Larkspur Range
Although lower than the Rheuthengage Mountains from which it juts, the peaks of the Larkspur range still tower over the Lawless Steppes, cutting into the broad flat steppe lands with sharp peaks, deep gulches, and foreboding cliffs that have made their exploration difficult. Indeed, few beyond the curly horned sheep and mountain leopards that call the slate gray slopes home have seen more than a tiny corner of their foothills. Those few intrepid souls that have ventured into their interior report lakes of crystal blue waters and high alpine meadows carpeted with lavenders, periwinkles, blushes and snowy white flowers for which the range is named. These secretive glades, where summers sometimes fail to arrive until the end of the Sun Moon and begin to fade as soon as the Crimson Moon arrives are populated with voles, hares, marmots and other rodents that live among the low pines and expanses of bluegrass and rocks.
Larkspur Range
A few trappers have reported bountiful foxes and martens, but the remoteness of the journey makes trapping them unprofitable. Worse, several trappers have sworn to have seen the dancing of iridescent lights that mirrored the colors of the larkspur. Some have heard strange, haunting music, alien and full of sorrow. The distant glaze that frosts the eyes of those who tell these stories makes them suspect, at best. Still, there are plenty of trappers that have never returned from their forays into the mountains, something that seems to have increased in frequency over the past few winters as a steady trickle of miners, spurred on by the discovery of shallow deposits of tin and the thick veins filled with copper have steadily increased interest in the area.
