the dark shadows that blot out the sun pass overhead; a sure sign that one of the ranges great dragons is on the hunt.
