Starcrag Range

The Starcrag Range, as an offshoot of the Stoneheart Mountains, is relatively young, as evidenced by its razor-sharp peaks and steep, sheer sides. Passes through the mountains are rare, and only those knowing their way have a reasonable chance of crossing them. The mountains rise to 12,000 feet above The Plains below, with an average of 8,000 feet. The greatest heights bear glaciers, while even lesser peaks are snowcapped for most of the year, with the tree line at about 6,000 feet. The range is intercut by valleys and rivers, all flowing out and away from the mountains. A misty haze often covers the Starcrags, and all fear the things found in this mist.
This spur of the Stoneheart Mountains is typically classified as its own chain, though largely for political reasons rather than geographical. The Starcrag Range and its foothills are outside the control of the great mountain dwarf clans who rule over the balance of the Stoneheart Mountains. While the mountain dwarves can hardly be considered a united entity, their hegemony over the region warrants a separate distinction between the Stoneheart Mountains and their lesser brethren, the Starcrags, which are instead dominated by the dwarves’ hobgoblin adversaries.
