Mount Firethorn
Mount Firethorn, the tallest point of Valheim. Some say climbing its many peaks is an enlightening journey while others speak only of dangers at every turn. Many of the most dangerous creatures of Valheim dwell in this frigid mountain range, making it a hub for only the most daring adventures of the island, who form groups and guilds specializing in exploring each nook and cranny of the treacherous peak. There are also many miners who often hire these kinds of groups to protect them in the deep caverns while they mine for precious ores, gems, and most of all the sparkling Viverite.
Geography
Mount Firethorn is a dangerous mountain range, with sharp rocks, steep slopes, caverns, and trenches which provide a challenge for daring adventures. The stone itself is covered in layers of dirt, giving it a light brown color and a coarse texture. If you dig deeper beyond the stone, you will find caverns full of valuable ores and exquisite gemstones safeguarded by ruthless creatures. When planning a trip to Mount Firethorn make sure you keep all of these things in mind, along with the lack of unfrozen water.
