Pelivar Pass

Pelivar Pass winds a circuitous route across the western portion of the Stoneheart Mountains before reaching the elevated Feirgotha Plateau. Although it offers a viable alternative to laboriously climbing over numerous treacherous mountains, the pass is not for the faint of heart. It features multiple switchbacks, terrifying precipices, and steep inclines, all at elevations of 10,000 feet and higher. Because the western stretch is incomplete and predominately uninhabited, few travelers use this route which leads to widespread neglect throughout the highway. Scree from falling stones covers portions of the pass, while conspicuously placed boulders still block the path at obvious yet abandoned ambush sites. The dwarves exert little influence in the area, concentrating their efforts on more valuable assets to the north and east. A small clan of hill giants led by their oafish chieftain Ah-uhm rules in their stead. However, the oversized humanoid displays no interest in the affairs of others while his drinking goblet and belly are full.
