Blackfire Pass

Some flora of this region exudes a noxious vapor which turns emotions sour. The ground is split in a thousand scars and seep lava like oozing wounds. Good friends forced to stay for extended periods often become fast enemies. Due to high altitudes, harsh conditions, and lack of navigable pathways, as well as a magical confusion effect that strikes during the night (DC 15 to resist. Check once for anyone in the mountains at midnight), Blackfire Pass has gained a reputation of being impassable and impossibly dangerous. Some of the deep valleys are so narrow that they are perpetually gloomy. This is one of the last strongholds of red dragons of Mythris and they guard it fiercely. Daralathyxl, the Sixth King of the Mountains is from this barren toxic landscape, and has sired a majority of those dragons that still dwell there. The pass has been known to drive its intruders into madness, and wizards around the world have speculated that the dragons have created this effect on purpose.
