A long range of stark, mineral-rich mountains stretches in an arc from the coast north of the Plains of Valor southeastward clear across the continent of Valtentis. Their high crags are largely treeless, sheer faces, like crooked helms that turn purple with the setting sun and gleam with ice in the winter.
Here are the primary dwellings of the dwarves of Mythras, in underground fortresses and mine-cities that predate even Old Valor. A stern and unyielding people, the dwarves have for millennia been staunch allies of humankind, sheltering many of the refugees who fled Valor’s downfall and, now that Valoria has arisen as a vibrant new power, trading regularly with the lakeside city.
