This chain of peaks stretches eastward from the tip of the Chondalwood, forming an effective barrier between the Shaar on the south side and the Black Ash Plain and the Green Lands of Unther to the north. Windswept and relatively barren of vegetation, the Uthangols serve as the northern boundary of the territory claimed by the gold dwarves of the Great Rift who have followed and expanded on the endless tunnels and caverns that stretch from their canyon all the way beneath the heart of the mountains. Over the years, the gold dwarves have tunneled up into the mountains from below, riddling the Uthangols with mines.
On the surface, black-skinned stone giants that migrated here from the Black Ash Plain dwell on the mountainsides. They fight for habitable spots on the lower slopes with gnolls and phase spiders, and avoid the hippogriffs, wyverns, and copper dragons that dwell in the higher reaches.
